Lee, Ilfracombe, Devon, EX34

Set within approximately half an acre of beautifully landscaped and mature gardens, this impressive family residence offers a rare combination of space, privacy and coastal living. The grounds also incorporate an attractive one-bedroom self-contained annexe for guests or extended family, a charming potting shed for the keen gardener, and a substantial double garage.

The living accommodation is both generous and adaptable, beginning with a welcoming entrance hall that flows into a principal sitting room, a further reception room, and a separate study. A well-appointed kitchen is complemented by a utility room, creating a practical yet refined layout well suited to modern family life and entertaining.

An elegant staircase rises to a half landing with cloakroom facilities and continues to the first floor, where four beautifully proportioned double bedrooms are arranged, each benefitting from its own en-suite. From these rooms there are delightful views across the gardens and the surrounding wooded valley.

Constructed in 2017, the one-bedroom annexe provides high-quality ancillary accommodation to the main house. While it cannot be occupied independently, it is ideally suited for visiting guests or a dependent relative, offering both comfort and privacy.

The potting shed occupies an elevated position within an area of natural grassland, surrounded by young specimen trees including silver birch, Japanese maples and magnolia. Planning permission is in place to extend the potting shed to incorporate a machinery store, together with consent for a substantial greenhouse on a higher level. From this vantage point, the outlook across the converging wooded valleys is particularly impressive.

The gardens are a notable feature of the property, laid predominantly to lawn and interspersed with mature trees and established flower beds, creating a peaceful and private setting.

The double garage is positioned above the driveway and provides excellent storage and parking facilities.

A private gateway leads directly towards the beach, making daily walks along the shoreline and coastal path an effortless pleasure. Kayaking and fishing from the rocks are easily enjoyed, with the opportunity to return home with fresh produce for a relaxed evening barbecue.
