This versatile property, previously utilized as a guest house, restaurant, and more recently a freehold establishment with residential features, presents an exciting opportunity for renovation and investment. Vacant and requiring modernization, the space is ripe for redevelopment. Recent planning permission allows for transforming the bar and restaurant area into two separate residential apartments, each comprising two bedrooms and private outdoor spaces. An alternative option could involve converting the entire structure into one large family home through a fresh application to the local authority.
The building spans three floors, with commercial facilities on the ground level featuring a sizable dining area for patrons along with necessary service areas including a commercial kitchen. Above, the residential section contains three bedrooms—two ensuite—and ample living space that includes a lounge with coastal views. The total area of approximately 319 m² offers significant scope to reconfigure the layout to suit modern living standards.
The exterior boasts amenity spaces such as courtyards and balconies along with an expansive but overgrown garden that slopes away from the property. Additionally, there’s a detached office/store at the rear which adds further potential for varied usage.
Located in Hele, near Ilfracombe and within close reach of beaches and local amenities, this property benefits from high visibility due to its position on a main road frequented by tourists and locals alike. All essential services are available, making it suitable for both residential and commercial endeavors in this popular area.
