St. Brannocks Road, Ilfracombe, EX34

87b St Brannocks Road is a very spacious first-floor flat, situated on the main approach road into town and occupying a convenient position just a few hundred yards from the town’s park gardens and High Street. The property is also within easy reach of the picturesque seafront and harbour, as well as the Torrs and Cairn Nature Reserve, which is ideal for dog walkers and offers some fabulous coastal scenery.

The flat is presented in excellent order, with a well-kept kitchen and generously proportioned, bright and airy accommodation throughout. It also benefits from uPVC double glazing and enjoys a pleasant open outlook from the front elevation. A considerable advantage is the large privately owned garden area to the rear, which offers potential to create off-road parking, subject to any necessary planning consent.

The property is offered with no onward chain and is considered ideal as a first-time purchase, buy-to-let investment or holiday home.

The flat has its own front door, which leads into a spacious 19' x 15' kitchen/dining room. The kitchen is fitted with base units and a sink, space and plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher (included in the sale) and there is also an additional walk-in store cupboard and an airing cupboard housing the hot water tank. A gas fire with back boiler provides hot water and is set into a tiled fireplace and hearth.

An inner hallway gives access to the remaining accommodation. The 17' x 15' lounge is positioned at the front of the flat and is a particularly bright and airy room, featuring a large bay window with a pleasant open outlook across the town. A tiled fireplace and hearth provide an attractive focal point. There are two good-sized bedrooms and a bathroom/w.c., fitted with a panelled bath, low-level w.c. and hand basin. From the bathroom, there is a fire escape exit via an external spiral staircase.

The flat is approached from the rear of the building via a gate and pathway shared with Flat C, the top-floor flat. There are two garden areas to the rear, with the first area allocated to Flat C. A pathway leads past this section to the upper garden, which is a much larger area privately owned by the flat for sale. The garden is currently mainly natural in appearance and backs onto Station Road, giving considerable potential to create off-road parking for two cars, subject to any necessary consent.

The large garden is a real benefit and is not something often found with properties of this type. We fully advise an early internal inspection to appreciate the size, condition and facilities on offer.

The property is leasehold with the balance of an original 125 year lease which commenced on the 6th June 1989. The freeholder is North Devon Homes and the ground rent is £10 per annum. There is an annual service charge that will include any minor repairs and the building insurance premium, this is invoiced end of September each year, and is estimated around £60-£70. Assured shorthold letting is allowed but holiday letting is not permitted as the property has to remain as a private residence only. Domestic pets are allowed within the building.
Applicants are advised to proceed from our offices in a westerly direction along the High Street. Pass through the traffic lights at Church Street and at the mini roundabout take the left hand exit onto St. Brannocks Road. Continue along St. Brannocks Road for approximately 250 yards where number 87 will be found on the right hand side. Access to the flat is via the left hand side of the building up along the lane and into the gate at the rear.
