West Challacombe Lane, Combe Martin, Ilfracombe, Devon EX34

Set in a peaceful and elevated position on the desirable West Challacombe Lane, Hawthorn is a spacious and versatile detached four-bedroom property, offering well-proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors. Located in the heart of the popular North Devon coastal village of Combe Martin, the property enjoys a quiet yet convenient location, close to the beach, local amenities, and the stunning countryside of Exmoor National Park.

This substantial home benefits from private off-road parking for up to three vehicles, a generous rear garden, and two balconies—perfect for enjoying the surrounding views and fresh sea air. While Hawthorn has been lovingly maintained over the years, it would now benefit from a degree of modernisation, providing a fantastic opportunity for buyers to personalise and add value.

On the ground floor, you are welcomed into a bright and functional kitchen/breakfast room, offering ample space for everyday family life.

A staircase from the utility area gives access down to the lower ground floor, enhancing the flow and functionality of the home.

The first floor features three generous double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, along with a second lounge/snug that also opens onto its own private balcony.

The lower ground floor comprises a wide and versatile hallway leading to the fourth double bedroom, which enjoys a quieter position to the rear of the property and would work well as a guest suite, home office, or creative studio. There are also three large storage rooms on this level, offering excellent potential for workshop space, hobby areas, or conversion (subject to any necessary consents).

Externally, Hawthorn boasts a delightful rear garden, complete with a paved patio area—perfect for al fresco dining—and a flat lawn bordered by mature planting, creating a private and peaceful outdoor space.

In all, Hawthorn presents a rare opportunity to acquire a generously sized and adaptable family home in a sought-after coastal location. Its spacious layout, elevated position, and scope for improvement make it an exciting prospect for those looking to create a forever home or a stylish coastal retreat within one of North Devon’s most scenic and well-connected villages.
