DESIGNED BY A PHOTOGRAPHER, WITH VIEWS IN MIND! Ready for your Ilfracombe eyrie? Perched atop the crest of Fairfield, the aptly named ‘Penthouse’ is an individually designed and built property with stunning views across the town, Torrs and sea. If the thought of stepping from your vaulted ceilinged lounge (with cinema) and leaning on the rail of your balcony, drinking in the incredible views, then this is the home for you!
Offering unparalleled views across Ilfracombe and the sea from both the front and side elevations, as well as truly stunning views of Capstone and the Atlantic Ocean beyond from the garden, this bespoke home is absolutely unique. Built in 1966 to a design created by a local photographer , this iconic home is arranged primarily as a bungalow with only a few steps in the entrance hall and again from the sitting room to the dining area. Retaining some period touches such as a frosted glass internal door and the original warm air heating system (powered by a boiler scrupulously maintained under a British Gas service contract) and having been upgraded in other areas (new double glazed sliding doors onto the balcony for example) . The sitting room is a wonderfully light and airy double aspect room with high vaulted ceilings and oversize sliding patio style doors onto the balcony with stunning views beyond, the room having the feel of a Tyrolean chalet, which the elevation and views contribute greatly to as well. Steps lead down to the dining area which also offers sea views and has a door leading off to the well fitted kitchen. Along the hallway there are three double bedrooms as well as a family bathroom and separate shower room with WC.
