Property of The Month
ULTIMATE HARBOURSIDE
An extremely rare opportunity to stay in this famous one-of-a-kind landmark building cannot be missed.
Renovated and restored by previous owner and world-renowned artist Damien Hirst, who’s 66-foot sculpture "Verity" stands prominently on Ilfracombe pier, is situated just a stone’s throw away.
The colossal waves of the channel crashing over the rocks and sea wall are showcased from the large 36ft long lounge with its awe-inspiring vaulted ceiling designed to look like an upturned ship’s hull.
Beautifully designed, immaculate, and situated in a prime location within walking distance to Tunnels Beaches wedding venue.
Ultimate Harbourside is directly on Ilfracombe's Quay and with its own private entrance. The views are unrivalled given the front of the property overlooks the picturesque harbour, and the rear offers panoramic views over the channel and rugged coastline towards Wales in the distance.
