Light-filled, ground-floor two-bedroom apartment set within a handsome Victorian building in Torrs Park, a short walk from Ilfracombe High Street and the seafront. The flat is self-contained with its own entrance, a fitted kitchen, modern bathroom, and gas central heating — ready for immediate occupation with no onward chain. Communal gardens and a large shared car park provide outside space and parking for residents.
This leasehold apartment suits a retiring buyer, first-time purchaser or investor seeking a manageable property in a popular coastal town. The building has a long lease (original 999-year term) and a small ground rent; the appointed management company administers communal maintenance and insurance. The flat’s traditional features — high ceilings and large windows — give a spacious, airy feel despite modest overall size (829 sq ft).
Buyers should note several important constraints: the property lies in a high flood-risk zone and sits in an area classed as very deprived, which may affect insurance and resale. Service charge and communal rules are significant: service charge approximately £1,800pa, ground rent £50pa, no short-term holiday lets permitted and management restrictions on tenants with children under 11; dogs are not allowed. The building’s solid brick construction (circa 1900–1929) likely lacks wall insulation, so energy efficiency improvements may be desirable.
Overall, this apartment offers immediate coastal living in a characterful building with manageable running costs for someone comfortable with leasehold terms and communal rules. It represents good value for a retirement or first-time purchase, and provides decent rental potential if letting conditions are met.
