Situated above Ilfracombe’s charming harbour and nestled along the Rapparee Coves, you'll feel completely immersed in the coastal lifestyle here. Awaken from restful slumbers to rolling tides and a soft sea breeze at this family home, ready to explore the local Devonshire delights. With Cheyne and Hele Beach within walking distance, the hiking paths across Hillsborough Nature Preserve a short stroll away and the quaint seafront eateries in the harbour just moments away, you’re all set up for a sea-grazing retreat. Inside, the pastel colour palette, bay windows and plush furnishings keep things feeling bright and cosy. The modern and sleek kitchen provides a perfect setting to test out those seafood dishes you’ve been pinning to your holiday board, whilst the family-style dining room is perfectly set up for the event. The living room feels like the idyllic spot to unwind after long walks in Exmoor National Park, whilst the kids can make the most of the XBox in the upstairs snug. Sunny days can be spent on the patio, dining and reclining in front of the rolling seaside scenery. Our idea of a perfect afternoon includes firing up the grill for a charred array of dishes, a glass of local wine and a soak in the garden’s hot tub.
