An elegant Grade II listed Georgian house in central Ilfracombe, set within walking distance of the harbour and coastal walks. The double-fronted home retains high ceilings, original sash windows and marble fireplaces, offering generous rooms across four bedrooms and substantial outbuildings. A private walled garden, double and single garages and a versatile room above the garages add practical space for hobbies or a home office.
This property is offered with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease option for buyers aged 60+, typically reducing the purchase cost versus full market value (indicative Lifetime Lease guide price £318,250; full market value £475,000). The plan allows buyers to buy a share (up to 50%) of the property value; exact price depends on age and personal circumstances. If you are considering this option, use the Homewise calculator or request a personalised quote.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed, so alterations will be restricted and require consent. Flood risk is recorded as high for the location. The property has one bathroom and may benefit from modernisation in places; tenure details are not confirmed and should be verified by your solicitor. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and very low local crime contribute to comfortable, connected living.
This is a spacious, character-rich home suited to buyers seeking a central coastal residence with scope to tailor spaces. The combination of historic features, sizable ancillary accommodation and an enclosed garden will appeal to those wanting period charm with room for hobbies or remote working, but bear in mind listed status and flood risk when planning changes or insurance.
