Combe Martin, Ilfracombe, EX34

Auction Guide Price £150,000 to £200,000 - This intriguing Victorian 3 Storey House is believed to date from 1856 - is not Listed - and has been in the same ownership for the last 25 years.  It is now in need of either complete renovation, restoration and repair or alternatively, subject to the necessary consents, demolition and re-build.

The setting is amazing as it sits in about an acre of North facing steeply sloping grounds, parts of which are very overgrown but all contained by stone walls. It is approached over a lane from Wood Lane over which it has a right of way, continuing past Glendale Barns to the edge of the Northern boundary. There was, apparently, a part tarmaced drive up to the front of the house, but this now partly overgrown.

Combe Martin is a seaside village of great character set in a valley between Ilfracombe and Exmoor and includes a useful range of shops and facilities, a lovely beach and reputably one of the longest High Streets in the country. Numerous places of interest nearby include a Wildlife Park just up the road, beaches at Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton and the twin towns of Lynton and Lynmouth and the rugged beauty of Exmoor National Park. Barnstaple, the regional centre of North Devon is about 11 miles distant and there is easy access to the North Devon Link Road.
