About
Positioned in one of Southwold’s most sought-after settings, just moments from the seafront, this charming, detached home offers an exceptional coastal lifestyle.
Combining generous and flexible accommodation the property presents an enviable opportunity as both a permanent residence and an effortless seaside retreat.
Set back in a prominent yet discreet position, the house immediately evokes a sense of calm, offering a welcome contrast to the vibrant energy of nearby coastal life.
The spacious entrance hall sets the tone, leading through to a beautifully proportioned sitting room where a triple aspect floods the space with natural light.
Double doors open directly onto the garden, creating a seamless connection between inside and out—ideal for relaxed summer living.
At the heart of the home lies a sociable kitchen/dining space, perfectly arranged for both everyday living and entertaining.
The dining area comfortably accommodates larger gatherings, while the shaker-style kitchen, finished in soft pastel tones with contrasting work surfaces, provides a timeless and elegant backdrop.
Practicality is equally well considered, with a separate utility room linking through to the garage—currently part-converted to offer a versatile games room yet retaining the flexibility for storage or parking depending on one’s needs.
Upstairs, four well-balanced bedrooms provide comfortable and adaptable accommodation.
The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite, while the remaining rooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
A further fifth room, is perfectly suited for a home working space or nursery.
The proportions throughout make the property equally suited to family occupation or hosting guests, reinforcing its versatility.
Outside, the rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a private and low-maintenance haven.
A patio area invites al fresco dining, while a lawn bordered by mature trees and shrubs provides both greenery and seclusion—perfect for unwinding after a day by the sea.
Manageable in size, the garden complements the property’s appeal as a lock-up-and-leave, without compromising on enjoyment.
Currently operated as a successful holiday let, the property offers immediate income potential, with the option to continue existing bookings or transition seamlessly into private use.
Offered with vacant possession, it provides flexibility and readiness for a swift move.
