Large 11-bedroom listed hotel with views — investment or conversion potential.
Grade II listed Victorian property with sea and town views
A substantial Grade II listed Victorian property sitting on an elevated plot with sea and town views, currently configured as an 11-bedroom wellness hotel across multiple floors. Recent refurbishment has refreshed many interiors while retaining period character, giving immediate operational potential as a guest house, boutique hotel or large shared residence.Suitable for investors or operators seeking a coastal hospitality asset, the accommodation includes nine en-suites, multiple reception rooms, a gymnasium (lower ground), six balconies and generous communal spaces. The large plot, enclosed garden and off-street parking add practical value and flexibility for continued hospitality use or conversion subject to consent.Important constraints are factual: the listed status will complicate alterations and extensions, and the property sits in a high flood-risk zone — insurance and resilience measures will affect operating costs. The area records high deprivation levels locally, which can influence staffing, guest demand patterns and local support services.Although much has been updated, the fabric includes traditional uninsulated stone walls and certain maintenance and improvement needs may remain. Potential purchasers should allow time for listed-building consents, flood-risk mitigation planning and checks on operating licences. For the right buyer, Merlin Court offers rare scale, strong coastal location and versatile accommodation in Ilfracombe, with clear scope to generate income or create a distinctive residential conversion once statutory consents are secured.
