Lincombe, Lee, Ilfracombe EX34

Plot 1 of 2 - There are plenty of people who talk about moving to the coast. Far fewer get the chance to create the home they actually want when they get there. This building plot in Lincombe offers a rare opportunity to do exactly that: To build a detached four-bedroom home in one of North Devon’s quietly sought-after coastal pockets, close to Lee Bay, Ilfracombe and some of the most dramatic stretches of coastline in the South West.

Set within a plot of around 0.2 acres, the approved scheme provides for a well-proportioned detached home of approximately 166.5 sq m internally, with gardens and parking. The design has been planned with modern coastal living in mind: Generous open-plan space, four good bedrooms, practical storage, and the a layout that works just as well for family life as it does for visiting friends, grown-up children, or your weekends that will collect extra people as time goes on.

The heart of the proposed home is the open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. This is the room where daily life would naturally unfold — morning coffee, long lunches, steaming hot tea after a long coastal walk, and summer evenings with the doors open to the garden. A separate utility keeps the practical side of life neatly out of view, which is exactly where it belongs.

The plans allow for four comfortable bedrooms, including two with en-suite shower rooms. It is a sensible, flexible arrangement: Enough space for a family, enough comfort for downsizers who still want room for guests, and enough privacy for those relocating and expecting people to visit often — because, inevitably, they will.

And that is really the point here. This is not simply a plot of land with consent for a house.

It is the chance to shape a home around a coastal way of life.

Lincombe sits close to Lee Bay, with Ilfracombe nearby for shops, restaurants, schools, harbour life and everyday convenience. Woolacombe, Mortehoe, Combe Martin and the wider North Devon coastline are all within easy reach, giving you access to beaches, cliff walks, surf, sailing, sea air and the unique Exmoor landscape. Plots like this are not common in locations like this. Coastal villages are often tightly held, with limited space, planning constraints and very few opportunities to start with a blank canvas. Most buyers have to compromise. They take on an older house and work backwards from someone else’s decisions.

Here, you have the chance to do something different. For a couple relocating to the coast, this could be a way to create a home that properly fits the next chapter rather than adapting to one that almost does.

For a local family, it may be the opportunity they have been waiting for: To build in a place they already know, close to the coast they already love.
