Located on the Bel Air Chalet Park in the coastal village of St Osyth, this compact two-bedroom chalet offers an affordable seaside holiday base or short-term rental opportunity. The property is fully double glazed, has an enclosed front garden and open-plan living that makes the most of its modest footprint. It is offered chain free and priced to reflect its size and status.
Important practical facts: the chalet is sold with holiday-home status, runs on electric heating with room heaters, and carries an EPC rating of F. The accommodation measures approximately 338 sq ft in total and includes a shower room, modest kitchen and a lounge with French doors to the front patio. Annual ground rent and service charge are low (£25 each), and council tax is in Band A.
Critical drawback: there are only around 30 years remaining on the lease. This is likely to prevent mortgage lending and restrict purchase to cash buyers or specialist lenders. The property’s Holiday Home designation and low lease length reduce resale and mortgageability prospects, and the F-rated EPC signals limited energy efficiency.
This chalet suits a buyer seeking a low-cost coastal holiday retreat or a cash investor prepared to accept the short lease and associated limitations. It offers immediate possession with no onward chain but will require realistic expectations about finance, future resale, and potential improvement work to increase comfort or efficiency.
