There is always something to see on a day to day basis as the harbour forms one of Ilfracombe's main attractions and is the area from which the town built its foundations as a working fishing port and hub for importing coal back in the early Victorian era and then latterly becoming a thriving tourist resort thereafter. The sea front area in particular has seen huge investment in recent years. There is a constant stream of boats in and out of the harbour, both those out for pleasure and leisure pursuits as well as fishing boats and charter vessels. The newly built Water Sports Centre and Lime Kiln Cafe/Bar is just minutes stroll away and is a great place for a bite to eat, an evening drink and is home to the local Gig Club and other water-based activities with the town's swimming pool also being close by. Within the town there are schools for all ages, a Medical Centre and hospital and Tesco, Lidl and Co-Op supermarkets. Local beaches include the harbour, Larkstone and Rapparee, all just a few minutes walk away, with the famous 'Tunnels' Beaches with its sea water pool also being within easy reach. North Devon has a huge amount to offer with the fabulous golden sand surfing beaches at Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton just a short car ride away. The Exmoor National Park is also within easy reach and enjoys some breath-taking scenery and miles and miles of walking. North Devon's main trading centre, Barnstaple, is approximately 12 miles away and has many of the big-name shops. There is also a rail link to Exeter which then connects directly to the major stations in London. The main A361 North Devon Link road also connects from Barnstaple and joins the M5 at junction 27. There is also private education at the renowned West Buckland School.
At present, the property is used as a high-quality holiday home/holiday let with excellent bookings and income. Weekly income ranges from £1,511 in the low season up to £4,143 at peak times.

Equally, the property would make a very comfortable and versatile permanent family home.

View more View less Quayfield House sits in a fabulous and unrivalled harbourside location and is very much a unique home offering outstanding and far reaching views over the inner harbour, Lantern Hill and Damien Hirst's 'Verity' statue, across to Hillsborough and out over the Bristol Channel towards the distant Welsh coastline. The attractive and characterful home has been significantly improved and modernised to a high standard by the present owners, offering the accommodation in excellent order throughout, ready for immediate occupation. The five bedrooms and six bathrooms offer plenty of space and convenience for the larger family with the delightful sea-facing living rooms perfect for modern day family living and entertaining. The high-quality facilities continue outside as well with terraced, low maintenance gardens and a large two-tier sun terrace providing ample space for outdoor furniture, al-fresco dining and sunbathing. Furthermore, there is a superb Scandinavian barbeque lodge, a stunning lifestyle feature of this unique waterside residence. The property benefits from a separate 29 ½ ft long garage located 120 metres from the property by the harbourfront which is a real rarity for a property so close to the harbour. The position of the home is truly outstanding with very few opportunities to buy a residential property sitting immediately adjacent to the harbour ever being available. The property is right in amongst Ilfracombe's main attraction and close to the various shops, restaurants, wine bars and public houses, cafes and art galleries and theatre within the sea front area. Damien Hirst's "Verity" statute stands prominently on Ilfracombe pier and has been the catalyst for a great number of visitors to the town in recent years. The high street with its further selection of small independent shops and amenities is again just a short distance away and there are schools for all ages as well as Tesco, Lidl and Co-Op Supermarkets.
