Built in 1890 as a holiday home for an Admiral and his family, Panorama still maintains many impressive original features, but has been brought up to date with a colourful and contemporary colour scheme. With outstanding views, pretty gardens, log fires, an AGA, and a sea view terrace, the house combines a stunning setting with a fusion of the retro contemporary and characterful features.

Inside

• Style: 60's and 70's fashion, contemporary and colourful. Enjoy the architectural salvage pieces throughout the house.
• Bedrooms: There are seven bedrooms at the property. Four first floor bedrooms - 2 king size doubles (one en suite), a twin and a single room share a family bathroom. On the second floor two double bedrooms (one with a sea view) share a family bathroom with bath and shower; there’s also a king size en suite bedroom (sea views)
• For relaxation: The sitting room-cum-dining room and library is a fantastic 34 ft long room with windows and French doors out onto the sea view terrace. Original open fireplce.. The detached vine room – a large Victorian conservatory with grape vines and a nectarine tree is a great place to relax, French doors onto a terrace with outside table to seat 14.
• For recreation: Don your walking boots and take to the coast path, alternatively recline on the terrace with a nice bottle of wine
• Practicalities: There’s a laundry room with butlers sink, washing machine & tumble drier. Hooks for coats. Loads of room for boots and shoes. In addition to the AGA there is a 4 ring gas hob and also a microwave.

Outside

From the ‘secret’ garden – a secluded, pretty and level garden surrounded by shrubs and flowers, ideal for hiding away with a book to the great views that are to be enjoyed from the front terrace - perfect for a BBQ. There's also a raised decked area with rustic bench style seating, small lawn and a children's playhouse. The back garden, with large sloping /terraced area (children to be supervised) backs with direct access onto the South West Coastal path and to the secret beaches at the back of the house. There's ample parking for three cars.

Food and Wine

• DIY: Taken on a self-catered basis, get creative in the generous kitchen complete with AGA. French doors lead out to the kitchen terrace, where a plethora of fresh herbs can be found, a great spot for al fresco dining.
• In-house cuisine: If you don't want to cook, choose from homecooked delicacies for you to heat yourself, or in-house catering. Think freshly caught local lobster, homemade beef Wellington, delicious cakes and roulades - delicious.
• Eating out: From beach bars to coffee shops, you’re spoilt for choice in the local area. No 11 The Quay - Damien Hirst's highly acclaimed restaurant overlooks Ilfracombe Harbour. Worth a visit for the wonderful building and artwork alone and just a 15 min walk from the house and great for evening tapas.

Out and About

• Head to the beach: There are so many stunning beaches to choose from – Woolacombe Beach (3 miles of golden sand, and a great surfing beach) is just 10 minutes from the house, there is direct beach access a short distance from the back of the house (via steep steps) which you'll probably have all to yourself. Alternatively, there's a beach at the end of the road with a Victorian bathing pool carved out of the rocks.
• Golf: Saunton Sands Golf Club is widely regarded as one of the top links courses in the country; it follows the dramatic UNESCO protected Burrows site along the shoreline. Ilfracombe Golf Club – a beautiful course set into the hills with magnificent views out to sea
• For little ones: There’s the dinosaur park just 15 mins from the property, Ilfracombe Aquarium - during peak season there is often a classic old merry go round near the Landmark, a kids ‘train’ down to the harbour from here, and a horse drawn carriage from the harbour up to the landmark – and Cascades indoor pool not far from the property

Make your break even more memorable when you hire a classic car
