Woodlands, Combe Martin, Ilfracombe, Devon, EX34

Oakleigh is a charming and exceptionally spacious 7 Bedroom semi-detached family home, offering over 2,000 sq ft of flexible living accommodation.
Perfectly positioned just a few yards from Combe Martin beach, the property enjoys stunning coastal scenery and easy access to a rugged, rocky cove. The village centre is also nearby, offering a range of amenities including independent shops, a primary school, bakery, chemist, health centre, and several pubs and restaurants.

From the rear of the house, you’ll enjoy uninterrupted views across the neighbouring countryside and out towards the bay and dramatic headlands. The property also benefits from off-road parking—a rare find in the village—and a generous garden with direct access to a footpath bordered by a stream, leading in just minutes to picturesque Newberry Beach.

Inside, Oakleigh retains much of its original character and period charm. The welcoming hallway features a beautiful original mosaic tiled floor and a staircase with an ornate spindle balustrade. The elegant lounge boasts a cast iron and tiled fireplace with marble surround and a large bay window opening onto a balcony with delightful valley and sea views. Several rooms also benefit from decorative coved ceilings, while both the lounge and the master bedroom have bay windows and access to private balconies, both of which have been newly renovated by the current owners.

The lower ground floor provides a useful multipurpose space with its own entrance, built-in storage, and a shower room—making it ideal for conversion into a separate annexe, holiday let, or guest accommodation (subject to any necessary consents).

An entrance porch to the side offers access from both the front and rear, leading into the main hallway. The heart of the home is the impressive 18ft x 11ft kitchen/dining room, which comfortably accommodates a dining table and features a range of fitted units, built-in oven, electric hob with extractor, and space for all essential appliances. There’s also a wall-mounted combination boiler for heating and hot water, a tiled floor, and a secondary entrance from the front parking area.

On the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms, a shower room, and separate WC. The master bedroom enjoys a large bay window with countryside and sea views, access to a private balcony, and a spacious walk-in dressing area with a hand basin—offering potential for a full en-suite. The two additional bedrooms are both generous doubles, each with a hand basin.

The second floor provides four more bedrooms and an additional family bathroom, ideal for larger families or those requiring flexible guest or office space.

Outside, the front of the home offers valuable off-road parking. The rear garden is low-maintenance, with a large pergola-covered patio, a small lawn, additional paved areas, and gravelled sections. It is fully enclosed and has gated steps leading down to the stream-side footpath that takes you directly to Newberry Beach.

Oakleigh is a truly impressive family home offering a wealth of character, spacious and flexible accommodation, and an enviable coastal location. A full internal viewing is highly recommended to appreciate all that this wonderful property has to offer. No onward chain.
