A self contained ground floor apartment within a substantial Victorian property of just 6 units offering, bright, spacious, tastefully modernised and versatile accommodation with breath taking frontline views across Woolacombe's famous sandy, surfing beach and across the beautiful bay. EPC Band C

Situation And Amenities - Enjoying quite simply what is an unrivalled position in front line Woolacombe with enviable 180-degree panoramic views over Woolacombe Bay, Baggy and Hartland Points, Lundy Island and the Atlantic Ocean. The view is ever changing and also takes in a direct outlook over the golden sandy beach and surf as well as the commercial heart of Woolacombe with the scenic back drop of open countryside. We are advised by the vendors that from the terrace the sunsets are quite magnificent and binoculars are essential apparatus to monitor the various vistas. Woolacombe is famous for it's 3 mile sandy beach between Baggy and Morte points, regularly receives blue flag and premier sea side beach awards, and has also become one of Devon's premier surfing destinations. The village itself offers a range of shops, restaurants, bars and leisure activities and is surrounded by National Trust Land with a wide variety of trails and walks to enjoy. The equally well regarded villages of Croyde and Saunton are both located a short drive away, each offering further sandy beaches and in the case of Saunton a popular Championship golf course. Nearby Ilfracombe has an attractive harbour, Exmoor National Park and Lynton/Lynmouth, in dramatic coastal scenery, are easily accessible by car. North Devon's main trading centre of Barnstaple is approximately 12 miles and offers a wide range of amenities and facilities one would associate with a large town including theatre and District Hospital. It also provides transport links on to the A361 (North Devon Link Road) which in turn connects to the M5 at Junction 27, where rail links to London (Paddington in about 2 hours) can be found at Tiverton Parkway.

Description - A self contained ground floor apartment, with totally private entrance, in turn off the private courtyard [both a rarity in Woolacombe], is within a substantial detached Victorian mansion which comprises 6 apartments in total and presents elevations of Marland brick with double glazed windows beneath a slate roof. Flat 2 offers bright, spacious, versatile and well presented accommodation from which the 'WOW' factor is definitely the fantastic sea view. There is a private outdoor terrace and parking for 2 vehicles, there are well tended communal gardens to the rear. Part of the apartment is single storey and therefore may offer potential for an extension above, subject to planning permission and lease considerations.

The property is approached via shared driveway. Two private parking spaces with brick pave drive and front door access via private walled courtyard. PORCH Window overlooking courtyard. Tiled floor and inner door leading into dining room/conservatory with views over Woolacombe. Tiled floor, archway leading into kitchen/breakfast room.

To the rear the COMMUNAL GARDENS are lawned and interspersed with mature trees and shrubs, there is a paved terrace and private Garden Shed, ideal for surfboards/bikes etc.

Services - All mains services, gas fired central heating.

Tenure/Special Note - We understand that the property is leasehold [999 years from 22/06/1992] but also has a 6th share in the freehold. The current service charge is approximately £1,400 per annum including a sinking fund, NO HOLIDAY LETTING IS ALLOWED (other than to family and friends) however, as freeholders, the owners could over turn this policy by consensus but this is apparently unlikely at this juncture. The apartments can be rented out on an Assured Shorthold tenancy basis. We understand that pets may be allowed after obtaining a license from the management company.

Directions - As one drops down into Woolacombe the Esplanade is easily found over looking the main beach and sea. St Michaels is within a few hundred yards along on the right hand side. What3Words:///shoving.birthdays.caused

This includes an extensive stretch of coastline, as well as the Taw and Torridge Estuaries, which keeps the firm's Waterside Property Department extremely busy.
