Property Description

Tucked away in its own peaceful oasis on the outskirts of Ilfracombe, this charming and characterful semi-detached cottage offers a truly unique lifestyle opportunity. Situated along Higher Slade Road, the property enjoys a tranquil setting with direct access to public footpaths and the renowned South West Coast Path, making it an ideal retreat for nature lovers, walkers, and those seeking a slower pace of life.

Full of charm and individuality, the main cottage boasts a spacious and inviting living room, a quirky country-style kitchen, two generous double bedrooms, and a three-piece family bathroom on the ground floor. Upstairs, a second three-piece bathroom occupies what was originally the third bedroom, offering the flexibility to be easily converted back into additional bedroom accommodation should it be required.

Stepping outside, the property truly comes into its own. The extensive rear gardens are simply breathtaking, creating the feeling of your own private tropical paradise. Meandering pathways weave through an impressive collection of mature exotic planting, vibrant greenery, and striking white pebbled landscaping, providing a peaceful sanctuary unlike anything else.

The grounds also offer exceptional versatility with two separate annexes. The first is a well-appointed one-bedroom annex featuring a spacious open-plan living and kitchen area, a double bedroom, and its own shower facilities, making it ideal for visiting family and friends or as a potential holiday let or rental income opportunity. Further up the garden sits a second two-bedroom annex, requiring renovation throughout but presenting fantastic scope to create further guest accommodation, a home office, studio, or an additional income-generating space.

Completing this remarkable home is its hidden gem – a secluded and private swimming pool nestled amongst the gardens. With a nearby BBQ and entertaining area, it's the perfect setting for relaxing in the sunshine, hosting family gatherings, or enjoying al fresco dining in complete privacy.

Offering an abundance of character, flexibility, and income potential, all within a spectacular natural setting just moments from the North Devon coastline, this is a property that simply must be viewed to be fully appreciated.

Location

Ilfracombe town offers a variety of independent shops, art galleries, restaurants and bars. The picturesque seafront and harbour area is home to artist Damien Hirst's ‘Verity’ statue at the harbour entrance. In addition is the exciting new water sports centre and café making the harbour a hive of activity.

North Devon has a wealth of simply stunning golden sand beaches and has long been a mecca for British surfers. The area has recently been declared a ‘world surfing reserve’, one of just 12 places on the planet along with Australia’s Golden Coast and Malibu in California.
