Set on a Victorian stone-fronted terrace just a short walk from Ilfracombe Harbour and High Street, this ground-floor two-bedroom maisonette is a clear project for buyers with renovation experience or investor developers seeking uplift. The property retains period character such as a bay window and high ceilings on the street-facing side, and includes an open-plan living/kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom and a small private rear garden.
The maisonette requires a complete renovation throughout: works likely include full redecoration, kitchen and bathroom replacement, electrical and heating modernisation and treatment of visible damp/mould. External walls are granite/whinstone with no assumed insulation, so installing insulation and improving glazing or heating efficiency would be sensible parts of a renovation budget.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (963 years remaining), mains gas central heating currently via boiler and radiators, double glazing (install date unknown) and a modest annual service charge (£960). The location close to shops, cafés, schools and the harbour is a major value driver for a restored unit in this coastal town.
Buyers should be realistic about the budget and skills required: the property is offered as a renovation project in a neighbourhood classified as having hampered aspiration and higher deprivation. While the terrace and bay-window features give strong potential for sympathetic restoration and resale or let, any purchaser must allow for repair costs and remedial works to address damp and modernise services.
