Description
This four-bedroom detached house occupies an elevated position overlooking Ilfracombe harbour and the sea. The accommodation is arranged over two floors, with four bedrooms, a utility room and a shower room on the ground floor. Upstairs are a lounge, kitchen/snug with an oil-fired Rayburn, a dining room with a fireplace, a four-piece bathroom and an open landing with access to the garden and patio. The property is offered with no onward chain and is described as requiring modernisation, providing scope for a buyer to update the accommodation to suit their needs.
Outside, the plot includes a roof terrace, a tiered rear garden with a summer house and decking, a low-maintenance front garden, off-road parking and a single garage with power and an electric door. There is also an additional parking space secured by a bollard. Ilfracombe’s shops, restaurants, galleries, seafront and harbour are nearby, with North Devon beaches and surfing locations in the wider area.

49out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a substantial coastal project with a distinctive starting point: a spacious detached four-bedroom home, panoramic harbour and sea views, a roof terrace, garage and a large tiered garden. The photographed interiors are strongly dated and the listing calls for full modernisation, giving a buyer scope to reshape the finishes and create a more cohesive home around those views. The freestanding bath and Rayburn add character worth considering in any redesign.
The score is held back by the heavy project and incomplete value evidence. Floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged; the headline price alone is not enough to call it cheap or dear. The steep garden and aged-looking timber features also merit inspection, while the roof is weathered in appearance but cannot be assessed closely from the photographs.
Key opportunities
- Rework the spacious interiors and dated finishes into a coherent coastal home, making the harbour and sea outlooks a central feature.
- The roof terrace, garage, parking and large tiered garden give the property a distinctive mix of indoor and outdoor potential.
- Retain or reinterpret character features such as the Rayburn, fireplace and freestanding bath as part of a considered modernisation.
Key risks
- Strongly dated finishes across several photographed rooms point to a heavy, multi-room programme; plan for a full interior transformation rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- The steep garden, paths, steps and aged-looking timber decking or structures need condition checks and may require maintenance or repair.
- The tiled roof looks weathered from a distance, but the photographs do not allow a close assessment of its condition.
