Elevated above Ilfracombe Harbour, this four-bedroom mid-terrace delivers exceptional sea views on every level and proven holiday-let income. The open-plan ground floor with bay-window dining, log burner and fitted kitchen creates an attractive let or family living space that guests will pay to enjoy. A south-facing two-tier courtyard provides a private sun trap, enhancing rental appeal and summertime comfort.
Internally the house is finished to a high standard with two modern bathrooms and flexible room layouts — a dual-aspect principal room currently used as a lounge but easily reinstated as a master bedroom. Sold freehold and chain-free, the property is ready to continue as a holiday let or to reconfigure for longer-term rental or owner-occupation.
There are important, factual considerations: the building dates from before 1900 with solid brick walls and assumed no cavity insulation, so buyers should expect potential heat-loss and higher energy costs. Double glazing is present but install date is unknown. The area records above-average crime and is described locally as having constrained rental aspiration and higher deprivation; these factors affect long-term tenant demand and resale positioning.
For an investor, this is a rare coastal letting opportunity with immediate income and strong seasonal demand. For a purchaser seeking a home, the position and flexible layout offer coastal living with scope for energy-performance improvements. Survey and measured-energy upgrades are recommended to address insulation and running costs.
