Property description
This huge, Georgian semi-detached house offers great space for large family get-togethers, special events and holidays. The house is set back from the road, above Ilfracombe, only moments from the trail of the Torrs Walk. It has nine ensuite bedrooms, a games room with a pool table, views over town and a small, south-facing garden. It is within walking distance of the town and a shingle beach, and a ten-minute drive from a superb sandy beach.
Location
Set back off the road with plenty of parking, a short walk above Ilfracombe. The town has plenty of restaurants and shops, as well as its own beach.
Airports: Exeter; Plymouth.
Stations: Barnstaple; Exeter.
Accommodation
The house is decorated in traditional style, with sunny bay windows and dormers on the top floor. You will open the front door and enter a large reception hall and sweeping staircase.
The main living room, decorated in soft pink wallpaper and carpeting, has plenty of space for you all to relax and spread out in, a TV and DVD/video player, a gas fire and lots of squishy sofas and armchairs. A smaller lounge next door has another TV, ideal for children with their own agenda.
The dining room has plenty of space, a hi-fi, and a large, farmhouse style table and chairs, seating 20. A door leads from the ground floor into the garden.
The sleeping arrangements are very flexible. All nine bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms, plus TVs, kettles and hairdryers. There are five doubles (you’ll have to toss for the double four poster with canopy!) two twins, and two family rooms (doubles with an extra single bed in each).
A group of 22 can happily prepare large meals in the kitchen, as there’s generous food preparation space and a six-burner gas hob. There are two separate utility rooms, one housing additional freezers and an American-style fridge, the other a washing machine and tumble dryer.
Facilities
A games room with pool and bar billiards tables, a football game and darts.
Bed linen and central heating are included. A cot and high chair are available.
There’s parking room for four cars.
Area
Devon is holiday country, with no end of attractions for families. Besides days on the beach, walking, cycling and touring Exmoor, you can visit The Landmark Theatre, which has a year round programme in Ilfracombe, walk the Trail of the Torrs (approximately seven miles, beginning at Ilfracombe and ending in Woolacombe), and take fishing trips and pleasure cruises from the harbour at Ilfracombe, around the coast or to Lundy Island. Then there’s The Big Sheep (still a sheep farm but now offering a day’s worth of family entertainment and woolly shopping on site), The Eden Project and The Milky Way theme park.
