Property description
An imposing 3/4 bedroom semi detached period house with A 2 bedroom self contained annexe situated in A elevated position enjoying excellent sea and harbour views
Nestled snugly amongst the rugged cliffs of the Atlantic coast sits Ilfracombe, an historic and charming harbour surrounded by breathtaking scenery. The Victorians made the area popular in the 1830s and much of the architecture today is a reminder of that era with many of the elegant buildings converted into hotels. The town has grown up around the harbour where fishing vessels share anchorage with pleasure craft and from where the M.S. Oldenburg regularly sails to Lundy Island, twelve miles off the coastline. With its array of shops, cafes and bars, Ilfracombe has an almost continental atmosphere.
