The easy way to achieve a new year goal of moving to a new home in Ilfracombe

HOMEOWNERS hoping to move to a new home in Devon could find it’s easier than they anticipated.

Easy Move is an Elan Homes scheme designed to help homeowners sell up and move on. It’s available at Seascape in Ilfracombe, where a new show home is open for viewing by appointment only from next Friday (January 10).

Elan regional sales director Tracey Ball said: “At this time of year people are looking to make lifestyle changes to improve their wellbeing. For many that includes plans to move home and with impending changes to stamp duty, there’s a need to act fast. We’re inviting anyone considering moving in 2025 to make an appointment to view our new show home at Seascape. They’ll discover the ease of living our homes offer, freeing up time that may otherwise have been spent on repairs and renovations exploring the choice of beaches within a mile of our new homes. Plus, with our Easy Move scheme, the easier life could start before moving day. We’ll work with independent estate agents to market the customer’s property and even pay the agent’s fees.”

The new show home is an example of the two-bedroom Atherington, available to purchase from £299,995.

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. French doors opening out to a Juliet balcony offer lots of natural light in this sociable space.

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.

“Stamp duty rates will change from April 1, which could add to the cost of homeownership for some people,” Tracey added.

“The good news is, we have properties at Seascape almost ready to move into. They’re highly energy efficient, with the chance to save almost £2,000 a year on energy bills.”

Current prices at Seascape start from £259,995 for a two-bedroom Georgeham style property.

Future releases will include three and four-bedroom homes, including some set out over three floors to make the most of the coastal views.

Nearby beaches include Tunnels Beaches, Cheyne Beach and Rapparee Cove, offering buyers opportunities to enjoy leisurely strolls along the coast, take up water sports or even wild swimming. Ilfracombe benefits from a range of local amenities including schools, supermarket, high street stores, tearooms and fish and chip shops.

The new show home at Seascape will be open by appointment from January 10. For more information about the development, see www.elan-homes.co.uk/developments/seascape/
