An exciting opportunity to acquire a garage/workshop with planning permission already granted for conversion into a two-bedroom detached home, situated in a popular residential area of Ilfracombe and enjoying attractive views towards the Torrs.

Planning permission has been granted under Planning Application 78048 for the change of use and conversion of the existing garage and store into a detached residential dwelling, giving purchasers the opportunity to create an individual home without the uncertainty of seeking initial planning consent.

The approved scheme provides two-bedroom accommodation, with the proposed design making excellent use of the existing building and its position.
