An exceptional and rare opportunity to acquire a substantial mixed-use property prominently positioned on Ilfracombe’s bustling High Street. This versatile building offers a range of exciting development and investment possibilities, subject to the necessary consents.
At ground floor level, the property features a spacious retail unit currently operating as a temporary pop-up shop, benefiting from excellent frontage and visibility to passing trade.
Above the shop lies a large three-storey building offering immense potential — whether as one generous maisonette or conversion into multiple self-contained units, subject to planning. The property is very spacious, providing flexible living accommodation that can be configured to suit a variety of needs. There are also wonderful character features throughout, including large bay windows overlooking the High Street, which flood the rooms with natural light and add to the building’s charm.
To the rear, there are two one-bedroom flats, each with its own independent access to the rear. Planning permission (Ref: 55789) was granted by North Devon Council in 2013 for residential conversion. Both flats are ready to be let out with thee potential rental income in the region of £500pcm each. Please note that building control sign-off is still required for the completed works.
With its central High Street location, scope for further development, and proven investment potential, this property represents a superb opportunity for developers, investors, or owner-occupiers looking to create something special in the heart of Ilfracombe.
