Berkeley Place, Ilfracombe, Devon, EX34

This property is a bit of a 'Tardis' and certainly more than first meets the eye! 7 Berkeley Place is a beautifully presented and extensively refurbised and modernised, characterful terraced home situated in a central and convenient location just metres from the High Street. Despite its convenience, the property is situated in a tucked away location and has deceptively spacious bright and airy versatile acommodation arranged over three floors. No expense has been spared by the present owner who has more-or-less rebuilt the property internally, transforming it into a delightful, spacious home with all the benefits of modern day living, inside an older characterful facade. There are some unique features to the home with a real benefit being the lower ground floor of house having the option to be used as a separate self-contained annexe/studio flat, which is perfect for those looking for a home and income. At present, this area of the property is currently let on an assured shorthold tenancy to a single lady, paying a monthly rent to include all bills, of £595. This equates to £7,140 per annum which is a really handy additional supplementary income. The annexe/flat has its own independent access via external steps that lead down to the lower ground floor thus meaning the occupier of the flat can come and go as they please without impinging on the privacy of the main part of the property.

Whilst the current owner chooses to use the property as a main house and separate flat, it can also easily be used as one larger home if desired. The lower ground floor would provide a fabulous additional living room or large en suite bedroom or utilised as a playroom or hobbies room, home office, gym etc. This extra versatility really helps to set this delightful home apart from others of its type. The modern fixtures and fittings provide a touch of luxury and there is gas fired central heating and uPVC double glazing.

Upon entering the property the quality of the home and space on offer is immediately evident with the 25ft long open plan living/dining and kitchen area. This spacious light-filled room is the heart of the home and perfect for modern day living. The sleek kitchen units provide plenty of storage as well as having fully integrated appliances which include an oven, hob and extractor, a dishwasher and a fridge/freezer. At the rear there is a small lobby with a store cupboard and a Juliet balcony. Stairs lead up to the first floor and there is a useful storage cupboard under. A lockable door also conceals the staircase down to the lower ground floor as well, allowing the main area of the house and the annexe/flat to be secured from one another if required.

On the first floor, there are two double-sized bedrooms, with the main bedroom having two built-in cupboards. The bathroom has modern well-appointed fittings and the benefit of a bath as well as a walk-in shower cubicle. On the landing, there is a large store/linen cupboard as well as access to the loft space.

Outside, the property is accessed via a small pedestrian only no-through lane which helps provide the tucked away and private position. At the front of the house, external steps give access to the lower ground floor as mentioned earlier. At the rear there is an enclosed courtyard which has a handy store/utility room.

7 Berkeley Place is somewhat unique, offering a great deal of versatility, style and quality and a lot more space than you might think. A full and early internal inspection is essential to appreciate the excellent features of this beautifully crafted home. The property is available with full vacant possession and no onward chain. Equally, the tenant in the flat/annexe is happy to stay on if the new owner so desires.
