Chain free end of terrace Victorian stone house
Set in the heart of Ilfracombe, this stone-fronted end-of-terrace offers ready-to-live-in space across two floors, presented with UPVC double glazing and gas central heating. A bright 22ft lounge-diner and compact modern kitchen open onto a private L-shaped courtyard, while two double bedrooms and a shower room lead to a useful roof terrace — a handy outdoor spot for morning coffee or evening air. The property is freehold and offered chain free, making it straightforward for a first-time buyer to move quickly.
The house has genuine period charm in its Victorian façade and bay window, and practical benefits including integrated kitchen appliances, on-street parking nearby and very low council tax. Broadband speeds are average but mobile signal is excellent — useful for remote working or staying connected. The location places you within easy walking distance of the High Street, harbour, beaches and local amenities, with several well-regarded primary schools close by.
There are some material considerations to note. The property sits in an area with higher-than-average crime and significant local deprivation classifications; buyers should factor this into resale and rental expectations. The stone-built walls are historic and likely lack modern cavity insulation, so the house may feel cooler and could benefit from improved wall insulation or other energy upgrades. Plot and garden space are small, and parking is unrestricted on-street rather than private garaging.
Overall this is a straightforward, well-presented Victorian home suited to first-time buyers or downsizers seeking a compact seaside base with immediate occupation possible. It offers character, convenience and a low-cost council tax band, but buyers should budget for potential energy-efficiency improvements and be mindful of local area indicators when assessing long-term value.
