A Substantial Period Semi-Detached Family Home with Immense Potential in an Elevated Sunny Location

Located in a desirable and elevated position enjoying excellent natural light, this impressive period semi-detached residence offers a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious and versatile home with huge scope for modernisation and transformation. Requiring comprehensive updating and refurbishment throughout, the property represents excellent value for money, especially given its generous proportions, layout, and enviable location.

Arranged over four floors, the accommodation provides remarkable flexibility, making it ideal for a larger family, multi-generational living, or for those seeking to create a separate annexe for an elderly or dependent relative. The property also offers exciting potential for conversion or sub-division into flats or maisonettes, subject to the necessary consents, providing a range of investment or development opportunities.

There are two separate access points, via the ground floor and the lower ground floor, enhancing the property’s versatility and usability for a variety of configurations.

To the rear lies a generous garden, currently in a natural and uncultivated state, extending to over 120 feet in length. This outdoor space offers endless potential for landscaping, cultivation, or recreation, and benefits from rear access. There is also a garden room, conservatory, and a useful store/workshop, ideal for hobbies, storage, or potential conversion.

One of the home’s standout features is its far-reaching elevated views across the town, the picturesque, tree-lined Score Valley, and out towards the Bristol Channel and distant Welsh coastline—an inspiring outlook that truly sets this property apart.

Additional benefits include an off-road parking space, a sought-after feature in this part of town.

Conveniently situated just a quarter of a mile from the High Street, and approximately one mile from the scenic sea front and historic harbour, the property is also ideally placed for access to the Cairn Nature Reserve, with its tranquil woodland walks, and the popular Tarka Trail, offering extensive cycling and walking routes throughout North Devon.

This substantial home presents an outstanding opportunity for those seeking a project with vast potential in a prime coastal location.
