Set just off Aldeburgh High Street, this two-double-bedroom terraced cottage pairs period character with a sea-side outlook. The main bedroom opens onto a sun deck with views over the yacht club, and the open-plan ground floor and conservatory capture plenty of daylight. Off-street parking and a small cottage garden add practical benefits for day-to-day coastal living.
Offered freehold and chain free, the house will suit downsizers or couples seeking an Aldeburgh base close to shops, cafes and the waterfront. The layout is straightforward and low-maintenance, with gas central heating, double glazing and a compact footprint that’s easy to manage.
There are some important practical considerations: the property sits in a high flood-risk area and prospective buyers should factor in insurance and flood-prevention costs. The solid brick walls were built circa 1900–1929 and are assumed to have no cavity insulation, so upgrading wall insulation would improve comfort and energy efficiency. EPC rating C is reasonable but not top-tier.
Overall this is a characterful, well-located cottage with immediate access to town amenities and sailing on the rivers Alde and Ore. It offers an attractive balance of low-maintenance living, parking and a balcony with estuary views — provided buyers accept the location’s flood exposure and potential for insulation works.
