This top-floor three-bedroom maisonette occupies two generous levels and delivers striking coastal living moments from Ilfracombe Harbour and the High Street. The property’s standout assets are a private balcony with sea views and a rare rooftop sun terrace offering panoramic vistas across the town and coastline — ideal for entertaining or quiet coastal mornings.
Internally the layout is traditional and roomy: three double bedrooms, two contemporary bathrooms, a separate dining room and a spacious living room. Modern comforts include gas central heating, double glazing (installed 2002+) and an owned off-street parking space in a private car park opposite the building. The long lease (977 years remaining) and share-of-freehold tenure reduce long-term ownership uncertainty.
Buyers should note some material considerations. The building is an older, solid-brick Victorian terrace with assumed no cavity insulation in the walls, so heating bills and insulation upgrades should be considered. Maintenance of the block is shared between flats; there is no fixed monthly service charge but a 2/5ths contribution to communal bills and costs as they arise. The local area rates as very deprived and has above-average crime levels — factors to weigh for families or those seeking quiet neighbourhoods.
Overall this chain-free maisonette suits buyers seeking a spacious seaside home with excellent views and rare outdoor space in Ilfracombe. It offers clear renovation and improvement potential for energy upgrades, while providing immediate coastal lifestyle benefits and flexible ownership under a long lease.
