Set directly opposite Beccles Quay, this well-presented mid-terrace cottage offers tactile period character and riverside views in a compact, convenient package. The ground floor flows from a cosy sitting room with a log burner through to a bright dining room with bifold doors, creating an easy indoor–outdoor connection with the private, low‑maintenance rear garden. A modern ground-floor bathroom and useful utility/outer house add practical convenience to the characterful living spaces.
Upstairs are three bedrooms arranged off a central landing, providing flexible sleeping accommodation for a family or short‑let use. The property is tastefully decorated throughout with original features, sash-style windows and warm wood accents. At about 862 sq ft, the cottage is a manageable size for those seeking a riverside home with character rather than a large family house.
Important practical points: the house dates from before 1900 and has solid brick walls with no known cavity insulation, so heating costs may be higher than modern builds despite gas boiler and radiators. There is a medium flood risk for the area, local crime levels are high, and broadband speeds are reported as slow. These factors are relevant for everyday living or if considering holiday‑let income. Tenure is freehold and council tax is described as low, which is a financial positive for buyers.
