Read the full agent description
Situated in the Victorian coastal town of Ilfracombe, this spacious three-bedroom reverse-living home on The Shields offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy North Devon coastal living. With no upper chain and arranged across two floors this property is perfectly suited to families, downsizers or those seeking a coastal retreat within easy reach of the town's harbour and beaches.
The reverse-living layout takes full advantage of the elevated aspect and the hillside views. The generous living room is flooded with natural light through large picture windows that frame the rolling Devon countryside beyond. Adjacent to this is the kitchen/diner, with scope for modernisation with a real opportunity for the incoming buyer to put their own stamp on things.
Descending to the lower ground floor, the three bedrooms are all comfortably well-proportioned. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted mirrored sliding wardrobes and its own outlook over the surrounding landscape. Two further bedrooms are both served by a family bathroom, tiled throughout in warm stone-effect tiling and complete with a full-sized bath and overhead shower attachment.
Outside, the property benefits from a garage with an up-and-over door, a driveway providing off-road parking for one vehicle and additional unrestricted on-road parking. To the rear, the garden features a lawned garden with a paved courtyard seating area adjoining the property, offering a pleasant spot to sit out and enjoy the sunshine, with the hills forming a natural backdrop.
Ilfracombe's vibrant harbour, with its galleries, restaurants and the famous Verity sculpture, is just a short distance away, as are the town's sandy beaches and coastal walking paths. Families will also appreciate the proximity to well-regarded local primary and secondary schools, making this an equally practical choice for those with children.
A home brimming with potential in one of Devon's most beloved seaside towns!
