A well-presented two-bedroom Victorian cottage tucked quietly just yards from Ilfracombe High Street. Exposed beams, a feature fireplace and bay window give the living space character, while gas central heating and double glazing provide everyday comfort.
The layout is straightforward: living room with stairs to the first floor, kitchen/diner with Worcester boiler, ground-floor shower room and two good-sized bedrooms above. A fully enclosed rear courtyard offers private outdoor space and room for al-fresco dining; unrestricted on-street parking is nearby and permit parking is available locally.
Practical buyers will value the exceptionally long lease (remainder of a 2,000-year lease started 1866) and low council tax. Note the property is small overall and constructed of uninsulated granite/whinstone (insulation likely required to improve thermal performance). Broadband speeds are average; mobile signal is excellent.
This cottage suits first-time buyers or those seeking a characterful pied-à-terre close to shops, harbour and beaches. Be aware the local area scores high for deprivation and has above-average crime statistics — factor this into viewing and insurance decisions.
