MAKE WAVES IN A NEW HOME IN ILFRACOMBE – FOR £33,000 LESS THAN AVERAGE COASTAL PROPERTY

WITH a choice of beaches within a mile and almost £34,000 less than the average coastal property, new homes in Ilfracombe prove that you don’t have to splash out to enjoy life by the sea.

While buyers may expect new build homes near the sea to come with a premium price tag, they could be pleasantly surprised with a visit to Seascape.

Elan Homes has properties available below the cost of the average coastal home.

Elan regional sales director Tracey Ball said: “The Lloyds Bank Coastal Homes Review found that the average price paid for a coastal home is now £293,710. That’s 48% higher than ten years ago. Our new homes at Seascape are competitively priced. Plus there’s potential for further savings as they won’t require expensive repairs and maintenance, are highly energy efficient and with the option to receive a 5% deposit boost or to use Own New Rate Reducer to access lower rate mortgages. These factors combined make our new homes are an attractive prospect and that’s before you consider the location.

“Our new homes at Seascape are ideally placed, less than a mile from a choice of beaches includes Tunnels Beaches, Cheyne Beach and Rapparee Cove. Whether you simply want to stroll along the beach, take up water sports or even wild swimming the area has plenty to offer.  Rapparee Cove and the more remote White Pebble Beach rank among the best wild water swimming spots in North Devon. There are also all the amenities buyers want and need nearby including schools, supermarket and the high street. Tearooms and fish and chip shops make an ideal pit stop after exploring the coast.”

Current availability at Seascape includes a choice of two and three-bedroom homes, with prices from £259,995 for the two-bedroom Georgeham.

This cleverly designed home has a split-level ground floor layout to accommodate the development’s hillside location.

On the lower ground floor, at the rear of the property with French doors opening out onto the garden, is the lounge. At ground level is an open plan kitchen and dining room, plus convenient cloakroom.

Upstairs there are two bedrooms, both with substantial windows to make the most of the natural light, and a bathroom.

Three-bedroom homes are available from £299,995.

Future phases will include stunning three-storey properties with balconies, designed to make the most of the development’s elevated position on the sunny side of the valley.

Research by the Home Builders Federation suggests that those who move from an older house to a new one, could save almost £2,200 a year on their energy bills. Because of their efficiency, Elan’s new homes at Seascape are eligible to be purchased with “Green Mortgages”. These can offer better rates, cash back or enhanced affordability due to lower running costs.

The show home at Seascape is available to view by appointment only. Viewing will help buyers appreciate the location and the specification.
