Ilfracombe has long been established as a thriving seaside resort, thanks to its sandy beach, wide range of accommodation and amenities. In recent years it has attracted a more diverse crowd too, including those who come to visit its Michelin-starred restaurant and see artist Damien Hirst’s installation ‘Verity’ that dominates the otherwise traditional harbour. Ilfracombe’s resident population of over 11,000 makes it one of North Devon’s larger towns, and there are solid plans for ongoing development including an additional 1,500k houses and possible marina. Good road and bus services connect Ilfracombe to Barnstaple (12 miles), Woolacombe (6 miles), Combe Martin (5 miles), Croyde (9 miles), Braunton (7 miles), Bideford (22 miles) and South Molton (24 miles).

THE SITUATION
The property is in an elevated position overlooking Bicclescombe Park and is accessed from its own private driveway at the entrance to the park. Within the park are gardens, walks, play area, tennis courts, duck pond and café with working water wheel. The property enjoys its own private access gate onto the park, with the Town Centre being a 15 minute walk away.

THE PROPERTY AND CONSTRUCTION
Being a substantial detached premises, the property was originally utilised as nurses’ accommodation for the close by hospital (which has since converted to a care home more recently). Again, more recently the property has been used as a language school for international students for the last 35 years, 20 years of which having been in our client’s ownership. The main building is of two storey brick construction under a pitched tiled roof, with a latter single storey extension to the side which provides reception and office space. Extending to over 3,000 sq.ft (279 sq.m) the main building is currently configured as 8 classrooms, common room, reception, 3 x offices, kitchen and 2 sets of toilet facilities. There are two further outbuildings providing additional space, of 938 sq.ft (82 sq.m), including 2 x classroom (with sliding dividing wall) as well as former garage which is utilised as storage, shower facilities and staff space. The property benefits from central heating throughout the main building as well as routine maintenance having been undertaken which is evident within the well maintained property. Externally there is car parking for approximately 12 vehicles, including mini buses, a number of decked seating areas and BBQ space as well as a level area of land where planning consent was previously obtained for a detached building of 732 sq,ft (60 sq.m) which was to be used as canteen and kitchen. This consent could be reapplied for for alternative uses such as more classroom space, bedrooms etc. Alternatively other uses might be considered such as retreat venue, single or multiple dwellings etc. As well as having its own outside space the property sits above Bicclescombe Park and has its own private entrance into the park, providing plenty more outside space and amenities, ideal for educational and retreat uses as well as private residence. The property has been used as a British Council accredited English language school for international students.

Having experience in Commercial Estate Agency since 1996, the company JD Commercial is headed up by James Doble who during his time in the Commercial market has established the importance of service in achieving successful results.

Whether it is the sale of a Leisure Property such as a Hotel or Tea Room to a private buyer, or the letting of a High Street Retail Unit to a plc, the importance of communication between all parties involved in the transaction is key. This is all brought together through JD Commercial. After all, once a purchaser is found this is often where the hard work begins.

Having the understanding that not only a purchaser's solicitor will be instructed at the point of sale, but often a Surveyor / Valuer, Bank Manager and Accountant means that we have the understanding of what is required from each party. Knowing exactly at what stage a transaction is means unnecessary costs and time delays can be avoided, as well as both vendor and purchaser experiencing a smooth transaction.

Being 100% dedicated to the Commercial Property market we do not split our time between Commercial and Residential property and as such all of our time and marketing is aimed at the Commercial sector. With our wealth of experience we have certainly noticed a change, over the years, of the ways and formats of achieving interest in property and can offer traditional or more contemporary solutions on how to market a property.

We deal with all types of Business Premises and Commercial Property throughout Devon, Cornwall and Somerset, of which they can generally be split into two sectors:- Hospitality Trade / Business Transfer and Commercial Business Property.

Hospitality Trade and Business Transfer:

Hotels / Guest Houses / Guest Accommodation and Bed & Breakfast
Public Houses / Inns, free of tie and tied
Self Catering Complexes / Camping and Caravan Sites
Catering Trade from Tea Rooms to Sandwich Bars
Business Transfer, lock up or with accommodation, such as Post Offices and Convenience Stores

Commercial Business Premises:

Retail Units
Industrial Premises
Office Accommodation
Investment Property
Development Land
