3 bed detached house for sale

Park Hill Road, Ilfracombe, Devon EX34

Tucked away in a private position, Little Orchard is a character-filled Edwardian detached home that immediately wraps you in warmth and comfort. Built around 1912, this is a property that feels welcoming from the moment you step inside - a home where traditional charm, character and cosy living come together beautifully.

The sense of character is unmistakable throughout. Period features sit comfortably alongside thoughtful updates, creating rooms that feel both elegant and relaxed. Feature fireplaces, decorative cornicing, ceiling roses and stained internal doors all add to the atmosphere, while woodburning stoves provide a natural focal point and a reassuring glow on cooler evenings.

The entrance hall is inviting and full of presence, centred around a graceful L-shaped staircase with spindle balustrade that hints at the space beyond. The main sitting room enjoys a dual aspect with lovely natural light and far-reaching views towards the Bristol Channel, making it a perfect place to unwind beside the fire. A second reception room offers flexibility and intimacy, ideal as a snug, dining room or home office, again benefiting from its own character fireplace and a wonderfully cosy feel.

The kitchen is the heart of the home, fitted with solid ash units, Corian worktops and a central island that lends itself to everyday family life and relaxed entertaining. From here, a useful utility room leads through to a practical ground floor shower room with WC.

Upstairs, three generous double bedrooms provide calm and comfortable accommodation, with the principal bedroom enjoying stunning sea and countryside views. The family bathroom is fitted with a classic three-piece white suite.

Little Orchard is a home that feels peaceful, comforting and quietly special, offering a rare blend of character, warmth and setting that is increasingly hard to find.
