Property description
The Brittania, part of the exclusive Cove View Apartments, is an exceptional property that truly delivers the wow factor. Immaculately maintained by the current owner, it occupies a prime position on Ilfracombe?s seafront, showcasing breathtaking views stretching across the Bristol Channel, the rugged local coastline, and all the way to the Welsh shores on the opposite side.
At the centre of the home is an impressive openplan living, dining and kitchen area measuring approximately 30ft by 16ft. This expansive space is bright, contemporary and stylish, featuring a comprehensive selection of highquality gloss-finish units and integrated appliances. Two generous bay windows open onto the front balcony, while recessed lighting enhances the modern atmosphere. From here, the sweeping views over Ilfracombe and the water beyond can be fully appreciated. A central island with a stainlesssteel sink and drainer provides additional practicality, as does the extra builtin storage. A doubleglazed door leads directly to a spacious private balcony?perfect for outdoor dining or entertaining against a stunning coastal backdrop.
Across the hallway is the light-filled master bedroom, complete with two doubleglazed doors opening onto another private balcony. This allows for an uninterrupted outlook over Wildersmouth Beach right from the bed. The room also benefits from a fully tiled ensuite equipped with a walkin shower, pedestal wash basin and lowlevel WC.
The second double bedroom includes a generous builtin wardrobe and its own private balcony enjoying views towards Hillsborough Hill and Ilfracombe Harbour.
The sleek finishes continue into the family bathroom, which features a bath with shower over, a wash basin and lowlevel WC. A further doubleglazed door again provides access to the large balcony area.
Outside, an allocated parking space is located within a secure area opposite the property at road level.
Access to The Brittania is gained via an internal balustrade staircase rising to the second floor, with a highquality lift available for enhanced convenience and accessibility.
Additional benefits include gasfired central heating and tasteful, neutral d?cor throughout. The lower-ground floor (also accessible by lift) houses a large private storage room?ideal for safely keeping surfboards, wetsuits and beach equipment separate from the living accommodation.
Cove View Apartments sit just a short stroll from Ilfracombe?s charming harbour, home to Damien Hirst?s iconic ?Verity? Sculpture. The surrounding area offers an excellent choice of restaurants, bars, independent shops, galleries, a theatre, and a variety of beaches and coves to explore. This exceptional apartment is perfectly suited as a lowmaintenance permanent residence or a highend holiday retreat.
