This compact one-bedroom cottage at The West Bay in Yarmouth is presented as a fully furnished holiday home, set within well-kept communal gardens and a west-facing deck. At about 434 sq ft the layout is efficient: an open-plan kitchen/dining/sitting room with French doors, a double bedroom with garden access, and a bathroom with shower over bath. The property benefits from mains gas heating, double glazing, and an EPC rating of C.
The leasehold tenure (125 years from 2006, c.106 years remaining) and the location in an affluent, village setting make this attractive for holiday-let investors or buyers seeking a low-maintenance coastal retreat. Strong mobile signal and fast broadband suit short-term rentals and remote bookings. The furnished turnkey presentation reduces immediate setup work for holiday use.
Material considerations: the annual service and maintenance charge (£4,287.26) and ground rent (£460.96) are significant running costs that will affect rental yield and personal running costs. The property is small, so long-term primary-residence buyers should expect limited storage and living space. No pets are permitted under the site rules, which may limit some rental markets. Buyers should check any holiday-let restrictions and confirm all lease terms and service charge arrangements.
Overall, this is a straightforward, low-upkeep seaside holiday cottage with clear short-term rental potential, but its modest size and above-average service charges mean it suits investors or buyers prioritising location and convenience over spacious accommodation.
