This first-floor, two-bedroom flat occupies a cliffside position in Ilfracombe and offers arguably the town’s best uninterrupted sea views. The open-plan kitchen/lounge/diner opens onto a private balcony, making the most of the outlook and natural light from large UPVC double-glazed windows and French doors.
At about 521 sq ft the accommodation is compact but well arranged, with two double bedrooms, a bathroom with a double shower and the boiler housed in the bathroom. The property has an EPC rating of C and is heated by a mains gas boiler and radiators. Constructed before 1900 with granite walls (assumed uninsulated), it combines seaside character with practical, modern fittings.
Important practical points: the flat is leasehold, sits within a communal retirement classification and a local area described as constrained renters; the area has above-average crime statistics and is assessed as very deprived. These factors affect resale and lettability and should be weighed by investors or buyers seeking long-term capital growth.
This property will suit first-time buyers or those seeking a compact second home who prioritise spectacular coastal views and proximity to Ilfracombe harbour and amenities. It also has potential as a holiday-let investment, though buyers should review the lease terms, service charges and local demand carefully given the area profile.
