Hillsborough Terrace, Ilfracombe

Combe Haven, 3 Hillsborough Terrace is an impressive Grade 2 listed Georgian Terrace currently comprising three large apartments. The property has limitless potential. Every floor of the building has unrivalled sea views and each apartment comes with its own parking space and designated outdoor area.

Set back from the main road in a raised position, the property overlooks the harbour and Ilfracombe's famous Verity statue. Whilst in need of renovation and possible reconfiguration this really does represent a fantastic investment opportunity.

Each flat has separate water, gas, electricity and fire alarm systems. Appropriate checks have been carried out on gas, fire alarm systems, and electricity supplies up to the present time. The balcony has been completely rebuilt but retains the original railings which have been noted to be of special interest compared with others along the terrace. The roof for Flat 2 was re-slated and the roof terrace for Flat 3 was fibre-glassed and new railings and steps fitted. Recently the decking entrance to Flat 3 has been rebuilt and the Mews door replaced.
Four new double-glazed hardwood sash windows have been fitted at the rear of the property in Flat 3, on floors 3 and 4. In 2022, Flat 2 received new carpets. In early 2023, Flat 1 was painted throughout the ground floor. New gas pipework and meter boxes were re-sited to the rear of the property and new external pipework was fitted to supply the 3 flats in accordance with current regulations.

North Devon has a wealth of simply stunning golden sand beaches and has long been a mecca for British surfers. The area has recently been declared a ‘world surfing reserve’, one of just 12 places on the planet along with Australia’s Golden Coast and Malibu in California.
