Seaside property Ilfracombe (United Kingdom)

11 The Quay is somewhat of a landmark building in Ilfracombe being a very attractive and substantial property situated in one of the town's most sought after locations sitting immediately adjacent to the picturesque harbour in a mixed parade of shops, restaurants and bars leading down towards the pier. The property enjoys wonderful views over the inner harbour towards Hillsborough and from the rear over the Bristol Channel and rugged coastline towards Wales in the distance. The property was completely renovated and restored in recent times by previous owner and world renowned artist, Damien Hirst, who re-opened what was once the White Hart Inn as a high quality Bistro/Bar and Restaurant. Further improvements have been made by the current owner to completely transform the upper floors of the building to form fabulous living accommodation which is beautifully appointed and refurbished to a very high standard presented as a very spacious 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom residence together with the most stunning main living room which is an impressive 36ft long and with a superb vaulted ceiling which is designed to look like an upturned ship’s hull. Plenty of light floods the room through the sea facing gabled end which comprises an expanse of floor to ceiling glass which beautifully frames the stunning views from the rear over the Bristol Channel and towards the distant Welsh coastline. Double doors provide access to a sea facing terrace. Within the living room is a mezzanine level dining area which is a another feature of the property, adding to its unique design and layout. 11 The Quay could suit a variety of purposes and is great for an owner/occupier to live and run the business from within. Alternatively the commercial and residential areas of the building could be let separately providing the owner with an excellent annual income. At present, the ground floor commercial area is let on a 5 year lease at an annual rent of £24,000. This area is being run as a successful cafe business. The upper floors which comprise the residential accommodation, is currently used as a very successful high-quality holiday let. Both areas of the property have been separated from one another and allow for independent use by different operators giving greater flexibility as to the use of the building. The services have been split and there is a very tastefully designed and instaled glazed and oak partition on the first floor which screens the two areas from one another. However, the property could easily be used by an owner occupier and opened up to interconnect if needed. The location is truly outstanding with very few opportunities to buy a mixed commercial/residential property sitting immediately adjacent to the harbour ever being available. The property is right in amongst the various shops, restaurants, wine bars and public houses, cafes and art galleries within the sea front area. Damien Hirst's Verity statute stands prominently on Ilfracombe pier and has been the catalyst for a great number of visitors to the town in recent years. The high street with its further selection of small independent shops and amenities is again just a short distance away and there are schools for all ages as well as Tesco, Lidl and Co-Op Supermarkets. There is always something to see on a day to day basis as the harbour forms one of Ilfracombe’s main attractions and is the area from which the town built its foundations as a working fishing port and hub for importing coal back in the early Victorian era and then latterly becoming a thriving tourist resort thereafter. The sea front area in particular has seen huge investment in recent years. There is a constant stream of boats in and out of the harbour, both those out for pleasure and leisure pursuits as well as fishing boats and charter vessels. North Devon has a huge amount to offer with the fabulous golden sand surfing beaches at Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton just a short car ride away. The Exmoor National Park is also within easy reach and enjoys some breath-taking scenery and miles and miles of walking. North Devon’s main trading centre, Barnstaple, is approximately 12 miles away and has many of the big name shops. There is also a rail link to Exeter which then connects directly to the major stations in London. The main A361 North Devon Link road also connects from Barnstaple and joins the M5 at junction 27. THE GROUND FLOOR The ground floor of the premises amounts to approximately 97m2 (1,041ft2) and is the main 'commercial' area of the property. The current use is as a cafe business. We understand the planning use class is defined as E (Commercial, Business and Service). At the front of house there is a large serving area, approximately 22ft x 18ft, which has full height glazing and retractable sliding doors open onto the harbour side frontage. There are Ladies and Gents WC's for use by patrons of the cafe. The counter area offers a further 17ft x 12ft. Beyond the counter is a food preparation room with a range of commercial grade appliances and work surfaces further on again is a kitchen/washing area with further stainless-steel commercial equipment including a dishwasher, sinks and fridges. At the very rear there is a walk-in cold room. ** Please note, the commercial appliances are not included in the sale but are available by separate negotiation if required. As mentioned above, this area is let on a 5 year commercial lease at an annual rent of £24,000, thus providing the new owner of the building with a very handy ready-made income. THE FIRST FLOOR The upper floors of the building are laid out as living accommodation and could be occupied permanently if required. However, at present this area of the building is being used as a high-quality holiday let. The beautifully appointed accommodation throughout has been tastefully and expertly refurbished in recent years. On the half landing there are further Ladies and Gents WC's. The first floor amounts to 138m90ft2)2 (1,4 and has very impressive rooms across the level. The heart of the home is the fabulous and extremely impressive living room located at the rear of the building and as described earlier with its superb shapely vaulted ceiling, hardwood floor and its perfectly framed far reaching views over the Bristol Channel. The mezzanine dining area provides a further unique feature to this striking and exquisite space. There is a modern and well equipped kitchen which has an extensive range of fitted units and is inclusive of integrated appliances such as two ovens, an induction hob with an extractor canopy over, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. The hallway has an attractive oak floor and leads out to the front of the building where there are two generous sized bedrooms on this floor, both of which have two pairs of French doors which open as Juliet balconies and which offer delightful views over the inner harbour and moored boats and across to the town and around to Hillsborough which shelters the bay. Bedroom 1 has a fireplace feature with a decorative surround and mantle over. The large en suite bathroom is beautifully appointed and spacious having a bath as well as a separate walk-in shower cubicle and contemporary tiling. Bedroom 1 is set up as a double room whilst bedroom 2 is arranged with two single beds. The principal bathroom is another spacious facility which is well equipped and again has modern sanity ware which includes a bath and a separate walk-in shower. THE SECOND FLOOR The attractive staircase with its ornate spindle balustrade continues up to the second floor. There are two further large bedrooms with the space exaggerated further by high beamed vaulted ceilings in both rooms. As with the bedrooms on the floor below, two pairs of French doors in each room forms Juliet balconies and again enjoys the ever changing harbour side views. There are period features throughout the property and in bedroom 3 there is an ornamental cast iron fireplace with a marble surround and mantle over. This floor amounts to 38m2 (404ft2). The furniture in the apartment is not included in the sale but is available by separate negotiation. OUTSIDE At roadside, we understand there is an area at the front of the building where chairs and tables can be set. This would provide some outdoor seating for those using the cafe, for example. At the rear of the building and leading from the main and impressive living room, there is a sea facing terrace which has space for tables and chairs and which enjoys far reaching views over the Bristol Channel taking in Capstone and Lantern Hill, the Bristol Channel and across to the distant Welsh coastline. Parking permits are available from North Devon District Council for the Cheyne Beach Car Park that sits to the rear of the property. SERVICES All mains services are connected to the building. The services have been split to provide independent supplies to the ground floor and upper floor areas. Both units have individual electricity supplies and it is just the upper floor unit that has a gas supply. There is one water supply to the building but that is sub-metered accordingly. The property benefits from two parking permits for the Cheyne Beach Car Park, located close to the apartment. The permits are issued by Ilfracombe Council and allow registration of two vehicle number plates. The current cost for the permits is approximately £360 per year. For owners operating holiday lets, vehicle registration details can be amended weekly if required, with a £25 + VAT administration fee payable to the council for number plate changes. COUNCIL TAX The property is subject to non-domestic rates with the ground floor having a rateable value of £6,600 and the first and second floor with a rateable value of £5,800. Both areas of the property would qualify for the Government’s Small Business Rate Relief scheme which currently runs at 100% relief. (Please check your own personal circumstances to see if you would qualify.

Seaside house with garden and terrace Tenby (United Kingdom)

THE DAK – A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY Some properties are defined entirely by the home that stands there today; others are defined by something far more difficult to find: an exceptional position, an extraordinary outlook and the potential to create something truly special. The Dak falls firmly into the latter category, presenting a rare opportunity for a discerning private buyer, architect or developer to acquire a remarkable coastal site where the setting itself is undoubtedly its greatest asset. Occupying an extraordinary position on the Pembrokeshire coastline, The Dak enjoys a relationship with the sea and surrounding landscape that is increasingly difficult to find. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path passes directly through the grounds, while private steps lead down towards a secluded beach below. Extensive outside space surrounds the property, combining areas of lawn with more natural grounds that have been allowed to blend into the coastal landscape, while behind the house, largely hidden beneath established vegetation, are terraces rising towards the boundary. The existing residence has a fascinating and unconventional history stretching back more than a century. Originally constructed during the 1920s using part of an Army surplus hut brought from Carew, elements of that earliest structure can still be identified within the property today. The other half once stood further up near what is now the surfers’ car park at the top of the drive, forming a property known as Tranquility, which disappeared many years ago. Over the decades, The Dak has evolved organically, with various additions and alterations reflecting the different chapters of its life. An external balcony was incorporated into the internal structure, the cellar became part of the developing accommodation and successive owners adapted the building according to the way it was being used at the time. A collection of historic photographs and postcards documents this transition through the years, creating a wonderful visual record of how this unusual coastal property has changed and grown. Hospitality has long formed part of The Dak’s story. Previous owners operated the property as both a café and holiday destination, and when the current family acquired it in 1987, the café continued trading until 1992. The cellar has even had an unexpected commercial chapter, having once housed a loudspeaker business, while one end of the property was successfully used as separate holiday accommodation for many years. Its configuration may therefore offer future potential for a purchaser wishing to explore a similar use once again, subject to any necessary consents and requirements. The Dak’s dramatic setting has also attracted the attention of the film and television industry. The film Basil, starring Christian Slater, was partly filmed locally, with the property used as a working base for the film crew. It was later considered as a potential location for The Pembrokeshire Murders, further illustrating the cinematic quality of a setting shaped by the sea, landscape, weather and changing coastal light. Yet it is perhaps everyday life at The Dak that best explains what makes this location so special. With the Pembrokeshire Coast Path passing through the grounds, generations of walkers have brought interesting encounters and conversations over the years, while the private steps towards the beach create a connection with the coastline that few properties can offer. The grounds themselves change beautifully with the seasons. In late spring and early summer, the scent of honeysuckle fills the evening air, while established New Zealand flax produces striking orange flowers that appear almost to glow against the backdrop of a coastal sunset. The flax also serves a practical purpose, forming a substantial natural windbreak that provides considerable shelter from the Atlantic weather. Despite the drama of its coastal position, The Dak often feels surprisingly protected, even when conditions higher within the village are considerably more exposed. When the weather changes, the character of the setting changes with it. Storms can be watched from the comfort of the house as the sea transforms below, while the steps towards the beach provide a dramatic vantage point from which to experience immense waves rolling towards the shoreline. On calmer days, the same landscape takes on an entirely different character, reinforcing the sense that the outlook here is never static but constantly evolving with the seasons, tides, weather and light. One of the greatest privileges of living at The Dak is the constant connection with the wildlife that calls this remarkable stretch of coastline home. Dolphins and porpoises are frequent visitors offshore, while Atlantic grey seals are regularly seen below the property. On occasion, seal pups have even rested on the secluded beach beneath the cliffs, creating unforgettable moments for those fortunate enough to witness them. Above, gannets dive spectacularly into the sea in search of fish, joined by a wealth of coastal birdlife that changes throughout the seasons. The ever present sound of the waves provides a wonderfully calming backdrop to daily life. Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee, watching the sun set across the bay or simply sitting in the garden listening to the rhythm of the sea, there is a sense of peace and tranquillity here that is difficult to describe and impossible to recreate elsewhere. Today, the existing property would benefit from significant investment and modernisation. For one buyer, the opportunity may be to comprehensively renovate and reimagine The Dak, retaining the history and individuality that have developed here over more than a century while adapting the accommodation for modern coastal living. For another buyer, architect or developer, the possibilities could be considerably more ambitious. Subject to obtaining all necessary planning permissions and consents, there may be an opportunity to explore a more substantial redevelopment of the site and potentially create an exceptional new residence designed specifically around the qualities of its setting. What makes that prospect so compelling is that almost everything about a property can be changed, but its position cannot. Buildings can be altered, layouts redesigned and architecture completely transformed; an outlook and relationship with the coastline of this calibre simply cannot be recreated. A thoughtfully conceived new home could place the landscape at the heart of its architecture, with expansive glazing framing the coastal panorama, generous open plan living spaces positioned to maximise natural light and terraces creating a seamless connection between inside and out. Whether the vision is for a striking contemporary residence or a more traditional architectural design sympathetic to its surroundings, the setting provides the opportunity to create a home of genuine distinction. For a developer, The Dak presents the rarity of an established residential site where location, history and future potential come together in an exceptional way. For a private buyer, it offers something equally compelling: the chance to secure an irreplaceable coastal position and create a deeply personal home designed around one of Pembrokeshire’s most remarkable natural settings. This is therefore not simply a sale centred around the house as it currently stands. The existing building represents more than a century of history, from its beginnings as part of an Army surplus hut in the 1920s, through its café and holiday accommodation years, its unusual commercial ventures, film connections and almost four decades in the same family. The next chapter presents an entirely new opportunity. For those prepared to bring imagination, investment and vision, The Dak offers something increasingly rare: not simply a property, but an irreplaceable piece of the Pembrokeshire coastline. Its history, extensive grounds, private access towards the secluded beach and extraordinary relationship with the sea create an opportunity that cannot be replicated. The next owner will not simply inherit a home; they will become the custodian of one of Pembrokeshire’s most remarkable coastal settings, with the chance to create something truly exceptional for generations to come. A home created not merely to occupy this remarkable landscape, but to celebrate it.

SELLERS INSIGHT “What first captivated us was the sense of tranquillity. From the moment you enter the property, the sea becomes a constant, calming presence. Whether we were hosting family gatherings on the terrace or enjoying a quiet morning coffee looking out over the water, the house always felt connected to its surroundings. One of the greatest advantages of living here has been the balance it offers between accessibility and peacefulness. The connection to the wider world is excellent – transport links are straightforward, making it easy to get around for work or travel – yet returning home always feels like arriving at a private haven. It has allowed us to maintain busy lives while having a sanctuary that encourages us to slow down and recharge. The local area has also been a joy. Wellswood is close by, offering a charming collection of bars, cafés, and independent shops, giving the neighbourhood a vibrant, village-like feel. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the landscape is endlessly rewarding. The scenery is always changing with the light and seasons, offering a new perspective every day. There is a wonderful selection of beaches and coves to explore; Ansteys Cove is less than a mile away, and there are countless coastal paths and secluded spots to discover on foot. The South West Coast Path is literally on the doorstep, providing some of the most beautiful walking routes imaginable. The views have remained one of the greatest pleasures of living at Reflections. Looking out across Lyme Bay is extraordinary, especially when contrasted with the rolling green hills that frame the coastline. It is a rare combination of sea, sky, and countryside that continues to impress, no matter how long you live here. Reflections has given us a lifestyle defined by calm, beauty, and connection – both to nature and to the conveniences around us. It has been a privilege to call this place home.” STEP INSIDE A statement entrance hall, finished with refined wooden flooring that continues seamlessly throughout the principal levels of the home, introduces the contemporary elegance of Reflections. The moment you step inside, your eye is immediately drawn to the dramatic floor-to-ceiling window and impressive ceiling heights. The hallway flows effortlessly into the primary living spaces. A generous utility room offers practical convenience, featuring extensive worktops, plentiful storage, and full washing facilities discreetly arranged for ease of use. The main living room is a bright, open space designed for both relaxation and refined entertaining. A feature working fireplace anchors the room with warmth and character, while a large patio door opens directly onto the terrace, reinforcing the home’s connection between inside and out. The living room leads fluidly into an inviting snug, perfect for quieter moments, which includes its own French door opening onto the terrace. The kitchen and dining suite provides an impressive centrepiece for family living. The open-plan configuration ensures an easy flow between cooking, dining, and socialising, while a central island incorporates an integrated double oven, hob and generous workspace. Black granite worktops contrast elegantly with crisp white cabinetry, and there is ample space for a large fridge/freezer and an integrated dishwasher. Together, these features create a sophisticated and functional culinary environment. Descending to the lower levels, a half landing provides access to a side patio – an ideal spot for a moment of calm or a sheltered seating area. On the lower ground floor, a hallway opens through French doors to a further private garden. This level offers five double bedrooms and three bathrooms.   A spacious double bedroom benefits from its own French doors to the garden, making it a peaceful and self-contained retreat. Adjacent sits a beautifully appointed bathroom, featuring marble flooring, a corner shower unit, a bath, and a WaterVue TV, delivering a spa-like experience. A further double bedroom enjoys two large windows overlooking the Bay, filling the room with natural light and framing the coastal views. An additional double bedroom has views over the Bay and an en-suite with a corner shower. Beyond this lies a flexible arrangement consisting of two more double bedrooms connected by a shared reception area. Both bedrooms open through French doors onto a shared terrace, inviting the outdoors into the space. The principal room has an en-suite bathroom which is striking, equipped with a freestanding bath, separate shower, and contemporary grey tiling. A generous walk-in dressing room completes this suite, offering both luxury and practicality. The final double bedroom completes the accommodation, distinguished by a large window capturing wide-reaching views alongside the French doors previously mentioned, ensuring the theme of light, space, and coastal connection resonates throughout the entire home. STEP OUTSIDE The exterior setting has been conceived to complement the property’s modern coastal aesthetic. Generous terraces flow seamlessly from the principal living spaces, creating natural vantage points from which to enjoy the sweep of the bay. Morning sun, dramatic sunsets, and the soft rhythm of the shoreline all form part of the daily backdrop. In addition to the two terraces, landscaped gardens frame the architecture with simplicity and elegance, offering various pockets of privacy and calm.  The side patio accessed from the half landing has a covered built in BBQ and bar plus a sunken hot tub and leads to a tiered lawn. The walled garden accessed from the lower ground floor hallway has been designed as a peaceful, low maintenance Oasis with artificial lawn distinguished by a raised bed and an attractive feature tree. A door leads into the external utility room. To the bottom of the garden is a Summerhouse, which could be used as a home office or gym. A private driveway and garaging, ensures both convenience and discretion. Every aspect of the grounds has been curated to enhance the home’s relationship with its remarkable maritime setting.
