This handsome Grade II-listed first-floor apartment occupies a prime seafront position in Aldeburgh, with an expansive balcony and uninterrupted views over the beach and sea. The raised, single-level accommodation offers high ceilings, generous reception rooms and a drawing room with an open fireplace—all arranged to maximise the coastal outlook. Lift or stair access adds everyday convenience.
Arranged as five bedrooms and four bathrooms across 1,889 sq ft, the layout is flexible: it functions as one substantial home or can be split into two self-contained apartments, appealing for retirement living, guests or letting income. Three bedrooms have en suite facilities and there is a second practical kitchen/utility area for added versatility.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance and upgrades. The building has solid brick walls with no cavity insulation (assumed) and secondary glazing; heating is electric storage radiators and the EPC is C, so thermal and heating improvements will need listed-building-sensitive solutions. Tenure is share of freehold.
The location is a major strength: Aldeburgh’s amenities, cultural venues and coastline lie on the doorstep, with excellent mobile and broadband connectivity and very low local crime. There are proposed regional infrastructure projects (including Sizewell-related works) which may affect the wider area. Overall, this is a rare seafront retirement opportunity with strong lifestyle appeal but some conservation-led constraints and retrofit considerations.
