LOCATION
• Ilfracombe is a good sized Victorian town situated on the rugged North Devon coast. Its central feature is the attractive fishing port and harbour, with the Hillsborough skyline and the 13th century St Nicolas Chapel set aloft on Lantern Hill. The more recent addition of ‘Verity’ by Damien Hirst, also graces the harbour, and the award winning Landmark Theatre is close by with its iconic double conical design.

• The property is approached from St Brannocks Road via a sweeping driveway which leads up to a large expanse of extensive car parking to the side of the property. Directly to the front there is a large terrace laid with stone chippings, with seating and tables for guest’s convenience, with views toward the Bristol Channel and Wales beyond. The secondary lower tarmacadam driveway gives private access to the annexe, including 2 private parking spaces and enclosed private garden.

THE PROPERTY AND CONSTRUCTION
• Wildercombe House is an impressive and exceptionally well presented substantial property, located in a commanding position as you enter Ilfracombe town, enjoying stunning views overlooking rolling countryside, Ilfracombe town, on towards the dramatic Bristol Channel, and Wales on the horizon.
• The former Victorian gentleman’s residence was built in 1885 and stands within its own grounds of about an acre, with lawned terraces, a variety of plants, shrubs, mature trees, planted hedgerows, and light woodland to the top boundary, with unsurpassed, elevated views. At ground level, the retaining and boundary walls and courtesy lighting offer security for the parking of up to 16 vehicles.
• To say the property has been subject to tremendous refurbishment by the current owners, is an understatement! The building was stripped back to the original stone and brick shell, and a complete restoration undertaken, which included a new roof, double glazing throughout, and the installation of 3-phase electricity, gas, and water supplies. Wi-Fi is available throughout the building, along with hard-wired internet access points. Extensions were added at both ends of the building, incorporating a roof top terrace and Juliet balcony on the second floor. Building works included full internal plastering and rendering to the exterior, and decoration to suit. A secondary staircase was installed on the first floor, giving additional access to the second floor. Wherever possible, all bedrooms were restored to their original Victorian magnificence, size and high ceilings are everything. All bedrooms have contemporary en suite facilities. Works were completed in 2012, and to keep up-to-date with current trends, a number of additional alterations and further investment have continued to take place to present the building as you see today. However, great care has been taken to retain the building’s history and architecture. It is a most substantial property incorporating a total of 14 en suited bedrooms, a self-contained annexe, two large reception rooms, the commercial kitchen, laundry, and boiler room.
