Land for sale

Lincombe, Lee, Ilfracombe EX34

Plot 2 of 2 - There is a particular appeal to building your own home by the coast. Not just buying something close to the sea and slowly adapting it over time, but starting with a blank page. Choosing the layout. Thinking about the light. Deciding how you want the kitchen to work, where the morning coffee should happen, and how the house should sit in relation to the garden. This building plot in Lincombe offers exactly that opportunity.

Set in a coastal village location near Lee Bay and Ilfracombe, the plot extends to around 0.4 acres and has consent for a detached three-bedroom bungalow of approximately 130 sq m internally, with gardens and parking.

For North Devon, and particularly in locations so close to the coast, opportunities like this are not easy to find. Coastal villages are often tightly held. Space is limited. Planning opportunities are limited. Most buyers looking for this sort of setting end up compromising with an older property that almost works, then spend years trying to make it fit.

At its centre is a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living area — the sort of space that becomes the natural gathering point of the house. A place for slow Sunday mornings, family lunches, a hot cuppa after a walk down towards the coast, and summer evenings with the doors open to the garden.

There is also a separate utility, which is one of those details that sounds modest on paper but makes a real difference to everyday life. Especially by the coast, where wet coats, beach towels, walking boots and dogs have a habit of appearing whether invited or not.

The accommodation includes three good bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefitting from an en-suite shower room. It is a layout that should work well for a couple relocating to the coast, a family wanting a more manageable single-storey home, or local buyers who have long wanted the chance to build something of their own in a location they already know and love.
