This two-bedroom retirement bungalow sits in the popular Oaklands development for over-55s, a short walk from Southwold and the beach. The mid-terrace, single-storey home faces communal lawns and trees, offering a peaceful, low-maintenance setting ideal for downsizers who want coastal proximity without stairs.
Inside, a well-proportioned lounge and two rear bedrooms provide comfortable living within a compact footprint. The kitchen and shower room are serviceable but dated—there’s clear scope to modernise the kitchen and update finishes to suit personal taste. Electric storage heaters and room heaters supply warmth; buyers should expect the heating to be less efficient than modern systems.
Practical details: the property is leasehold, aimed at over-55s, offered chain-free and with a modest ground rent of £180. Communal gardens and nearby shops add convenience, while average broadband and mobile signal are sufficient for everyday use. No flooding risk and very low local crime support a secure, relaxed retirement lifestyle.
This bungalow will suit buyers seeking a compact, low-upkeep home near the coast with potential for cosmetic improvement. It represents good value for its location, but those wanting modern heating, a larger footprint, or freehold tenure should note the limitations before viewing.
