Three bedrooms over three floors with recent roof conversion
Petas Cottage is a well‑presented, characterful three‑bedroom terraced cottage tucked into Alma Place within Yarmouth’s Conservation Area. Recently refurbished and extended to the rear with a roof conversion, the house combines period details — sash windows, exposed brickwork and working fireplaces — with a light open‑plan kitchen/diner and two sitting rooms. Its compact, sheltered south‑facing terrace with potted planting offers easy low‑maintenance outdoor space and rear access to the alley.
The property suits buyers seeking a lock‑up‑and‑leave coastal home or a holiday‑let investment: it’s an attractive, walkable location close to shops, the harbour and the car ferry. The internal layout is flexible — three bedrooms over three floors, built‑in storage and a useful roof/loft room that works well as a bedroom, study or holiday let bedroom.
Buyers should note material practicalities: heating is by electric room heaters and there is no gas central heating; walls are solid brick with assumed lack of cavity insulation; double glazing was installed before 2002. The footprint and garden are small, and being in a Conservation Area may limit external alterations. These factors affect running costs and any future refurbishment choices.
Overall this cottage offers immediate move‑in condition, strong seaside character and excellent local appeal for downsizers, second‑home buyers or investors wanting a holiday‑rental opportunity — provided you accept modest living space, some ongoing running‑cost considerations and conservation constraints.
