Winter-ready new homes in Ilfracombe

ENERGY bills could be lowered with a move to a new home in Ilfracombe this winter. With the energy price cap due to rise from next month, Elan Homes is highlighting the advantages of buying a new build home at Seascape.

Regional sales director Tracey Ball explained: “After a long hot summer, it’s certainly starting to feel more autumnal and as temperatures drop it’s likely many people will start seeing an increase in their energy bills, particularly with the price cap due to rise soon. The good news is that we have energy efficient new homes in Ilfracombe that are build complete and ready to move into. They’re much more efficient than their older equivalents. Based on Energy Performance Certificate data from last year it’s estimated that heating, hot water and lighting costs are around 50% cheaper in a new house than an older one, with the potential to save almost £1,000 a year*.”

Among the homes ready to move into is the two-bedroom semi-detached Georgeham, priced from £249,995.

It has a split-level design, with combined kitchen and dining room is at the front of the property at ground level. There’s also a convenient cloakroom on the ground floor.

There are seven steps from the kitchen/ dining room down to the lounge. French doors open out from the lounge room to the garden.

A full flight of stairs leads from the kitchen/ dining room to the first floor, where there are two bedrooms and a bathroom.

A two-bedroom detached Atherington is also build complete and available for a quick move from £279,995. It includes upgraded kitchen, with integrated dishwasher, fitted wardrobe to the main bedroom and turfed rear garden, equipped with exterior socket and tap.

Designed to maximise the potential of the space, it features an open plan layout with combined kitchen, dining area and living room at the front.

The two bedrooms are at the rear of the property, with one benefiting from direct access to the garden via French doors. There’s also a sleek modern bathroom.

The integral garage is at lower ground level.

For those who want three bedrooms, the semi-detached Goodleigh is the ideal solution. It’s available from £299,995 and includes an upgraded kitchen equipped with dishwasher, plus outdoor tap and double socket.

The kitchen and dining room is at the front of the property at ground level. There’s also a cloakroom on this level. At lower ground level, at the rear is the lounge, which offers direct access to the garden.

Three bedrooms, one with en-suite, plus a family bathroom are on the first floor.

Elan’s new homes in Ilfracombe are being built within an established residential area, with nearby amenities including schools and a supermarket. The high street is less than half a mile away and is home to a range of independent retailers. There’s a choice of beaches nearby, plus Exmoor National Park is within easy reach.
