The home, in the agent’s words
Read the full agent description
Offered to the market with no onward chain, 23 Church Road is a substantial and well-maintained four-bedroom semi-detached Victorian home, occupying a convenient central position within the popular North Devon coastal town of Ilfracombe. Offering generous and flexible accommodation arranged over two floors, the property is full of period charm and provides an excellent opportunity for new owners to further personalise and enhance the home to suit their own tastes and requirements.
The property enjoys the spacious proportions commonly associated with Victorian homes, including high ceilings and generously sized rooms, creating a light and comfortable feel throughout. While the property has been well cared for, there remains scope for a purchaser to introduce their own style and potentially modernise selected areas over time.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed into a spacious entrance hall which provides access to the principal ground-floor accommodation. The lounge is a particularly generous reception room, offering ample space for comfortable seating and making an ideal area in which to relax or entertain. A separate spacious dining room provides a further versatile reception space, well suited to family dining, entertaining guests or potentially being adapted for alternative uses depending on the needs of the purchaser.
The ground floor also benefits from a separate WC and a useful shower room, adding a practical element to the accommodation and making the layout particularly convenient for family living or visiting guests.
To the rear of the property is the galley-style kitchen, which is fitted with a one-and-a-half bowl sink and drainer, gas hob, and space and plumbing for both a dishwasher and washing machine. The kitchen provides a practical working space and offers access towards the rear of the property.
Outside, the home enjoys an enclosed rear garden, predominantly patioed to provide a relatively low-maintenance outdoor area. This creates a pleasant and private space for outdoor seating, dining, entertaining or simply relaxing during the warmer months.
Moving to the first floor, the property continues to offer an impressive amount of accommodation. There are four bedrooms in total, comprising two particularly spacious double bedrooms, a further smaller double bedroom and a single bedroom. The variety of bedroom sizes provides flexibility for a family, while one of the rooms could equally be utilised as a home office, study or guest room if desired.
The first floor is further served by a family bathroom together with an additional separate WC, an especially useful feature in a property of this size.
Additional benefits include gas-fired central heating via radiators, high ceilings, an enclosed rear garden and pleasant views towards the surrounding countryside. The combination of substantial internal accommodation and the property's character makes it an appealing option for buyers seeking a traditional period home in a central location.
Situated within Ilfracombe, the property is conveniently placed for access to the town and its range of local amenities, while also benefiting from the wider appeal of North Devon's coastline and surrounding countryside.
With its spacious layout, four-bedroom accommodation, Victorian proportions and scope for further personalisation, 23 Church Road represents an excellent opportunity for families, investors or purchasers searching for a sizeable character property in Ilfracombe.
The property is freehold and is offered for sale with the significant advantage of no onward chain.
