About the host

Hosted by Fiona

Host profile image
We moved from Bristol to Ilfracombe 18years ago and love all that it has to offer. We have two children. I am a ceramicist and sell my work throughout the uk. My partner is a carpenter and has designed, built and renovated many houses. We bought the Cube in 2020 as a semi derelict property and have completed an extension and total renovation.

Why they chose this property

We bought the Cube because of its detached and elevated position set in its own garden. This means that it is quiet has lots of wildlife and great views whilst benefitting from being near to town, countryside and beaches. It is a sunny haven.

What makes this property unique

The Cube sits on a west facing bank and has sun all day. The outside spaces are real sun traps. It has far reaching views across the tors and the valley. Open the bi fold doors off he dining room and enjoy a peaceful breakfast with bird song on the front terrace. Or watch the sun go down.
