About this property
Boutique 8 bed Villa with indoor heated pool,
The Elmfield was built in the late Victorian period for a wealthy mineral water merchant. The house has been converted to provide 8 en suite boutique style bedrooms, complemented by spacious communal areas, a very large semi commercial kitchen and lovely gardens. In the house the large lounge with large TV, bar and dining room are all adjacent to each other - offering a lovely flow between the spaces for friends and family to get together. Just off the lounge is a games area with table football and a card table. The dining room is elegant and well lit, and the tables and chairs are flexible to seat up to 20 guests all together. Next to the dining room is the little cocktail/snug bar complete with glasses, shakers, fridges and recipe books. The large garden is arranged over 4 levels, the top level and gazebo level offer spectacular views over the valley, the middle level is where the private covered swimming pool is located, and on the lower level where the babbling Wilder brook provides the boundary is our cosy fire-pit - perfect for star gazing and marshmallow toasting. Within the grounds we have private off street car parking for 10 cars. The Elmfield is in the Torrs Park area of Ilfracombe, which sits overlooking the town. A couple of minutes from the house and you can be on the South West Coastal path, with simply breath taking views accross to Lundy Island and the Welsh coast. A short walk along the coast path will bring you to Lee, where the you can find a beautiful bay and a great pub. Walking to town takes about 10 minutes downhill, and Ilfracombe boasts some fabulous pubs, bars & restaurants. A few minutes further and you will find yourself at Ilfracombe's picturesque Harbour, here you can while away an afternoon watching the nautical world come and go, or stroll down to where Damian Hirsts impressive Verity can be admired. For experienced and novice anglers - there are plenty of sea fishing opportunities. If you prefer to just take in the beautiful North Devon coastline one of our sightseeing tours will be only too happy to oblige. Ilfracombes famous attraction Tunnel beach is only a few minutes walk from the house, here the rock pooling and family facilities really are excellent. There is also the beautiful Tunnels beach wedding venue, if you are coming to a wedding at the tunnels then our house is a great value option for a group of friends or family. If you are looking for activities we are just a short drive away from the world class beaches of Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton. Here you can surf, kite surf, paddle board, body board or just take a dip in the Ocean. Coasteering is a wonderfully exhilarating day activity. Exmoor is just on our doorstep where you can find some truly stunning scenery. We're very happy to advise or help you organise all manner of day and evening activities and entertainments.
