Stradbroke Road, Southwold, Suffolk, IP18

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a truly individual coastal retreat, discreetly positioned behind the Methodist Church and offering immense potential for enhancement or investment. We are delighted to bring to market what is arguably Southwold�s most affordable freehold property � a rare and characterful conversion of what is believed to be a former Fisherman�s net store, offering tucked-away tranquillity just moments from the town�s vibrant heart and seafront. Approached via a charming, shared pathway, bordered by well-established planting, a shingle path leads to a full height gate revealing a secluded courtyard garden � perfect for al fresco dining or morning coffee in the sun. This low-maintenance outdoor space lends itself beautifully to holiday use or as a peaceful hideaway. Inside, the property is compact yet full of charm. A small entrance hallway, with an area to one end with plumbing for a washing machine, opens through to a simple yet functional kitchen, complete with base and wall units, inset sink and space for a freestanding cooker. Also on the ground floor is a modest shower room. Stairs rise to a vaulted first floor where a wonderfully light reception area enjoys a corner window set above the stairwell. Exposed ceiling timbers add a delightful sense of character. An opening leads through to the bedroom area, comfortably accommodating a double bed, and with a further window overlooking the side aspect. While requiring modernisation, the property offers exciting scope. Our clients have been granted planning permission to increase the accommodation by around fifty percent. With no onward chain, this truly is a superb chance to create a distinctive bolt hole, pied-�-terre or holiday investment � perfectly poised for the beach, town, and Southwold�s unique coastal charm. Agent�s note - A new water supply has been laid onto the site. This has not been connected to the cottage yet as our vendors thought they might extend the property first. The connection costs have been paid, so a buyer is able to request this if they want to just make good the current structure, rather than increase its size. If extended, the water would then be connected after the building work has been done. Additional Information: Council Tax Band: A Local Authority � East Suffolk Council We have been advised that the property has the following services. Mains water (see above note), mains drainage, electricity and electric heating. A mains gas point is within the site so this can be connected should a buyer wish to go for gas central heating.
