Summary - SURFSIDE BOROUGH ROAD COMBE MARTIN ILFRACOMBE EX34 0DQ
5 bed 2 bath Terraced
Seafront Victorian end-terrace with shop, sea views and renovation potential..
Five bedrooms across three floors, versatile residential layout
Set just yards from Combe Martin’s sandy beach, this substantial Victorian end-terrace combines ground-floor commercial space with spacious five-bedroom residential accommodation above. The layout includes a shop with storage and an open-plan kitchen/dining area, a generous first-floor lounge and two bedrooms, plus three further bedrooms and a shower room on the upper floor — offering immediate trading potential or straightforward conversion to sole residential use.
The property offers sea views from the first-floor terrace and an enclosed courtyard-style garden, giving desirable outdoor space in a small plot. Constructed before 1900 in granite, the house has period character and bay windows but also practical limitations: electric storage heating, assumed uninsulated stone walls, and double glazing of unknown age. These factors, together with the need to modernise some areas, should be factored into running costs and any renovation budget.
Important practical considerations: the site lies in a high flood risk area and the building presents cold-climate running characteristics unless thermal upgrades are undertaken. Council tax is low and local crime is very low. This home suits investors seeking mixed-use income or buyers wanting a coastal family home with scope for improvement — buyers should assess flood mitigation and retrofit costs before purchase.
