Tucked just off the town’s main tourist lane, this newly renovated two-bedroom end-terrace offers compact, high-spec living ideal for short-lets or a low-maintenance main home. The property has been updated throughout with modern finishes, double glazing, and gas central heating, making it ready to occupy or let straight away.
At around 474 sq ft the layout is efficient but small; rooms suit couples or single buyers and will appeal to investors seeking a holiday-let close to shops, cafes and the seafront. Constructed before 1900, the cottage retains period brick character to the exterior while the interior presents clean, contemporary styling and built-in storage.
Buyers should note this sale is by auction and carries additional costs: a Buyer Information Pack (£349 incl. VAT) and a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.5% of the purchase price (minimum £6,600 including VAT) payable on exchange. The property sits in an area classified as deprived with an “ageing urban communities” local profile—important when considering long-term tenant demand and resale timing.
The house is solid-brick with no known cavity insulation and the glazing install date is unknown; further insulation work could be required to improve thermal performance. There is no flood risk and local crime levels are low. Freehold tenure and mains gas central heating are practical advantages for straightforward management or conversion to a rental income stream.
