Description
Previously operating as a local newsagent, the property has been completely transformed to combine a stylish, modern living space above a versatile retail unit, complemented by a small landscaped garden and courtyard to the rear.
The accommodation has been thoughtfully redesigned to provide the comfort and practicality of a contemporary home. The ground floor comprises a lock-up shop with a cloakroom and a small store room, ideal for a range of business uses. The self-contained maisonette above features two bedrooms (one en-suite), a guest bathroom, an additional cloakroom, and a stunning new kitchen/breakfast room fitted with modern appliances.
Externally, the property benefits from a south-facing courtyard and a gravelled rear garden with shared access.
The entire property has been extensively modernised, including new gas-fired radiator central heating, a complete rewire, and high-quality internal finishes throughout.
This is a superb investment opportunity offering both commercial and residential potential, or alternatively, a perfect purchase for an owner-occupier seeking a live/work lifestyle in a convenient and desirable location.
Ilfracombe is an historic Victorian seaside resort and provides shopping facilities as well as other amenities such as Building society, Library, Post Office, Schools and Cinema etc. There are a number of attractions within walking distance including Damien Hirst's now famous Verity statue situated on the Harbour, the new water sports centre, the award-winning Ilfracombe Aquarium, the unique Tunnels Beaches and many more. You will find numerous events and festivals throughout the year, many based on the quayside at the historic harbour and at the prestigious Landmark Theatre on the seafront. There are many fine and award winning beaches close by, from secluded coves to the wide stretches of golden sand with crashing surf. For a unique beach experience visit 'The Tunnels' in Ilfracombe, holders of a seaside award or Hele Bay, to the east of the town, also award winners, for good bathing and rock pool exploring. Putsborough, Woolacombe and Croyde are within easy motoring distance, whilst North Devon's regional centre of Barnstaple is approximately 20 minutes driving time.
