Summary - 10 HILLSBOROUGH PARK ROAD ILFRACOMBE EX34 9QR
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious four-bedroom home with planning permission for a second detached dwelling—ideal for retirement or development..
Elevated position with wide rear-facing views
This spacious four-bedroom detached home sits in an elevated, peaceful position on Hillsborough Park Road, offering wide rear-facing views and a large sloping garden. The house provides well-proportioned living rooms, a kitchen/diner with access to a deck, principal bedroom with en-suite and walk-in wardrobe, plus a garage currently used as a utility. Gas central heating and uPVC double glazing are installed throughout.
A standout feature is full planning permission to build a separate modern detached dwelling in the rear garden, with vehicle access requiring reconfiguration of the existing ground floor (removal of kitchen, WC and garage/utility). This makes the plot attractive to multi-generational buyers, developers, or those seeking rental or holiday-let income. There is substantial storage beneath the house and multiple outdoor terraces.
Important practical points: the property is marketed as suitable for over-60s via the Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease option — typical savings range and a guide Lifetime Lease price are provided but the actual price depends on age and circumstances. The property can also be bought at the full market price. Tenure details are unknown and should be verified by solicitors.
Notable drawbacks: the home is multi-storey with stairs between levels which may be unsuitable for limited mobility. The large sloping garden will require ongoing maintenance. Broadband speeds are described as slow. The approved development involves removing key ground-floor rooms, so pursuing that option reduces living space during conversion and will require investment to complete.
