Set high above Ilfracombe Harbour, this five‑bedroom detached house delivers uninterrupted panoramic coastal views and proven holiday‑let performance. Spacious reception rooms, multiple ensuite bathrooms and three levels of sun terraces — including a Finnish BBQ lodge — create a luxury visitor experience that has produced strong annual rental returns. Chain‑free sale and double garage add practical appeal for holiday operators or owner‑occupiers with boats.
The layout balances communal living and private sleeping quarters: large open‑plan kitchen/dining, separate living rooms with bay windows and French doors to expansive decking, plus six modern bathrooms across three floors. The property is versatile — equally suited as a high‑earning holiday business or a substantial family home in a premier harbourside location within easy walking distance of shops, galleries and the harbour.
Buyers should note some material considerations. The house was built circa 1900–1929 with solid brick walls and no known cavity insulation, so thermal upgrades may be needed. The local area shows high deprivation indicators and recorded crime is above average, factors that can affect long‑term local demand and running costs. Broadband speeds are average despite excellent mobile signal.
For an investor, the headline strengths are the spectacular views, established high‑end bookings and immediate income potential. For a purchaser seeking a permanent residence, the property offers rare coastal living and generous outdoor entertaining space but will benefit from targeted refurbishment and energy‑efficiency improvements to optimise comfort and running costs.
