This property is a one-bedroom retirement apartment situated in Lantern Court on Hillsborough Road, Ilfracombe, North Devon. The apartment is part of a purpose-built retirement development, which offers residents access to communal facilities such as a lounge, library, and laundry room, as well as a mobile scooter store. This is a significant advantage for older residents, providing convenience and social interaction. The photos reveal a relatively modern kitchen and bathroom, but other areas of the apartment require finishing touches or updating (such as flooring). The apartment is described as having harbour views and benefits from communal gardens. While the exact square footage is not provided, the price seems reasonable compared to other nearby apartment listings, bearing in mind this is a ‘lifetime lease’ property aimed at the over-60s market and the price reflects this. The location in Ilfracombe is positive, offering access to schools, shops, and the coast, though transport details are unavailable. Overall, it presents a reasonable option for older buyers seeking a relatively low-maintenance retirement home in a pleasant coastal setting, although potential buyers should account for potential finishing costs and confirm transport availability.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
