Set a few minutes’ walk from Southwold’s seafront, this three-bedroom semi-detached cottage is a compact, move-in-ready retreat or income-producing holiday let. Recent works include full redecoration, new windows and front door, and gas central heating — practical updates that reduce immediate maintenance and make the property easy to let or occupy.
The ground floor has a kitchen/diner with shaker-style units, a cosy lounge with an open fire and a useful utility area, while a contemporary ground-floor bathroom adds modern convenience. Upstairs are three naturally bright bedrooms accessed off a landing. External space is small and low-maintenance, suitable for a bistro table rather than extensive gardening.
Notable positives are the vacant possession, no onward chain and strong seaside location close to shops, restaurants and a primary school. The house is modest in size (approximately 673 sq ft) and sits on a small plot, so it suits buyers seeking a pied-à-terre, second home or holiday-let rather than families needing larger gardens or extensive living space.
Buyers should note the property’s age (c.1900–1929) and solid brick construction with assumed lack of cavity insulation; further insulating works could be required to improve energy performance. There is a single bathroom and average broadband speeds, which are factors to consider for full-time living. Overall, this is a characterful, low-upkeep coastal cottage with immediate rental or personal-use potential.
