12 Highfield Terrace is a newly renovated five-bedroom Victorian semi-detached home in Ilfracombe, presented with period features, tall ceilings and far-reaching sea views across the Bristol Channel. The accommodation spans three storeys with flexible bedroom layouts, a modern kitchen, wet room on the ground floor and a family bathroom upstairs — well suited to multi-generational use or adaptable retirement living.
The property is being marketed with the Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease as an option for buyers aged 60+, which can reduce the upfront cost (typical savings 20–50%; example Lifetime Lease guide price shown as £237,750). The full market price is £355,000; the actual Lifetime Lease price varies by age, circumstances and the share purchased. If you are under 60 you may buy at full market price.
Practical points: the house has UPVc double glazing (installed pre-2002), mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and private off-street parking to the rear for one or two cars. The rear garden is low-maintenance with a lawned upper tier and an outbuilding that could be a home office, gym or annexe subject to planning. Council Tax band C and EPC rating E.
Notable negatives are stated plainly: the tenure/ownership details must be verified (not provided here), the property sits on a small plot, external walls are older granite without assumed insulation, glazing predates 2002 and the EPC is E — further energy improvements may be needed. The local area is classified as deprived and some buyers may want to verify local services and long-term running costs before committing.
