The buyer of this home will want to be on good terms with their neighbours.

The two-bedroom terrace in the seaside town of Southwold in Suffolk, England, has hit the market and has a rather unusual floorplan detail.

As stated on the listing, the bathroom can only be accessed externally and is “attached to the far side of the neighbouring property”.

An auction has been scheduled for August 15. The price guide is £230,000 to £250,000 ($AU452,206 to $AU491,528).

The property contains a sitting room and kitchen on the ground floor and two bedrooms on the first floor.

Due to the rather unusual layout, the listing suggests the buyer could transform one of the bedrooms into a bathroom.

It’s also revealed on the listing that the neighbour previously made an offer to buy the bathroom, and should the buyer wish to do so, the agents will happily pass on their details.

The terrace is described as “compact” on the listing, and it’s clear to see why with a total floor area of about 33.7 square metres.

For comparison, the smallest homes in Australia are in Tasmania with an average floor area of 182.4 square metres, based on data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics for the 2022 financial year.

The property has remained in the one family for decades and could be a forever home, a holiday rental or Airbnb.
