PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Occupying an elevated second-floor position and enjoying attractive views across Ilfracombe Harbour and towards the sea, this well-presented two-bedroom apartment offers an appealing opportunity in the popular Chambercombe area of the town. Apartments in this particular part of Ilfracombe are relatively uncommon, making the property an interesting option for buyers seeking a coastal home, investment purchase or conveniently located base close to the harbour and surrounding coastline.

The property is approached via an external metal staircase which leads up to the apartment and, once inside, the accommodation is arranged to make good use of the available space.

At the heart of the property is the open-plan lounge and kitchen, which provides a comfortable and sociable living area and benefits from the elevated outlook towards the harbour and sea. The lounge has plenty of room for both seating and occasional furniture and is enhanced by a feature fireplace with exposed brick accents, adding warmth and character to the room.

The kitchen has been redesigned and modernised to create a practical yet attractive cooking space. A breakfast bar provides a useful area for informal dining, while the fitted kitchen incorporates a range of cupboards and work surfaces together with a composite sink and drainer, electric oven, gas hob and tiled splashbacks. There is also space and plumbing for a washing machine. A built-in cupboard neatly houses the gas combination boiler, helping to keep the kitchen uncluttered and functional.

The main bedroom is a well-proportioned double room which is presented in good order and offers ample space for a large bed together with substantial freestanding wardrobes and additional bedroom furniture. The second bedroom is a good-sized single and provides useful flexibility, whether required as a permanent bedroom, guest room, study or home office.

One of the particular attractions of the apartment is its elevated position, with the outlook across Ilfracombe Harbour helping to give the property a genuine coastal feel. The combination of sea views and the relative scarcity of apartments within the Chambercombe area helps set the property apart from many more typical town-centre flats.

Externally, the apartment also benefits from its own private storage shed, providing valuable additional space for bicycles, beach equipment, tools or general household storage.

The property is sold with a share of the freehold and benefits from a long lease of 999 years from and including 11 February 2011. There is no ongoing monthly maintenance payment. Instead, the costs of maintaining and repairing the building are shared equally between the three apartments on a one-third basis as and when expenditure is required.

Overall, this is a characterful and appealing two-bedroom apartment combining an elevated position, sea and harbour views, a modernised kitchen, open-plan living accommodation and useful private storage. Its location within the Chambercombe area, together with the long lease and share of freehold, should make it particularly appealing to a range of buyers looking for a home or investment close to Ilfracombe?s harbour and coastline.
