Ilfracombe, EX34 9BT

Situated only a few hundred yards from Ilfracombe’s historic harbour, home to Damien Hirst’s renowned Verity statue, this beautifully refurbished ground floor apartment combines contemporary living with breathtaking coastal views. Currently operated as a successful holiday let, the property generated approximately £28,000 gross income last year, making it an appealing prospect for both lifestyle buyers and investors alike.

Recently renovated to a high standard, the apartment offers stylish accommodation perfectly suited to permanent living, a coastal retreat, or an income-producing holiday home.

A communal entrance and hall provide access to the apartment. The welcoming reception hall includes under-stairs storage, an intercom system, and a radiator, with doors leading to the well-arranged accommodation.

The open plan lounge and kitchen is a true highlight, designed with modern living in mind. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, complemented by a stainless steel one and a half bowl sink and drainer, integrated electric oven and hob with extractor hood, dishwasher, washing machine, and fridge freezer. The lounge area is flooded with natural light from UPVC double glazed windows and French doors that open onto a private balcony, offering uninterrupted panoramic views across the Bristol Channel towards the Welsh coastline.

The principal bedroom is positioned to the front with sash windows, a useful storage cupboard, and access to a stylish en-suite shower room. Bedroom two is positioned at the rear and enjoys the same stunning sea views, with direct access to the Jack and Jill shower room.

On-street parking is available along Capstone Road, with seasonal restrictions in place. This apartment offers a superb opportunity to secure a beautifully presented coastal home—whether as a permanent residence, a holiday retreat, or a proven investment in one of Ilfracombe’s most sought-after positions.
