About
Positioned on the highly sought-after Broad Park Avenue, right on the edge of Torrs Park, this elegant and substantial semi-detached residence offers beautifully presented accommodation arranged over three floors, combining timeless character with exceptional family living.
From the outset, the property impresses.
A charming front garden filled with mature shrubs and blossoming trees is complemented by a characterful yellow brick pathway leading to the entrance, alongside the added benefit of two off-road parking spaces.
Internally, the home is rich in original features, including ceiling coving, picture rails, stained glass windows and striking Victorian tiled flooring, all enhanced by an abundance of natural light from impressive bay windows throughout.
The ground floor offers two generous living spaces alongside a separate dining room, which benefits from double-glazed French doors opening directly onto the garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
The accommodation is both spacious and versatile, comprising five well-proportioned double bedrooms, with an additional sixth room currently arranged as a single bedroom, ideal for use as a home office or study.
A standout feature is the first-floor balcony, which enjoys elevated views across Torrs Park, providing a peaceful and private space to unwind.
Externally, the rear garden is a true highlight, enjoying a sunny south-facing aspect and arranged over two well-maintained, level tiers.
Both levels are laid to lawn, ideal for families and entertaining, complemented by a stone patio seating area and garden shed.
The space is enclosed by a combination of stone walling and mature planting, with the added benefit of side access leading back to the front of the property.
Ideally positioned, the property is within easy reach of Ilfracombe’s picturesque harbour, seafront and the South West Coast Path, as well as local amenities, schools and transport links connecting to Barnstaple and beyond.

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.
