SITUATION AND AMENITIES In a quiet and favoured residential location, enjoying fine views across the town to the sea in the distance. The property is ideally situated to appreciate the delights of the North Devon coast and countryside from spectacular cliff scenery to the rugged beauty of Exmoor. Immediately to the rear, the National Trust owned Torrs area and coastal path lead westward to the lovely coastal village of Lee. Further west, the island of Lundy and the Welsh coast are clearly visible in the distance, and the path brings you to the villages of Mortehoe and Woolacombe, with miles of golden sandy beaches. The small historic town of Ilfracombe itself is a ten minute walk, and boasts a fascinating harbour offering boating and fishing trips, quaint pubs, numerous restaurants including Damien Hirst's restaurant on the quay, theatre, beach and picturesque rocky coves. The activities available locally are many and varied including golf, horse riding and pony trekking, water sports and excellent river and sea fishing. A little further afield there are fine gardens and country houses to explore, excellent shopping in the ancient market town of Barnstaple, which is about 15 miles. The nearest available airports are at Bristol or Exeter, the nearest mainline station is at Barnstaple or Tiverton Parkway. From Barnstaple, the A361 provides access to the M5 at Junction 27. DESCRIPTION Originally built in 1875 as a Victorian Gentleman's residence, Seven Hills House has been modified and extended in subsequent years, and also divided into a number of units. The entire property presents elevations which are principally of cream brick beneath a slate roof. This major portion incorporates the original grand staircase, reception rooms, and some of the original bedrooms all tastefully modernised to combine modern comforts with many period features. The accommodation is well presented, bright, spacious, generous and adaptable. The self contained garden apartment adds a further dimension providing accommodation for guests, in-laws, or home and income as at present (the apartment produces monthly rental income of ?450 per calendar month). Seven Hills House is suitable for dual occupation, as a principle home but would also be ideal as a second home with investment potential.
