Central Ilfracombe spot with courtyard and strong renovation upside for a bespoke coastal home.
Five bedrooms across three floors, flexible room layouts
Set over three floors, 3 Northfield Terrace is a five-bedroom mid-terrace with genuine scope for improvement and value uplift. Its central Ilfracombe location puts shops, schools and the seafront within easy walking distance, ideal for a family wanting town convenience or an investor targeting lettings close to amenities.
The ground floor offers a bright lounge with a character fireplace and low-maintenance flooring, plus a separate dining room with built-in storage and a second fireplace. A compact kitchen opens onto a private rear courtyard with an outside WC, useful for bikes, beach kit, or a small garden. A recently installed modern wet room serves the main living levels.
The house needs full modernisation throughout: there is no central heating system present, the original granite walls are uninsulated, and several internal areas will require updating. Double glazing has been installed post-2002, and the property is freehold with a relatively low council tax banding — factors that help control running costs while you renovate.
This property suits buyers who want to refurbish and personalise a period home—either a growing family prepared to undertake works or a hands-on investor seeking rental income or a resale margin. Be prepared for structural-era considerations and refurbishment costs; the location and five-bedroom layout provide flexibility and strong potential once modernised.
