Description

This four-bedroom Edwardian detached house is set in an elevated position close to Combe Martin Bay, with sea views from many rooms. The substantial accommodation includes several reception rooms and period details, and is described as liveable while offering scope for a purchaser to update it to their own requirements. The property is offered with no onward chain. The grounds surround the house and include extensive off-road parking, stated to accommodate six or seven vehicles, as well as a detached double garage with storage above. A separate parcel of land of approximately 0.10 acres is also available to buy for an additional price. The sellers report receiving a positive pre-planning response for that land, but any development would remain subject to the necessary permissions. Combe Martin has local shops, a primary school, healthcare facilities, a Post Office, pubs and restaurants. Barnstaple is the nearest main trading centre, with rail connections to Exeter and access to the North Devon Link Road. The surrounding area includes coastal beaches and Exmoor National Park.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

46out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This is a spacious Edwardian coastal home with a lot to work with: period character, sea views, a double garage, extensive parking and an established garden. The photographed rooms appear liveable, with the main opportunity being a light refresh of older finishes; the kitchen and separate shower room look in comparatively good order, while the older bathroom could be updated to taste.

The price is the harder part of the case. At £650,000, the asking price is above the local £/sqf average, and purchase plus works looks tight against local benchmarks. The setting and house have clear appeal, but the numbers leave limited headroom for a project buyer.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated wallpaper, carpets and finishes across several living and bedroom spaces while retaining the home's period character.
  • The sea views, established garden, double garage and extensive parking give the property a distinctive lifestyle appeal.
  • The older bathroom offers scope for an optional update; the kitchen and separate shower room appear comparatively ready to use.

Key risks

  • The sloping garden's retaining walls and steps merit inspection.
  • The asking price is above the local £/sqf average, and purchase plus works look tight against local benchmarks.
