About this property

9 Oceanside is a third-floor, sea facing, penthouse apartment just a short walk to the harbour and town's amenities in the bustling resort of Ilfracombe on Devon's north coast. For families and friends seeking a holiday beside the sea, you won't find many closer than this. Perched on the top floor of the Oceanside apartments in Capstone Crescent, you are greeted with magnificent views of the ocean that stretch for miles out over the English Channel. This property is a bright and contemporary apartment with an open-plan living space with a glossy white kitchen and breakfast bar for dining. An open tread, staircase leads to a useful mezzanine with TV and additional seating and desk. Two bedrooms are attractively presented, including a master double ensuite and a twin room. Step through patio doors onto an impressively long balcony furnished with patio seating, a perfect spot for enjoying a sundowner at the end of the day. Ilfracombe, once a Victorian seaside resort, retains many of its historic influences in its grand architecture, and is now a vibrant destination with a fine variety of shops, cafes, and restaurants to sample. There are five beaches in the town, including the famous Tunnels Beach, hand carved through the cliff face where bathing in the shallow waters and rock pooling make it an ideal spot for families with children. Day trips to The Big Sheep and Combe Martin Wildlife Park are within a short drive. The vast stretches of golden sands can be found at nearby Woolacombe, and the coast path is on your doorstep to explore the magnificent coastline on foot. Take a trip up the cliff railway at Lynton and Lynmouth where the spectacular scenery is best enjoyed from the top with coffee and a slice of cake from the cliff top café. The property is also within reach of the incredible scenery of the Exmoor National Park, a fantastic location for birdwatching, hiking, and mountain biking. For seaside holiday for families or couples, 9 Oceanside is the ideal choice.

The bustling seaside town of Ilfracombe lies on a beautiful stretch of North Devon coastline, with five beaches, much of it owned by the National Trust.

Ilfracombe's heritage harbour and quay are spectacular, with many pubs, shops and restaurants and frequent live music, creating a lively, friendly atmosphere. From here, take a wildlife cruise, a fishing trip or a boat trip to magical Lundy Island, a place of natural beauty, which will provide you with an unforgettable experience. Ilfracombe is the centre for some of the finest walking country in England. Whether you enjoy a gentle promenade walk around Capstone Hill, tackling the rugged coastal path or prefer the river valleys and tranquillity of the moorland hills of Exmoor, you will find the scenery spectacular. Ilfracombe also boasts a number of high-quality eateries, with local fish being prominent on their menus. To the east of Ilfracombe are the unique villages of Lynton and Lynmouth with its clifftop railway, and to the west lie the delights of Clovelly and Hartland. Moreover just a short drive away is the 3 mile long golden beach of Woolacombe Bay, which was been voted one of the top 20 beaches in the world, the perfect place to relax in the sun or catch some waves surfing.
