This stylish one‑bed apartment in central Southwold is presented as a turn‑key, newly renovated home with proven holiday‑let income. The ground‑floor layout feels light and airy thanks to high ceilings, a bay window and an open‑plan living/dining arrangement that appeals to short‑stay guests and long‑term tenants alike.
Practical ownership is straightforward: the flat is sold with a 999‑year lease (from May 2024) and a one‑third share of the freehold is available. The accommodation includes a generous double bedroom with built‑in storage, a separate W/C and family bathroom, and a rear shared courtyard for outside space—useful in a town‑centre location where private gardens are rare.
Strengths include recent renovation, strong rental history as a successful holiday let, mains gas central heating and fast broadband/mobile signal. Notable downsides are the EPC rating of D, secondary glazing only, and the building’s solid‑brick construction (likely no cavity insulation), which could mean higher running costs or future upgrade work to improve thermal efficiency. Access is via a communal rear entrance and the property sits in an area classified as ageing urban communities, which may influence future tenant profiles.
This unit suits investors seeking a low‑management coastal holiday let or buyers after a compact, stylish home in walking distance of Southwold’s amenities. Be aware of the shared access and courtyard, and factor in potential improvement costs for insulation and energy performance if lowering running costs or improving returns is a priority.
