3 bedroom terraced house for sale

Harbour Sands is a well-presented and much improved terraced characterful cottage situated in the much sought-after seafront and harbour area of town; indeed, the cottage is located less than 100 metres from the picturesque harbour and Quay. At present, the property is used as a very successful holiday let cottage and produces an excellent annual income in the region of £20,000 (net, after costs) which, based on the asking price, equates to a net yield of over 7%! Equally, the cottage could also be used as a low maintenance permanent home.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors and was refurbished throughout back in 2019. The property benefits from gas central heating and has plenty of character and charm and a cosy, homely feel. The entrance is into a large lobby which doubles as a handy utility room which has a work surface with plumbing for a washing machine under as well as the gas fired boiler for the central heating and hot water. Double doors lead through into the living room which has stripped wooden floorboards and the stairs leading up to the upper floors. There is a raised area within the corner of the room with a built-in solid wood dining table which is an attractive feature of the room. There is ample room for a large sofa and provision for a wall-hung television. The kitchen leads off of the living room and has modern fitted base and wall units and is complimented with fitted appliances which include an oven, hob and extractor, a microwave/combination oven, a dishwasher and a fridge/freezer. Both the kitchen and the utility room have large roof light windows allowing plenty of the days sunlight to pour in.

Moving to the first floor there is a double-sized bedroom as well as the family bathroom which is well-appointed with a modern white suite with a shower over the bath. Up again, and to the second floor, there are two further double-sized bedrooms.

The property is tastefully furnished and equipped and is ready to purchase with everything in-situ ready for immediate use, if required and subject to separate negotiation. The cottage is located next to a large public car park and we understand parking permits are available to purchase for that car park and others in the immediate sea front area as well.

The property is well located and handy for the local amenities. The cottage is just a short stroll from the various shops, restaurants, wine bars and public houses, cafes and art galleries within the sea front area. Damien Hirst's "Verity" statute stands prominently on Ilfracombe pier and has been the catalyst for a great number of visitors to the town over recent years. The high street with its further selection of small independent shops and amenities are again just a short distance away and there are schools for all ages as well as Tesco, Lidl and Co-Op Supermarkets.

North Devon has a huge amount to offer with the fabulous golden sand surfing beaches at Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton just a short car ride away. The Exmoor National Park is also within easy reach and enjoys some breath-taking scenery and miles and miles of walking. North Devon’s main trading centre, Barnstaple, is approximately 12 miles away and has many of the big name shops. There is also a rail link to Exeter which then connects directly to the major stations in London. The main A361 North Devon Link road also connects from Barnstaple and joins the M5 at junction 27.

This delightful home is a great opportunity and we fully advise an early internal inspection.
