The Grange, Kingsley Avenue, Devon, EX34 8ET

Set at the end of a private driveway within approximately 2.81 acres of beautifully established gardens, woodland and pasture, The Grange is an impressive detached Victorian residence offering exceptional space, character and versatility on the outskirts of Ilfracombe.

Dating from the 1890s with later additions, the main house provides over 6,450 sq ft of accommodation arranged across three floors.

A grand entrance hall leads to two generous reception rooms, currently arranged as a lounge and dining room, together with a conservatory, orangery and substantial kitchen/breakfast room.

Further accommodation includes a utility room, boot room and a ground floor bedroom suite designed for accessible living.

Across the main house and annexe there are six bedrooms to the main house and a further 2 bedrooms to the annexm, providing outstanding flexibility for larger families, those looking for multi-generational living or buyers wanting space for visiting family and friends.

A particular feature is the impressive indoor leisure complex, incorporating a heated 40ft swimming pool, electrically operated cover, six-person hot tub and changing facilities, with direct access to a private garden terrace and built-in barbecue.

The detached annexe is a significant advantage.

The ground floor provides a substantial games room and garage/workshop, while the first floor offers a self-contained two-bedroom apartment with living room, kitchen, bathroom and private garden.

This makes The Grange ideally suited to dual occupancy, dependent relatives, older children or extended family, while also providing the potential to generate a supplementary income if desired.

Outside, the secluded grounds include sweeping lawns, ponds, mature woodland, pasture, terraces and pathways, with attractive countryside and sea views.

There is also generous parking and turning space for several vehicles.

Currently used as self-catering holiday accommodation, The Grange lends itself exceptionally well to becoming a substantial private family residence.

Bicclescombe Park lies at the end of the drive, with Ilfracombe’s harbour, amenities and the beaches of Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton all within easy reach.

Ilfracombe is a characterful Victorian seaside town offering a good range of everyday amenities, including independent shops, supermarkets, schools, a cinema, healthcare facilities and a variety of cafés, bars and restaurants.

The picturesque harbour remains a focal point of the town, home to the iconic Verity statue, along with a selection of galleries and eateries.

The town also benefits from a modern watersports centre and the well-regarded Ilfracombe Aquarium.

A range of local events and seasonal festivals take place throughout the year, many centred around the harbour and seafront, including performances at the Landmark Theatre.

The surrounding North Devon coastline is renowned for its natural beauty, with nearby Hele Bay offering a more sheltered beach, while the award-winning beaches at Woolacombe, Croyde and Putsborough are all within easy reach by car.
