Seaside, Combe Martin, Ilfracombe, Devon, EX34

Situated in one of North Devon’s most sought-after coastal locations, Dolphin Cottage is a delightful double-fronted, two-bedroom period property occupying a prime position directly opposite Combe Martin beach. This rarely available cottage combines characterful charm with the convenience of modern open-plan living and offers an exciting opportunity for a wide range of buyers — whether you're seeking a holiday retreat, a lucrative holiday let investment, or a permanent coastal home.

The accommodation is well-proportioned and centres around a generously sized open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area. The modern fitted kitchen includes a built-in four-ring gas hob and electric oven, ample cupboard storage, a breakfast bar area, and a stainless steel sink with drainer. There is also space for an undercounter washer-dryer or dishwasher. Large front-facing windows allow natural light to flood the space and make the most of the stunning sea views just beyond the front door. The cottage retains its period character throughout, while offering scope for further improvement, giving prospective buyers the chance to put their own stamp on the property.

Upstairs, there are two comfortable double bedrooms and a well-sized family bathroom, with potential to reconfigure or modernise, subject to the buyer’s needs. From the first-floor landing, there is access to a private enclosed rear garden, which includes a courtyard area and a tiered garden beyond — ideal for summer dining, barbecues, or simply enjoying the sea air in a more sheltered setting. The garden also features a coal shed at the top, providing useful storage or potential for further use. UPVc double glazing and gas fired central heating.


Combe Martin itself is a charming seaside village on the edge of Exmoor National Park, popular with visitors and locals alike for its dramatic coastline, sandy beach, and excellent walking routes. The village offers a range of amenities including pubs, cafés, local shops, and regular bus services, making it a practical and attractive place to live or holiday.

With beachfront properties in this location rarely coming to market, Dolphin Cottage presents a unique opportunity to acquire a coastal home in an outstanding position, with the added benefit of no onward chain. EPC TBC and Council Tax Band B.
