Property description

3 Woodside Place, Ilfracombe is a very spacious one-bedroom purpose-built apartment, originally constructed in 2002 as one of just three units within the building. The property offers an impressive 59.4m? (639ft?) of accommodation comparable in size to many two-bedroom apartments and occupies an elevated, sunny position with far-reaching views over the town towards the Score Valley and out to the distant Bristol Channel.

The apartment has recently been fully renovated throughout to a high standard, now featuring a modern fitted kitchen complete with a built-in electric oven, four-ring gas hob, and sleek contemporary fittings. The newly installed bathroom is finished to an excellent standard, comprising a stylish three-piece white suite with a bath and shower over with glass screen, a low-level WC, and a round white hand basin with an undersink vanity unit providing practical storage and a modern finish.

Despite being on the top floor, the property benefits from completely level access directly from the car park, via a private bridge which has just been renovated with new composite decking leading to the front door, ideal for elderly or less mobile purchasers. Further features include gas-fired central heating, uPVC double glazing, and no onward chain.

The accommodation includes a large 19ft x 15ft living room enjoying superb views towards the Score Valley and the sea in the distance, with the newly fitted kitchen conveniently leading off. The double bedroom also enjoys the delightful outlook and features a generous walk-in wardrobe/store as well as access to the loft space for additional storage. The lounge has been sectioned off with a modern wooden slatted frame, that creates an inviting space perfect to use as a home office or snug.

Outside, there is a brick-paved communal parking area providing an allocated parking space for Apartment 3, along with an additional visitor space. The property is located just a short distance from the town centre and high street, with the Cairn Nature Reserve and Tarka Trail nearby, perfect for walking and cycling enthusiasts.

This beautifully refurbished apartment is ideal as a first-time buy, retirement home, or long-term rental investment, and we strongly recommend an early internal viewing to fully appreciate the quality and finish on offer.
