Seashells is an attractive detached property built in 2012 and in the current ownership since 2017. The property offers versatile accommodation arranged over two floors and would suit purchasers seeking a holiday investment or second home.

The accommodation begins with an entrance hallway providing access to a double/twin bedroom with en-suite shower room. The hallway then opens into the impressive dual-aspect open plan kitchen, dining and living room, which forms the heart of the property.

This bright and spacious living area features an impressive vaulted ceiling and large feature window, allowing an abundance of natural light to flood the space and creating a wonderful airy and welcoming atmosphere. Double doors open directly onto the patio and enclosed garden, providing seamless indoor–outdoor living and an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining.

The generous proportions allow ample room for comfortable lounge seating and a dining area, while the open layout ensures the space remains sociable and practical for your holidays and holiday guests. The well-appointed kitchen integrates effortlessly with the living space making this room perfectly suited to everyday living and hosting.

From the main living space, an inner hallway leads to a further twin/double bedroom with en-suite shower room, along with stairs rising to the first floor, where there is a third twin/double bedroom with handy wardrobe space in the eves. A family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.

A particularly useful feature of the property is the integral garage, accessed from the entrance hall. Currently arranged as a large utility and storage area with sink facilities, it is considered that this space offers excellent flexibility and could potentially be adapted for a home office, gym, or even a fourth bedroom with en-suite if required. Any such alternations would be subject to necessary planning permissions and consents.

Externally, the property is approached via a tarmac driveway providing parking for two vehicles, with gated side access leading to the enclosed rear garden. Designed for low maintenance, the garden includes a paved patio area directly off the living space offering ample room for the addition of a hot tub, further enhancing its appeal as a coastal retreat.

Seashells occupies a convenient position at the top of Woolacombe, with a footpath to the beach within easy reach of the property, allowing quick access to the renowned coastline. The Tarka Trail runs just behind the property and can be accessed nearby, offering miles of scenic walking and cycling routes towards Ilfracombe and across the North Devon countryside.

The property has a 28 day holiday restriction and is currently operating as a holiday let and second home for the current owners. This property cannot currently be used as a full time residence. It is worth noting that other properties in this development have successfully secured planning for full time residency.
