Flat for sale in Devon
LOCATION
In a busy tourist trading position, the subject premises are located at the junction of Fore Street and Broad Street. The property is close to the Ropery Road and Cove public car parks and is within the vicinity of public houses, restaurants and within only a few yards walking distance of the harbour and Ilfracombe Pier. The resort is North Devon’s largest tourist centre, offering a host of facilities including beaches, parklands, attractive coastal walks and on the outskirts of town is a popular golf course. The world renowned artist Damien Hirst has given on loan to the town a statue called ‘Verity’ which is located on the pier and has attracted many more day visitors to the area.
THE PROPERTY
This very attractive town house now has residential planning for converting the front part into accommodation. Plans are available for inspection at Webbers Commercial. The rear section has been sold off privately for commercial restaurant/cafe usage. The accommodation has been stripped back to stonework and timber uprights and beams in readiness for conversion, all now open plan and ideal to commence fitting out. Now only available due to other business commitments elsewhere the owner has now decided to sell this desirable piece of real estate close to the busy harbour. It is ideal as a builders/DIY project for private use as a private residence or potential holiday home with income generating potential. This property offers the potential for six bedrooms, with six rooms above ground floor level that can be converted into bedrooms. Additionally, there are two rooms on the ground floor with residential planning permission, and approval to build an extension for an additional bedroom. This makes it a potential six bedroom house with the option to extend further.
