Horne Road, Ilfracombe

**BY ONLINE AUCTION - (If not Sold Before!) - OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY 19th JULY- 1pm - 3pm -By Appointment Only** A spacious Coastal home with HUGE POTENTIAL! This detached character property in Ilfracombe offers 3 large bedrooms, 2 reception rooms, an open-plan kitchen/diner & a private garden. Plus, a 2-storey barn/workshop with conversion potential (STPP). Walk to beaches, cafes & coastal trails!

Some homes are move-in ready. Others? They’re a blank canvas waiting for the right buyer to bring them to life. This detached coastal gem in Ilfracombe falls firmly into the latter category, offering bags of potential for anyone keen to put their own stamp on a property.

With period charm, spacious rooms, and an outbuilding crying out for some sort of conversion, this is more than just a home— it’s a project with serious upside.

SPACE, CHARACTER AND A PLACE TO GROW

Inside, the layout is ideal for modern family life. Two reception rooms offer flexible living space, perfect for a home office, snug, or fourth bedroom. The open-plan kitchen/diner is the heart of the home—plenty of room for entertaining, family meals, and those inevitable renovation planning sessions over a cup of coffee.

Upstairs, you’ll find three large bedrooms, each with big windows, high ceilings, and original features. There’s a loft for extra storage, plus a bathroom with space to upgrade.

OUTSIDE: A RARE FIND WITH A HIDDEN BONUS

Step outside, and you’ll find a private, enclosed south facing garden, ready to be landscaped into something special. Whether it’s alfresco dining, a sun-soaked patio, or a veggie patch, there’s plenty of room to work with.

And then there’s the barn/workshop. A two-storey attached outbuilding, just waiting to be transformed into a guest annex, artist’s studio, or Airbnb rental (subject to the usual planning permissions).
