Super-kingWith views of Ilfracombe harbour framed by the gorgeous north Devon coastline, and where the sea meets the horizon, you've found not only a fabulous Victorian villa that has been styled and refurbished beautifully but a north Devon location that will work for families, couples or even a solo traveller and, of course, no holiday is complete without your trusted four-legged companion. The warmest of welcomes awaits you at No 12!
This gorgeous three-storey, terraced abode is set back from the town yet within a short stroll down to the harbour, beaches and miles and miles of coast paths all from your front door! Once you've arrived in Ilfracombe there is no need to jump in your car, you can simply relax and enjoy all a holiday coastal town has to offer!
As you open the front door of No 12 you will instantly feel at home, from a cocktail hour in the sitting-room with a sea view, to a family feast enjoyed around the dining-table thanks to the family chef working their culinary magic in the fully equipped kitchen. For those chillier mornings stoke the wood-burner or on those balmy summer evenings enjoy the evening sun by pushing open the bi-fold door to the tiered garden. From a family barbecue to a sundowner you will find the perfect spot. The light and spacious ground floor really is rather special with beautiful touches such as the stained glass window to the views of the bobbing sea.
When the light fades and the night draws in, climb the stairs where you will discover three relaxing bedrooms. Each room has been decorated in muted calming tones complemented by beautiful styling, crisp linens and the cosiest of beds to rest your weary holiday legs with a dose of sea air! Bedroom one offers the versatility of a 'zip and link' bed - king or twins, the choice is yours. Bedroom two enjoys an en suite shower-room whilst sharing the same view as bedroom three that sits at the top of the house and accessed via a final set of stairs. The beauty of this house is that you also have the benefit of not one but two workstations should you need to check in on emails or study, sometimes life still has to continue even when you're on holiday but at No 12 you can do it in style.
Ilfracombe is home to Verity, Damien Hirst's iconic bronze sculpture which watches over the entrance of the harbour. The location provides the opportunity to see the local catch being landed or take a boat trip to explore the coastline or Lundy Island. There are several dog-friendly beaches and coves, and some quality eateries serving the best fish and chips.
Walkers will love this location, close to the South West Coast Path and just a short drive to the splendour of Exmoor with its wonderful riverside, coastal and moorland walks. The spectacular coastline in this National Landscape (formerly known as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) has many sandy coves, great for clambering over rocks and exploring rock pools. Should you wish to explore a little further, just a 15 minute drive or short bus ride away the award-winning beach at Woolacombe has miles of golden sand ideal for buckets and spades and surfing.
