Pier Avenue, Southwold, Suffolk, IP18

A Characterful Coastal Apartment Offering Effortless Seaside Living in the Heart of Southwold.

Positioned along one of Southwold’s most iconic and sought-after roads, just moments from the beach and promenade, this striking top-floor apartment presents a rare opportunity to enjoy the very best of coastal living. Whether as a stylish weekend retreat, an income-generating holiday let, or a permanent residence by the sea, the property combines charm, practicality and an enviable location, all complemented by the rare advantage of private parking and a garage.

Having been run as a successful holiday let for fourteen years, there is an option to continue the business by transferring the bookings.

Accessed via a well-maintained communal entrance hall and stairway, the apartment occupies the uppermost floor, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and retreat. Upon entering, a welcoming entrance hall provides ample space for coats, shoes and everyday essentials before opening into the impressive principal reception room. Extending to over 20 feet in length, this beautifully proportioned living space is filled with natural light and character. Distinctive roof gables create visual interest and a sense of individuality, whilst shutters and an oblique glimpse of the sea serve as a constant reminder of the apartment’s exceptional setting. With ample space for both comfortable seating and dining, this is a room designed equally for quiet evenings and entertaining family and friends after a day spent on the beach or exploring the town’s independent shops, cafés and restaurants. With the addition of sofa-beds, you can utilise the room as a second bedroom that has independent access to the bathroom.

The kitchen is well-appointed with a range of contemporary gloss white cabinetry, complemented by contrasting work surfaces and integrated cooking appliances. Practical and functional, it offers everything required for everyday living or extended stays by the coast.

A small inner lobby leads through to the generously sized bathroom, a light-filled space enhanced by both a traditional window and Velux roof light. Warm-toned tiling creates a welcoming atmosphere, whilst the suite comprises a panelled P-shaped bath with shower over, wall-mounted wash basin, concealed cistern WC, bidet, heated towel rail and underfloor heating.

The bedroom is particularly spacious and enjoys a wonderfully relaxed feel. A charming bay area provides the perfect spot for a reading chair or occasional seating area, creating a peaceful sanctuary away from the bustle of daily life. Additional natural light streams through a Velux window, whilst useful built-in storage enhances practicality. The thoughtful layout of the apartment creates a flowing, almost circular arrangement, adding to the sense of space throughout.

Outside, one of the property’s most valuable attributes is found to the rear. Accessed via a private driveway, the apartment benefits from its own garage —an exceptionally rare and highly prized feature within Southwold town centre.

Offered with a share of the freehold and no onward chain, the property also presents the opportunity to acquire much of the existing furniture and contents by separate negotiation, allowing a purchaser to begin enjoying the Southwold lifestyle from day one. A new boiler is due to be fitted by the beginning of July.
