This very attractive town house benefits from planning permissions for residential conversion and redevelopment. Plans are available for inspection at Webbers Commercial. The rear section has been sold off separately for commercial restaurant/café use.
The accommodation has been stripped back to the stonework and timber uprights and beams in readiness for conversion and now provides largely open-plan accommodation, offering an ideal opportunity for a builder, developer or DIY enthusiast to complete the project to their own specification.
Now only available due to the owner's business commitments elsewhere, this desirable property occupies a sought-after position close to Ilfracombe Harbour and offers potential as a substantial private residence, holiday home or investment opportunity, subject to any necessary consents.
Planning permissions have previously been granted for the conversion of the upper floors into a substantial dwelling, with the most recent permission also including residential use of the ground floor and an extension. Subject to the approved plans and any necessary consents, the property offers the potential to create extensive residential accommodation.
