A compact, characterful 2-bedroom terraced cottage tucked in Albert Court, just minutes from Ilfracombe Harbour and the High Street. Exposed beams, a stone fireplace and original features create a cosy coastal retreat for someone seeking character and proximity to amenities.
The house is arranged over three floors and totals about 557 sq ft, so it suits downsizers who prioritise location and charm over spacious rooms. Practical updates include a new roof within five years and a modern combi boiler under three years old. The property is offered chain free and can be purchased through Homewise’s Home for Life Lifetime Lease (guide price £100,500) or at the full market price (£150,000); the final Lifetime Lease cost depends on age and personal circumstances.
Important practical points: the plot and overall size are very small, and the multi-storey layout means several staircases — not ideal for limited mobility. The local area is classed as very deprived with above-average crime, and some services (mobile and broadband) are only average. Prospective buyers must verify tenure/lease details and any works/consents with their solicitor before exchange.
This is a niche opportunity for an over-60s buyer using the Home for Life plan or for someone wanting a low-maintenance, character cottage in walking distance of Ilfracombe’s harbour and local facilities. Expect cosy rooms, period charm and a need to accept a compact living footprint.
