5 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Ilfracombe

3 5 3

Spindrift is an impressive and exceptionally versatile detached chalet-style residence, occupying a wonderfully private plot of approximately 0.74 acres and offering an outstanding combination of generous family accommodation, beautifully established gardens and valuable additional living space. NO CHAIN.

One of the defining features of the property is the sheer flexibility it provides. The principal home offers four bedrooms and spacious, beautifully presented accommodation arranged over two floors, while within the grounds sits a completely separate one-bedroom detached bungalow which is currently operated as a successful year-round holiday let. Together with a gym, summer house, greenhouse, garage and extensive gardens, Spindrift presents a particularly rare opportunity for buyers seeking space, privacy, income potential and an enviable lifestyle setting.

Approached over a generous private driveway, the property immediately conveys a sense of space and seclusion. There is extensive off-road parking for eight or more vehicles, making the home particularly well suited to larger families, visiting guests or those running a business from home.

On entering the main residence, the quality of presentation and generous proportions become immediately apparent. The accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to provide excellent flexibility, with two substantial bedrooms situated on the ground floor and a further two bedrooms on the first floor.

At the heart of the home is the impressive L-shaped living and dining room. This wonderfully sociable space is flooded with natural light and provides ample room for both comfortable seating and a large dining table, making it equally suited to relaxed family living and entertaining on a larger scale. Direct access to the gardens further enhances the relationship between the house and its outdoor surroundings, particularly during the warmer months.

The kitchen is another particularly strong feature of the property and has been fitted with a comprehensive range of modern units, providing excellent storage and preparation space. Well considered and highly practical, it is complemented by a separate utility room, ideal for keeping everyday household appliances and laundry away from the main living areas.

One of the standout spaces within the home is the large sun room. Currently arranged as an additional sitting room, this beautifully light reception space enjoys delightful views across the gardens and provides a wonderfully peaceful place in which to relax throughout the year. With its outlook over the grounds, it is a room that truly makes the most of Spindrift's exceptional setting.

The ground floor also accommodates two particularly generous bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a superb suite in its own right, benefiting from fitted wardrobes, a separate dressing room and a private en-suite shower room. The second ground-floor bedroom is another excellent double room, also featuring fitted wardrobes and offering a great deal of versatility for family members or guests.

Completing the ground-floor accommodation is an ultra-modern shower room fitted with an impressive four-piece suite, together with a separate cloakroom.

The first floor provides two further bedrooms. The larger of the two is a spacious double room enjoying attractive coastal views, while also providing access to useful eaves storage. The fourth bedroom is a comfortable single room, again enjoying an appealing coastal outlook. This upper floor arrangement offers further flexibility and would work equally well for children, guests or as additional home-working space if required.

Outside is where Spindrift becomes especially memorable.

The gardens and grounds extend to approximately 0.74 acres and have been carefully created to provide a remarkable degree of privacy. With a sunny aspect and numerous mature trees, plants and established areas of planting, the gardens form a genuine haven for wildlife and birdlife and provide a wonderfully peaceful backdrop to the home. There is potential to section off part of the garden to create an additional building plot, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission and all relevant consents.

The grounds are fully enclosed, making them particularly appealing for families with children and those with pets. A variety of seating and entertaining areas have been positioned throughout the gardens, allowing different parts of the plot to be enjoyed throughout the day.

A large sun terrace overlooks the grounds and provides an ideal setting for al fresco dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the outlook. Elsewhere within the garden is a summer house with electricity connected, providing another attractive place to sit, work or unwind.

A substantial pond, extending to approximately 40ft, creates an impressive focal point and further adds to the sense of tranquillity and wildlife interest. An orchard area provides further character to the grounds, while a greenhouse with electricity offers excellent scope for keen gardeners.

Also positioned within the grounds is a versatile detached gym. This is an excellent space in its current form but could equally lend itself to use as a home office, studio, hobby room or additional workspace, depending upon individual requirements.

A particularly valuable feature of Spindrift is the detached one-bedroom bungalow situated within the grounds. Currently run as a successful year-round holiday let, it offers excellent potential to generate a supplementary income while remaining entirely separate from the main residence.

The bungalow has been designed to provide comfortable and self-contained accommodation, comprising an open-plan living and dining room, fitted kitchen, bathroom and a good-sized double bedroom with fitted wardrobes. Importantly, the bungalow also enjoys its own private garden and seating area, giving visiting guests a welcome degree of privacy and independence.

The additional accommodation could equally suit a dependent relative, extended family member or guests, creating genuine multigenerational living potential without compromising the privacy of the main home.

A garage provides further secure storage and practical space, while electricity is available to the garage, summer house and greenhouse, adding to the overall usability of the grounds.

Spindrift is a home of considerable versatility and character, combining substantial accommodation with extensive private gardens and a range of valuable outbuildings. The successful holiday-let bungalow provides a rare additional dimension, whether retained as an income-producing asset or adapted for extended family living.

For those seeking a spacious family home with privacy, beautifully established gardens, coastal views, ancillary accommodation and exceptional flexibility, Spindrift represents a particularly compelling opportunity.
