Summary - Oxford Grove, Ilfracombe, EX34 EX34 9HQ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Minutes from Ilfracombe High Street, ideal for first-time buyers or a seaside retreat..
Panoramic sea and hill views from the living room
A bright first-floor apartment with panoramic sea and hill views, set just moments from Ilfracombe High Street and the harbour. The living room benefits from large double-glazed windows and laminate flooring, making it an inviting social space with room for a small dining area. The generous double bedroom includes built-in storage and two windows for natural light. The fitted kitchen has integrated gas hob and electric oven plus space for appliances; the shower room is modern with a heated towel rail.
Practical details work in its favour: a very long lease (968 years remaining), a below-average service charge of £45 per month (approx. £540 per year) covering building insurance and communal repairs, gas central heating, no flood risk and excellent mobile reception. At 564 sq ft the apartment is an average-sized one-bedroom suited to first-time buyers or someone seeking a low-maintenance seaside second home.
Be aware of material local issues: the area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime rates and a high proportion of constrained renters, which may affect long-term rental demand and resale perception. The building dates from c.1900–1929 with granite walls likely lacking insulation, so energy efficiency may be limited and future insulation work could be needed. Broadband speeds are average. Overall this is a well-presented, long-lease flat in a prime town-centre spot, offering immediate move-in potential but with some local social and fabric considerations to weigh up.
