Semi-detached house for sale

Belmont Road, Ilfracombe, Devon EX34

Location
In a quiet yet convenient location just set back from Belmont Road, close to the junction of Church Hill, the property is within 5 minutes walking distance of the town centre, overlooking, from the top floor to the West, Torrs Park and from the rear of the property, to the North East and the rooftops of Ilfracombe.

The property has the benefit of a signpost close to the junction of St Brannocks Road and Church Hill which is highly visible from passing traffic.

There is a private pathway through the grounds from the rear garden to the bottom of Church Hill.

The town itself is North Devon's leading tourist resort having a population in excess of 10,500 inhabitants which is boosted during the summer months with an influx of tourists.

The world renowned artist Damien Hirst has given the town on loan, the statue called Verity, which is erected on the Pier which has attracted more day visitors to the resort.

Within the mature gardens there is ample parking space and several car ports. In addition, at the far end of the garden there are two semi-detached timber framed centrally heated holiday chalets overlooking a "secret walled garden" which produces a substantial letting income throughout the year.
Beyond the holiday chalets is a level lawned garden with fish pond. There are substantial basement storage rooms and workshops below the chalets for owner's use.
The garden is approached from a tree lined pathway giving access to the bottom of Church Hill and there is also pedestrian and vehicular access from Belmont Road to the main car park.
