A Charming Character Cottage in a Prime Coastal Location
Nestled in a sought-after position close to Ilfracombe’s vibrant seafront and picturesque harbour, 4 Capstone Place is a beautifully presented character cottage exuding warmth, charm, and historic appeal. Once the home of celebrated author Henry Williamson, famed for Tarka the Otter, this delightful property offers spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over three light-filled floors.
Lovingly maintained by the current owners, the home boasts a welcoming open-plan layout on the ground floor, featuring a generous kitchen/living/dining room – the perfect setting for modern family living or entertaining. The well-appointed kitchen is fitted with a range of units, a walk-in pantry, and a duel fuel Rangemaster cooker. Double glazed doors lead out to a sunny rear courtyard, creating an ideal indoor-outdoor flow. A separate utility room provides practical space for laundry appliances and houses the gas-fired “A” rated boiler which was renewed in March 2025 and has a 10-year warranty.
On the first floor, a wide landing leads to a beautifully presented living room with a charming bay window, and a versatile double bedroom which could also serve as a study or additional sitting room. A stylish, modern family bathroom is located on the half landing.
The second floor offers three further bedrooms, including two spacious doubles, one with a wash hand basin, and a separate WC off the landing. The thoughtful layout provides comfort and flexibility for family life or visiting guests.
To the rear, a sunny courtyard garden offers a peaceful retreat with ample space for outdoor dining and relaxation. A large wooden shed is a valuable workshop/storage shed.
Further benefits include gas-fired central heating and double glazing throughout. Whether you’re looking for a permanent residence, a charming holiday home, or a lock-up-and-leave coastal retreat, this property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a special home in an enviable location where properties of this character seldom come to market.
Viewing highly recommended to appreciate the space, light, and charm this unique home has to offer.
