Norbury House is an exceptional period property located in one of the most prestigious and sought after location of Ilfracombe, offering breathtaking views over the town and out to the sea. This impressive residence is set in an elevated position, surrounded by scenic beauty, with the National Trust-owned Torrs and the South West Coastal Path nearby. Ilfracombe town centre and its historic harbour are within easy walking distance, making it the perfect balance of peaceful seclusion and convenient access to local amenities. The award-winning Landmark Theatre, with its iconic double conical roof, is also a short distance away.
This rare and outstanding detached property, dating back to 1850, was originally the home of a sea captain and retains much of its original charm. With its spacious, well-proportioned rooms, high ceilings, and panelled doors, Norbury House showcases the grandeur typical of the era. The current owners have undertaken an extensive renovation, preserving the property’s character while updating it with modern conveniences, including a new kitchen, full re-wiring, partial roof replacement, and beautifully landscaped gardens.
The property offers versatile accommodation spread across three floors, including six en-suite bedrooms, four reception rooms, and the potential for self-contained living space. The ground floor features a one-bedroom accommodation currently used as a bed and breakfast unit, but this could easily serve as a private office or additional living space. Norbury House has proven to be a successful bed and breakfast, with the option to continue as a business, or alternatively, it could be a magnificent family or multi-generational home.
The property is approached by a sweeping stone-pillared driveway, which offers ample parking space for up to five vehicles. To the front, there is a charming seating area, perfect for outdoor dining while enjoying views of the town and sea. The tiered rear garden wraps around the property, providing stunning views and peaceful areas for relaxation. The gardens feature flat lawns, seating areas, mature trees, and ornamental shrubs, and a private additional driveway at the top of the garden leads to a timber garage, with space for another three vehicles or even a motorhome or boat.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a magnificent home in a prime location, with the flexibility for various uses. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the size, quality, and potential of Norbury House.
Accompanied viewings strictly by appointment with the agent.
