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.

It’s only when you get to see the other side you get to appreciate the magic of what the elevated position gives. It’s not just a view , it’s a whole landscape…ranging over the Blackdown Hills, the Wellington Monument in the distance, across the end of the valley and west out to glimpses of Exmoor. And such big skies! Both inside and out, we have created spaces where we can sit and enjoy glimpses of the views, landscaping the garden in particular to be able to choose spots to follow the sun, and watch stunning sunsets. And, of course, the view ever changes with the seasons. Plenty of places for calm and quiet working or dreaming, but also great entertaining space. Having family and friends over for barbeques or pizza nights on the deck overlooking the pool, or, on colder nights, all together in the big kitchen for tray-bakes, followed by gathering in cosy rooms around the fires…and on warm summer evenings the big skies turn to dark skies, no light pollution, so plenty of stargazing, competing to find the constellations… Services Shared septic tank for all of the properties Mains water and electricity Oil fired central heating Broadband is currently sourced via Starlink.

Property with pool and garden Whitland (United Kingdom)

A Vineyard. A Home. A Business. A Completely Different Way of Life. There are properties that offer a change of address, and then there are properties that offer the opportunity to change the way you live entirely. Set amongst just under eight acres of beautiful West Wales countryside, close to the Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire border, this is one of those rare places where home, landscape and opportunity come together. At its heart is an established, award-winning vineyard. Rows of mature vines sweep through the grounds, surrounded by open lawns, mature trees, a pond and wonderful countryside views. Yet the vineyard is only one chapter of what has been created here. Over the years, this former drovers farm has evolved into an established destination, bringing together boutique guest accommodation, dining, private events and wine production while retaining the atmosphere and character of a rural Welsh home. For its next owners, the possibilities are considerable. It could continue as an established hospitality business. It could evolve further as an exclusive wedding and events venue, a vineyard retreat, a wellness destination or a collection of luxury holiday stays. Equally, someone may simply fall in love with the land, reclaim more of the accommodation as their own and create an extraordinary private country home with carefully selected income streams alongside it. That flexibility is perhaps its greatest luxury. Life Amongst the Vines Arriving at the property immediately gives a sense of space and escape. Three separate access points serve different areas of the estate, allowing the private, guest and commercial elements to operate independently when required. The gravelled driveway meanders through the grounds, passing mature planting, sweeping lawns and the pond before the vineyard itself becomes increasingly prominent. Beyond are paddocks and open countryside, giving the entire property a wonderful feeling of being immersed within the landscape. There are numerous places to simply stop and enjoy it. Morning coffee overlooking the vines. Long summer lunches outside. Guests wandering through the grounds before dinner. A glass of wine produced from grapes grown only metres away. An evening spent entertaining friends as the light disappears across the surrounding countryside. It is easy to understand why this setting has worked so naturally as a hospitality destination. The Main House The substantial principal house has evolved to accommodate both private living and guest accommodation, but importantly, its layout remains wonderfully adaptable. The current arrangement provides generous owners’ accommodation alongside a collection of individually presented en-suite guest rooms, with the configuration allowing future owners to determine exactly how much of the property they wish to retain privately. The owners’ accommodation centres around a generous open-plan kitchen and living space, where bespoke oak cabinetry, oak worktops, a Belfast sink and professional-style cooking range sit alongside a dining area and comfortable seating arranged around a character fireplace with multifuel stove. It feels warm and informal — somewhere designed for everyday life rather than simply presentation. A separate study provides another particularly versatile room. Currently suited to working from home, its generous proportions and direct garden access would allow it to become an additional reception room or bedroom if required. There are also substantial utility and laundry facilities, particularly valuable given the scale of the existing accommodation business. Upstairs, the principal bedroom becomes something altogether more indulgent. Triple-aspect windows capture views across the surrounding countryside, while the open en-suite incorporates twin basins, a walk-in shower and a striking freestanding brass bath. It is an impressive private retreat within what is otherwise a remarkably hardworking and versatile property. Boutique Guest Accommodation Throughout the main house is a collection of individually arranged en-suite bedrooms, including the Lilac, Lavender, Willow and Holly rooms together with the Garden Suite and further bedroom accommodation. Rather than feeling institutional, the rooms retain the proportions and personality of a country house. Bay windows, countryside views, individual bathrooms and character details give each room its own identity, while the Garden Suite enjoys independent access and views towards the vineyard. The existing configuration lends itself naturally to boutique accommodation, yet the clever connection between the private and guest areas means additional bedrooms could readily be incorporated back into the principal residence. A future owner could therefore determine exactly where home ends and business begins. This flexibility is particularly valuable. For one buyer, the extensive guest accommodation may be central to their plans; for another, the attraction may be creating a considerably larger family home while retaining only a handful of premium guest suites. The Restaurant, Bar & Events Building Across the courtyard, a substantial converted stone building introduces another dimension entirely. This characterful building currently accommodates the restaurant, bar and events operation and is filled with the architectural details one hopes to discover in a converted rural building — exposed stone walls, substantial beams, oak flooring and generous entertaining spaces. The bar provides an inviting starting point, with its bespoke oak bar and relaxed seating creating a warm environment for guests to gather. From here, the restaurant offers an intimate dining setting, complemented by a substantial commercial kitchen and associated preparation, chiller and storage facilities. Beyond it, the larger events space is particularly impressive. Exposed stone, oak framing and a multifuel stove create a wonderfully atmospheric room capable of hosting celebrations, dinners and private events, with doors opening towards the outside entertaining areas. A further first-floor function area and mezzanine provide additional flexible space, allowing larger events to flow naturally through the building while also creating more intimate areas for private dining and smaller gatherings. Together, these spaces give the estate the infrastructure to host guests for far more than an overnight stay. They can sleep here, dine here, celebrate here and experience the vineyard itself. The Grain Store Accessed independently via an original slate staircase, the Grain Store provides another beautiful en-suite bedroom suite. Exposed stonework, oak flooring and substantial exposed beams create an entirely different atmosphere from the accommodation within the main house. A generous bedroom is accompanied by an impressive bathroom with freestanding slipper bath and separate walk-in shower. Its independent position makes it particularly well suited to premium guest accommodation while further demonstrating the variety of spaces found throughout the estate. The Vineyard And then there are the vines. An established vineyard is not something one expects to discover with a country property in West Wales, and it gives this estate an identity that cannot simply be recreated. The mature vineyard has produced award-winning wines from grapes grown on the estate, creating both another potential income stream and an experience around which the wider hospitality offering can be built. Guests have been able to explore the vineyard, discover the wine-making process and experience tastings of wines produced from the very vines surrounding them. For someone passionate about wine, hospitality or experiential tourism, it presents an exceptional platform from which to build. For somebody with entirely different ambitions, it is simply a beautiful and unusual landscape to call their own. Either way, there is something rather special about looking from your home across rows of your own vines. Outdoor Entertaining The relationship between the buildings and their grounds is another significant part of the property’s appeal. Numerous private seating areas are positioned throughout the estate, allowing both owners and guests to find their own spaces within the grounds. Adjacent to the events building is an extensive deck and external bar, creating a natural continuation of the indoor entertaining areas during warmer months. A substantial stretch tent, measuring approximately 15m x 10.5m, has also been professionally installed, providing another impressive setting for celebrations and events. Open to the gardens during fine weather or capable of becoming a more enclosed function space, it adds yet another dimension to the hospitality possibilities available here. Almost Eight Acres to Explore The grounds extend to just under eight acres, arranged around the principal buildings and providing an impressive balance between landscaped gardens, productive vineyard and more traditional rural land. Alongside the vines are extensive lawns, mature gardens, established trees and numerous seating and entertaining areas. A pond creates an attractive focal point within the grounds, while a separate paddock provides useful grazing and would naturally appeal to buyers with equestrian or smallholding interests. There is also a stable block providing two large stables together with tack/storage space and an adjoining log store, as well as a polytunnel. For someone dreaming of combining hospitality with horses, growing produce, smallholding life or simply enjoying their own acreage, the possibilities extend well beyond the existing business. Further Potential Despite everything that has already been established, there remains considerable scope for the next owners to make their own mark. Planning permission is understood to be in place for three static caravans, creating the potential for an additional accommodation offering. There is also scope within the existing buildings to explore further guest accommodation, while the paddock and wider grounds may offer possibilities for further tourism or leisure uses, subject of course to any necessary planning permissions and consents. Potential vineyard stays, glamping, retreats, wellness experiences, weddings, corporate events and expanded private dining are just some of the directions a future owner may wish to explore. The important distinction is that this is not simply a property where somebody needs to start from scratch. Much of the infrastructure is already here. A Proven Business — With Room to Become Something More Unlike purchasing a country property and then attempting to create a viable enterprise around it, this remarkable estate already has an established history as a successful hospitality and lifestyle business. The vendors advise that the business achieved a turnover of £352,535 in 2025, generated through its complementary accommodation, hospitality, events and vineyard activities. Yet the figures tell only part of the story. What makes the opportunity particularly compelling is the way each element works alongside the next. The accommodation supports the events. The events complement the restaurant and bar. The restaurant enhances the guest experience. And the vineyard gives the entire estate an identity and story that is incredibly difficult to replicate. Rather than relying upon one single income stream, the property provides several complementary elements that a future owner could continue, expand or reshape around their own skills and ambitions. For the next owner, there is the opportunity to continue what has already been created, develop individual elements further, or completely reimagine the estate around their own vision. Rural, Yet Remarkably Connected For all the sense of escape, the property is far from isolated. Whitland is approximately five minutes away, providing everyday amenities, schooling, a railway station and excellent access to the A40. The larger centres of Carmarthen and Haverfordwest are both readily accessible, while the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and some of West Wales’ most celebrated coastline, beaches, restaurants and destinations can be reached with ease. Rail connections from Whitland provide links towards Pembrokeshire, Carmarthen, Cardiff and beyond, while the strategic road network makes the estate surprisingly accessible for guests travelling from further afield. That combination is particularly valuable for a property operating within hospitality and tourism — visitors can experience the tranquillity of rural West Wales without feeling disconnected from everything around them. The Opportunity What makes this estate exceptional is not simply the number of bedrooms, the acreage, the restaurant or even the vineyard. It is the life that could be created here. Imagine waking up and walking through your own vines before breakfast. Hosting a private dinner that evening using produce sourced from across West Wales. Welcoming guests for a weekend celebration. Creating intimate vineyard stays or destination weddings. Keeping horses in the paddock. Developing a food and wine experience centred around the land. Or simply closing the gates at the end of the day, pouring a glass of your own wine and enjoying almost eight acres as your private country retreat. Few properties allow home, lifestyle and business to coexist so naturally — and fewer still provide so many different directions in which their next chapter could be taken. For someone looking for more than simply a house in the country, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a remarkable home, an established destination and an entirely new way of life.
