Aldeburgh High Street presents a rare freehold retail investment in the heart of this affluent coastal town. The mid‑terrace Victorian shop offers 45 sqm (489 sq ft) over two floors with a prominent frontage, bay window and skylights delivering good daytime visibility — ideal for a boutique or specialist retail operator appealing to locals and tourists.
The property is currently occupied on a sublease running to January 2026; the sub‑tenant has expressed interest in taking a new headline lease. This creates immediate income potential while allowing a purchaser to negotiate fresh terms or plan for re‑letting at expiry. Services are connected and the building benefits from mains gas heating and low local crime levels in a popular, well‑trafficked location.
Buyers should note material facts: the commercial lease structure is short‑dated (ends 2026), the EPC is D (90), and the building is a solid‑brick Victorian construction likely without modern cavity insulation. The accommodation is compact — best suited to a small retail, café, or service business rather than a larger outlet — and will require standard maintenance and possible energy‑efficiency upgrades.
For an investor seeking a town‑centre holding in a seaside market with established footfall and a modest rateable value (£8,900), this is an accessible freehold purchase with visible tenant interest. For an owner‑occupier or operator, the property offers immediate trading presence but budget should be allowed for any fit‑out, compliance checks and potential sustainability improvements.
