Summary - ADELES CAFE, 8 BROAD STREET ILFRACOMBE EX34 9EE
3 bed 1 bath Cafe
Trading fit-out, licence and long-lease store included minutes from the beach.
Return-fronted Grade II listed harbourside building, approx. 40m from beach
Situated on Broad Street just 40 metres from Ilfracombe’s harbourside, this return-fronted Grade II listed building combines a street-level café and a three-bedroom flat above. The ground floor is fitted as a 36-cover daytime café with open kitchen, takeaway servery and a current premises licence — appealing for a new operator or to convert to another catering concept. A separately titled lock-up store (999-year lease) opposite provides valuable freezer and dry storage.
The upper parts are well maintained and offer compact, dual-aspect accommodation across three floors: kitchen/diner, lounge, utility, bathroom and three bedrooms (one en-suite). Many rooms enjoy side sea and harbour views, making the flat attractive for holiday lets or owner-occupation. The property has a combi boiler recently replaced (2025) and a detailed inventory of trade fixtures and fittings is included in the sale.
Important considerations are factual and material: the building is Grade II listed, which may restrict alterations and will affect consent and maintenance obligations. The site sits in a high flood risk zone and the wider area records above-average crime and significant deprivation, both relevant for insurance and operational planning. The commercial footprint is compact and there is no private garden; parking is limited (a nearby car parking space is available by separate transfer at c. £360 pa).
Offered as a freehold with the long lease on the store, this property suits an investor or hands-on operator seeking a central coastal business with residential accommodation above. It provides immediate trading potential from day one but will require due diligence on listed-building constraints, flood mitigation and local market seasonality.
