About this property

Set within large, very private grounds, the property enjoys far-reaching views across Ilfracombe, the surrounding countryside and towards the sea and Welsh coastline. The rear garden of the property backs directly onto the Cairn Nature Reserve.

Occupying an elevated position on the outskirts of Ilfracombe, Cairnwood represents a rare and exciting opportunity for a purchaser looking to take on a substantial property with considerable renovation potential to suit their own requirements. The property is currently arranged as six self-contained apartments, all of which have the benefit of planning permission for full residential use. However, the size, layout and overall nature of the building could make it suitable for a variety of other future uses.
