Description
Chilworth House is a four-bedroom detached property on the edge of Woolacombe, around two miles from the seafront and village amenities. The accommodation includes an entrance porch, kitchen and dining area, two reception rooms and a ground-floor cloakroom. Upstairs are four bedrooms and a family bathroom, with the main bedroom described as having distant sea and nearby countryside views.

The property is described as requiring modernisation throughout, with scope for improvement or development subject to the necessary consents. An early internal inspection is advised.

Confidence: MEDIUM
Chilworth House has the makings of a substantial family-home project: four bedrooms, two reception rooms, generous level gardens, ample driveway parking and a double garage, on the edge of Woolacombe. The photographed interiors are usable but dated, giving scope to refresh the finishes and modernise the kitchen and bathroom; the gardens and coastal-village setting add to the appeal.
The main drawback is the price. At £375,000, the asking price is around 18% above the local £/sqf average, and adding the £7,000–£16,000 refurbishment range leaves the purchase-plus-works cost stretched against local benchmarks for this floor area. That comparison is with current local averages, not a forecast of the value after renovation. The visible ceiling discolouration or damage also merits checking, though its cause is not apparent from the photos.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated interior finishes across the photographed living areas and bedrooms.
- Modernise the usable kitchen and bathroom as part of a light refurbishment.
- Make the most of the level gardens, generous driveway and double garage in a coastal-village setting.
Key risks
- The asking price plus the £7,000–£16,000 works range appears high against local benchmarks for a home of this floor area, leaving limited room before any post-renovation value is considered.
- Check the discoloured or damaged ceiling finish and establish its cause.
