Summary - Ilfracombe, Devon EX34 8BX
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, light-filled apartment with steady rental potential near Ilfracombe harbour.
Views overlooking Torrs Park and leafy communal garden
Light-filled one-bedroom flat on Brookfield Place, offering compact, well-presented living ideal for a first step on the ladder or a buy-to-let addition. Large windows and high ceilings in parts of this Victorian building create an airy feel despite a modest overall footprint.
Practical positives include a generously sized reception room, an efficiently designed kitchen and a double bedroom with an en suite. The property benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating, a very long remaining lease and a communal garden. Projected rental income is approx. £550 pcm for investors.
Buyers should be aware of material negatives: the property is small (339 sq ft / studio-style layout), has an EPC rating of D and sits in a high flood-risk area. The building’s original granite walls are likely uninsulated, and the wider neighbourhood shows high deprivation and above-average crime levels—factors that will affect living comfort and some buyer perceptions.
Overall, this is a practical, well-located option for someone prioritising coastal proximity, transport links and rental potential over expansive internal space. The combination of low council tax, below-average service charge and long lease make it an easy-to-own property, but planning for flood mitigation and possible insulation or energy improvements is advisable.
