The property is at the lower end and opposite a pathway that connects to the car park in Ropery Road and therefore is easily accessible to The Quay, Harbour, Pier and Beaches.
Ilfracombe is the largest resort in North Devon with a population of around 12,000 inhabitants which is boosted throughout the year with the influx of tourists. Recent inward investment to the town includes the construction of a new Water Sports Centre at Larkstone Cove due for completion in August 2022.
In addition the world renowned artist Damien Hirst has placed a statue called 'Verity' on the pier which attracts many more day visitors.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
