## Description

Bathos is a truly unique and highly versatile property situated in the heart of Ilfracombe. Offering spacious living accommodation, exceptional garaging, and workshop facilities, this property presents a rare opportunity for those seeking a home with serious potential, business space, or hobby/workshop areas. While the property would benefit from general updating, it offers endless possibilities to make it your own.

The ground floor is a real highlight of the property and provides a remarkable amount of space and flexibility. There is a cinema/entertainment room with an electronic projector screen, accessed either via the internal lift or a separate ground-floor entrance, complete with a sink and worktop — ideal as a games room, studio, or office. From here, doors open into a large garage with an electric roller door, leading through to a substantial garage/workshop area with two additional rooms and a WC. This extensive lower level offers huge scope for a variety of uses — perfect for anyone needing space for a business, classic cars, storage, or creative pursuits. It could also be adapted into additional accommodation (subject to any necessary permissions).

The main living accommodation is located on the first floor and includes a spacious open-plan kitchen/dining area fitted with an integrated stainless-steel double sink and drainer, five-ring gas hob, and double oven, with space and plumbing for a washing machine, dishwasher, and fridge. There is a porch, WC, and a cupboard housing a lift providing access to the ground floor.

The bright lounge opens into a sun room at the front of the property, which enjoys lovely town and sea views and provides access to a small balcony. A fully tiled wet room includes a shower, basin, and toilet, and there are three bedrooms in total, along with an airing cupboard for storage. 

To the rear of the property, there is a patio area with additional storage which could be a great office area. Bathos offers a rare combination of central Ilfracombe living and substantial ground-floor workspace. With its outstanding potential, generous proportions, and sea views, it’s an ideal opportunity for buyers looking for something truly different.

From our office in Ilfracombe High Street, head in a westerly direction. Upon reaching the roundabout, take the 2nd exit onto Osborne Road. Take the 2nd right hand turn and the property will be found on your right hand side.
