About
*** guide price: £400,000 to £425,000 *** A rare opportunity has arisen to purchase an extended three-bedroom semi-detached house on a quiet private road in the idyllic village of Reydon just a stone’s throw from Southwold and the beach.
The property benefits from good size front and rear gardens, detached garage to the rear with double driveway in front providing off-road parking for two cars with potential to create a further driveway to the front of the property, double-glazing, and gas central heating.

A summary of the accommodation is as follows: Entrance hall, sitting room with wood burning stove, dining room, 24ft open plan kitchen / breakfast / family room, utility room / cloakroom, first floor landing, family bathroom, and three bedrooms.
