Company info

The unique building is an 'Italianate' style circular property that also comes with a separate, detached quirky cottage. Located right next to the Cairn Nature Reserve - a historic woodland area - there are dozens of walking trails on the doorstep - if you can drag yourself away, that is. It's also within a healthy walking distance of the beach, The South West Coast Path and Ilfracombe town centre. Constructed from stone and Marland brick, the five-bedroom property is approached by a sweeping drive, surrounded by colourful, landscaped gardens, which have been a frequent winner of ‘Ilfracombe in Bloom’. Inside, the house is dripping with architectural features, including twin turrets which flank the main entrance, ornate plaster ceilings, original Arts and Crafts fireplaces and gothic-style arched doors and wood-panelled walls. The front door opens into a turreted entrance with an ornate gilded patterned plastered ceiling and herringbone parquet flooring leading towards the drawing room. This features a bowed picture window with a window seat below, so you can gaze out at the hypnotic sea views. The dining room, too, boasts a large bow window along with an open fireplace and enough marble to rival the Vatican. The ground floor also contains a breakfast room, kitchen, laundry room, and cloakroom. Upstairs, the five bedrooms command enviable views. However, the real jewel in the crown is the spectacular rotunda room, featuring a circular wall of double-glazed windows, four painted wooden pillar supports and a door opening onto a roof terrace and sun deck. Perfect for admiring the panoramic views across the Bristol Channel and out towards Wales in the distance.

Property info

A truly unique holiday home surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens. True to its name, The Round House is a unique and grand holiday home offering distinctive features, beautiful furnishings, and wonderful views over the town and out towards the Bristol Channel. Ideal for an enjoyable break with family or friends. It dates back to 1910, when a local builder was challenged to construct a circular property. Sadly, he died before completion, but his son took over, and their legacy is one of North Devon's most striking and unusual homes.
