Summary - 22 FORE STREET ILFRACOMBE EX34 9DJ
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Move-in ready coastal retreat just yards from the sea.
Freehold terraced cottage, offered chain free
Set just 200 yards from Ilfracombe’s picturesque harbour, this compact freehold terraced cottage offers an affordable coastal foothold for a first-time buyer or a weekend bolt‑hole. The house is arranged over three floors, with a ground-floor open-plan living/kitchen and two upper bedrooms, and it comes to market with no onward chain for a straightforward move.
Period features give the property real character: exposed beams, a fireplace with a wood‑burning stove, sash/dormer-style windows and attractive granite walls. The top floor provides elevated rooftop views across Capstone Hill and the harbour, a seasonal outlook that adds genuine coastal appeal.
Practical considerations: internal space is modest, with sloping ceilings to the top floor and relatively low ground-floor headroom. There is no external garden or allocated parking. Reported information indicates all main services except gas — buyers should verify supply and connections. The building appears to pre-date 1900 and the stone walls are assumed uninsulated, so thermal upgrades and general modernisation may be required.
This is a competitively priced freehold house in a central, historic location and suits someone seeking a low-maintenance town-centre home or holiday let with scope to improve energy performance. Note local area indicators: higher-than-average crime and levels of deprivation in the wider area; these factors should be weighed alongside the property’s obvious location and character advantages.
