Victorian four-bed cottage moments from Ilfracombe harbour — character, courtyard, and rental potential.
Four bedrooms across three light-filled floors, one currently used as a study
Sunny rear courtyard with large wooden workshop/storage shed
Open-plan kitchen/dining with Rangemaster cooker and pantry
Gas central heating; boiler reportedly renewed and warrantied (as listed)
Single family bathroom plus separate upper WC — limited facilities for four beds
Built before 1900 with solid brick walls; likely no wall insulation
Small overall size (~914 sq ft) — rooms comfortable, not large
Area shows above-average crime and high local deprivation — consider location risks
Set just moments from Ilfracombe’s harbour, this Victorian mid-terrace cottage blends period charm with practical living over three light-filled floors. Original features such as tall ceilings and a bay window give character, while double glazing and gas central heating offer everyday comfort. The property is presented well and works equally as a family home or a holiday-let income opportunity.
The ground floor is arranged around an open-plan kitchen/living/dining space with a range cooker, solid pine worktops, integrated fridge and plumbing for a dishwasher. Double-glazed doors open onto a sunny rear courtyard and a large workshop/storage shed — useful for bikes, surf kit or landlord storage. A separate utility area houses the mains-gas boiler (renewed and with warranty as stated in the listing).
Accommodation includes four bedrooms (one used as a study), a modern bathroom on the half landing and an additional WC on the upper landing. At about 914 sq ft, rooms are comfortably proportioned rather than expansive; the layout provides flexibility for families, guests or renters but there is only one full bathroom.
Known negatives are factual and important: the house is a small terraced property built before 1900 with assumed solid brick walls and no known cavity insulation, so heating costs may be higher than modern builds. The area classification notes higher local deprivation and above-average crime levels, which may affect family buyers or rental demand. EPC rating is C. Viewings recommended to assess space and condition in person.
