We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Occupying an attractive position in the popular Hele area of Ilfracombe, 10 Hillside Road is a beautifully improved and well-presented two-bedroom end-of-terrace home, offering a wonderful combination of character, modern living and far-reaching countryside views across the picturesque Chambercombe Valley.
Having undergone considerable improvements, the property now boasts a superb open-plan living space, charming original features and a thoughtfully landscaped, multi-tiered garden, making it an ideal first-time purchase, coastal retreat or investment opportunity.
The accommodation is arranged over three floors and benefits from gas central heating and uPVC double glazing throughout.
Upon entering the property, a welcoming entrance porch leads into the hallway, providing access to both the first floor and lower ground floor.
A particular highlight of the home is the impressive open-plan living/dining area, which has been transformed through the removal of the original dividing wall to create a wonderfully spacious, light and sociable environment.
The room beautifully combines contemporary living with traditional character, featuring an attractive exposed stone wall and fireplace which creates a charming focal point, whilst enjoying delightful countryside views through its attractive bay window.
A bespoke timber window seat, incorporating useful built-in storage, provides the perfect place to sit, relax and admire the outlook across the Chambercombe Valley.
The lower ground floor offers additional versatility and practicality, incorporating the modern fitted kitchen with a useful W.C. with direct access to the rear garden.
On the first floor are two well-proportioned bedrooms, with the principal bedroom enjoying particularly impressive views across the surrounding countryside and Chambercombe Valley.
The accommodation is completed by a modern family bathroom fitted with a white suite, including a bath with shower over, wash hand basin and WC.
Externally, the property continues to impress with its thoughtfully redesigned rear garden, which has been landscaped across several tiers to create a variety of practical and enjoyable outdoor spaces.
An attractive patio provides an ideal setting for alfresco dining, summer barbecues or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
A delightful summerhouse, complete with a secure, lockable uPVC door, offers excellent potential as a relaxing garden retreat, hobby room or additional storage space.
At the bottom of the garden, a particularly useful covered storage area benefits from its own door providing direct access onto Watermouth Road, making it ideal for securely housing motorcycles, kayaks, bicycles and other outdoor equipment.
Unrestricted on-road parking is available along Hillside Road, with further parking opportunities on Watermouth Road to the rear.
Applicants are advised to proceed from our offices in an easterly direction along the High Street. Follow the road into Portland Street and continue up the hill passing the former Cliffe Hydro Hotel.
Pass through the traffic lights and continue along this road for approximately a quarter of a mile passing the Old Thatched Inn and the swimming baths.
Continue over the brow of the hill and take the first left onto Hillside road where the property will be found on your right hand side at the end of the terrace.
