Moments from the harbour, the historic Chapel of St Nicholas and Capstone Hill, this modern apartment is surrounded by beautiful sights. Set in the seaside town of Ilfracombe, the home is close to several beaches, including Tunnels Beaches – a series of sheltered bays and a Victorian tidal bathing pool found through a series of tunnels. For surfers, Croyde and Woolacombe are a short drive away, while daredevils can try their hand at activities such as coasteering. North Devon's coast is also on full display from the apartment with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the ocean – keep eyes peeled for wildlife such as porpoises, seals and oystercatchers and enjoy alfresco breakfasts on the balcony. With a central location in the town, the home is not far from shops if you're cooking, or there are plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance if you fancy a night off. Stretch your legs by following The South West Coast Path which leads past the apartment and through cliffs and dramatic coastline or jump in the car for some light entertainment at Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park.
