Description - This is a rare opportunity to acquire a stunning detached period property, situated in an elevated position and enjoys fantastic views over Ilfracombe Town and out to sea, yet within walking distance of the town's historic harbour. The property offers versatile and elegant well-proportioned rooms arranged over three floors with part of the ground floor currently utilised as a self-contained one bedroom accommodation. Believed to date back to 1850, this splendid former sea captain's residence retains many of its original features combined with well-proportioned rooms, high ceilings and panelled doors, all typical of this era.
In recent years, the current owners have sympathetically renovated this characterful property with some of the most notable improvements, new kitchen, completely rewired, part new roof and beautifully landscaped gardens to name a few. The accommodation is arranged over three floors with 6 en-suite bedrooms and 4 receptions rooms.
The property must be viewed to appreciate the size and quality of the accommodation on offer. The accommodation with approximate dimensions is more clearly identified on the accompanying floorplan.
Outside - The property is approached via an impressive, stone pillared sweeping driveway to the front of the property that then extends around to the side where their is ample parking for up to five vehicles. To the front of the property is a seating area perfect for alfresco dining enjoying views over the town towards the sea. Wooded pathways to each side of the property lead to the tiered rear garden which wraps around the rear of the property and enjoys stunning views out to sea. There are flat areas of lawn, seating areas, mature trees and a plethora of ornamental shrubs. At the top of the garden is a private additional driveway allowing additional parking for another 3 vehicles, motor home or boat leading to timber single garage.
Special Note - Norbury House is currently still registered under commercial status as the property is currently run as a boutique B&B. Any buyer will need to gain change of use from Devon Council to be formally used as a full time residential property.
Contents and fixtures and fittings may be available by negotiation.
