A historic building that started life in 1905 as a cinema, a theme inherent in the property today. Located within walking distance of everything that this seaside harbour town has to offer, The Tunnels Beaches, a popular private beach and wedding venue, shops, restaurants, the harbour and beaches. A superbly converted duplex apartment with four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Enter via the communal hall and head up the three flights of stairs, you open the front door to a large reception area that leads into a spacious, modern living area incorporating the dining, kitchen and seating. The exceptional exposed stone wall grabs your attention in this property, which is also flooded with light from the skylights, a feature that is found throughout the property. The fitted kitchen serves all your requirements; the solid wooden work surface adds further appeal to this lovely relaxed property. Also on this level, you have a toilet, a double bedroom and a master bedroom with an en-suite shower room. This spacious level is a great gathering place, with space for everyone in your party. Head upstairs to find the family bathroom with a shower contained within the bath, a clever use of space in the twin room with sloping ceilings and plenty of light. A further double bedroom with exposed beams is full of character and also enjoys plenty of light with the skylight.
Ilfracombe Harbour and Port, dating back to at least the 12th century, offers ice cream and fish and chips, with various craft shops and art galleries to enjoy. The surrounding area has many attractions to be discovered, including Cairn Woodland Nature Reserve, Hillsborough and Rapparee Cove, The Torrs, Watermouth Bay and the South West Coast Path. Then there’s the lovely Fuchsia Valley and, for the family, Watermouth Castle and Theme Park, to name but a few.
Take a trip to Lundy Island or enjoy coastal cruises, fishing, sea-life safaris, and diving which are all available locally. A boat trip on the Ilfracombe Princess to see seals, porpoises and sea birds nesting on the cliffs. Fancy sea fishing? Try the Blue Fin or take an exhilarating tour of the amazing coastline on the Ilfracombe Sea Safari or on the Hampshire Rose, a former RNLI Lifeboat. Ilfracombe is also perfectly situated to enjoy the countless other North Devon attractions such as the popular Tarka Trail, providing the unique opportunity to follow a disused railway line giving the opportunity to enjoy some of Devon’s finest countryside and scenery, stretching from Barnstaple through to Bideford and beyond. Exmoor National Park is just 9 miles away and Lynton and Lynmouth are 17 miles to the east, with their incredible sea views, rugged cliffs and amazing funicular cliff railway, which opened in 1890 and is the highest and steepest, totally water-powered railway in the world!
There are world-class beaches such as Saunton Sands, Woolacombe, Croyde and Westward Ho!, all of which are famous for their surfing qualities, vast stretches of sand and great dunes. Don’t fancy cooking after a day out and about, then there are several good quality and popular restaurants to try out in Ilfracombe, many of which are regularly visited by locals from all over North Devon for their tasty local and ethnic fayre. Beach 250 yards. Pub and restaurant 110 yards.
