On the north-west coast of Devon, near Ilfracombe and Braunton, lies the tiny seaside village of Woolacombe. Its glorious, sandy beach curves like a scimitar to Putsborough, three miles to the south. Gently sloping, the beach has Blue Flag status and a Premier Seaside Beach award for its cleanliness, quality of water and facilities. The South West Coast Path runs through the village and leads to Morte Point, a wonderful place to sit and watch the sun set.
If you are looking for houses for sale in Woolacombe there is a good mix of period and modern. In the centre of the village are traditional terraced cottages surrounded by larger properties built over the last 100 years, often with spectacular views of the sea. Beyond the village centre there are detached houses and bungalows, offering three or four bedrooms; architect-designed new-build townhouses, and a few stunning mansions with up to seven bedrooms.
If you are looking for flats for sale in Woolacombe they are usually found in large, converted seaside villas and purpose-built apartment houses.
Please contact Woolacombe estate agents for details of flats currently available and for all cottages and houses.
