A lovely one-bedroom retirement apartment in a beautiful development offering exceptional harbour views from the homeowners' lounge and communal gardens.
The service charges are incredibly reasonable which makes this a very attractive buy.
It’s a perfect place to call home and move on with another chapter in life. Many of the residents who live here use it as a safe and secure place to base themselves and it also allows them to live and enjoy life in the UK and further afield.
It is also a great rental investment as it can be let out to tenants over 60 years old. There would be high demand for this as a rental.
Local agents suggest around £850pcm - £925 pcm, £10,200 - £11,100 per annum.
This would be over Gross 11.5% Yield and 7.89% Net Yield (After Service Charges and Ground Rent) on £850 pcm.
Ilfracombe is a charming coastal town located in North Devon, England, known for its picturesque harbour, stunning views, and rich history. The town offers local GP services and a pharmacy, with more extensive healthcare available in nearby Barnstaple.
It has a wonderful active community and with so much on the doorstep such as Exmoor, Coastal Path, Woolacombe, Saunton, Lynton, Lynmouth, Barnstaple, Croyde and much much more, there is plenty to keep busy.
Ilfracombe enjoys a mild coastal climate, with moderate winters and summers.
This property is exclusively available for individuals aged 60.
