Introduction: - Completed in 2012, Lantern court is a flagship contemporary development occupying a commanding location with the most breathtaking views across the picturesque Ilfracombe Harbour, Lantern Hill, Capstone, the Bristol Channel and distant Welsh coast. The property was constructed by multi award-winning McCarthy Stone specifically for independent living for those over 60 years of age. It is located convenient to the High Street and Sea front and local amenities which include a Post office, Pharmacy, Hairdressers, Bakers, Banks and Supermarkets. St. James's Park is adjacent to the development with pathways leading to the Harbour.

The development enjoys a host of communal facilities for the benefit of Homeowners, not least of which is the beautiful Homeowners lounge with large balcony and magnificent coastal views. In addition, there is a lift serving all floors, mobility scooter store, laundry room and a landscaped garden with harbour viewing deck.
Further peace-of-mind is found in the service provided by our House Manager who oversees the smooth running of the development and a 24-hour emergency call system in the apartments and communal areas. There is a guest suite available for visiting family and friends, for which a small charge of £25 per night is made.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). 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
