Set over three floors and just a stone’s throw from Ilfracombe harbour, this two-bedroom end-terrace mixes period character with contemporary fittings. Exposed beams, a compact open-plan kitchen-diner and a small front seating area give the house strong holiday-let appeal and attractive tenant/visitor experience. At about 693 sq ft, the layout is efficient for short-term rental or a pied-à-terre.
The property is currently a successful holiday let and benefits from its central seaside position close to shops, cafes, the harbour and transport links. Mains gas central heating and an apparently well-maintained modern kitchen reduce immediate refurbishment costs. There is no identified flood risk, and proximity to local amenities supports letting year-round.
Buyers should note material constraints: the house dates from before 1900 with granite walls that are likely uninsulated, and descriptions mention damp or general wear — further inspection recommended. Tenure is unknown and council tax banding is not provided, which may affect borrowing or running costs. On-street parking only and the wider area records above-average crime and higher local deprivation; these factors can influence long-term capital growth and some tenant markets.
This property suits an investor or buy-to-let buyer seeking a seaside holiday-let or a purchaser prepared to carry out targeted upgrades (insulation, any damp remediation and cosmetic work) to enhance income and capital value. Its central location and character features give clear letting strengths, while the age, maintenance needs and local socio-economic indicators are important practical considerations.
