House For Sale £1,350,000
Foamlea is a fine double bay fronted detached period property that offers over 2,300 sq. ft. of adaptable and light-filled accommodation across two spacious floors. Set in a remarkable waterside position, the property offers absolutely stunning panoramic sea and countryside views. The interiors are in need of some modernisation and the property benefits from appealing character features throughout including high ceilings, sash windows and cornicing.
At the front of the property is an attractive veranda that provides the perfect seating area for looking out towards the magnificent views. There is a covered porch which opens into a spacious central reception hall, giving access to the three large reception rooms, the kitchen/breakfast room and a WC. The sitting room and dining room, with their wide aspects from the veranda to the sea, both feature unique fireplaces, plus tall corniced and moulded ceilings. At the rear of the house is a versatile additional reception room, currently used as a workshop, and opening into another smaller workshop with a sink, storage and direct access to the garden. This room could be adapted into a useful boot room. The well-proportioned kitchen/breakfast has an inset Mercury range stove, a variety of wooden bespoke cabinetry, with a fitted larder and useful separate utility room alongside. The first floor landing branches off to a family bathroom with bathtub, separate walk-in shower and cloakroom and five well-proportioned and bright bedrooms with a range of unbeatable views, four of which have decorative fireplaces.
A private driveway leads down to the property and gives access to two adaptable outbuildings, one of which is used as a garage. The home enjoys a superior elevated seafront position with a paved front-facing terrace and veranda. The beautiful surrounding stepped garden, measuring approximately half an acre, is brimming with a vast range of expertly chosen shrubs and herbaceous planting blending seamlessly into the surrounding landscapes, with fine stone features, a partial brick-built alpine house and new greenhouse and easy access to the array of sandy beaches on the doorstep.
Foamlea is situated just moments from a footpath which leads downwards through National Trust land to a quiet sandy cove with beautiful blue, clear water. For those who enjoy outdoor pursuits, the property is perfectly situated for water sports, surfing and swimming, as well as being adjacent to miles of footpaths to explore in this unspoilt North Devon countryside Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Ideally situated between the highly desirable villages of Mortehoe and Woolacombe, Foamlea also enjoys access to a wide range of amenities including shops, eateries, public houses and Post Offices. The historic town of Ilfracombe offers further amenities, including supermarkets and schooling, with the regional centre of Barnstaple providing a vast array of local and national retailers, leisure facilities and a mainline railway station. The A361 North Devon link road offers convenient connections to Exeter, the motorway network and further afield.
