A Tranquil Retreat in the Heart of Reydon

Set within the picturesque village of Reydon, just a short stroll from the local pub and within easy reach of Southwold and the heritage coast, this charming bungalow offers a wonderful blend of country peace and coastal connection. It is the sort of home where weekends flow easily from mornings in the garden, to afternoons by the sea, before returning to the secluded garden with the bi-folding doors letting the evening air drift through.

A sizeable shingle driveway framed by mature planting sets the scene, providing both privacy and a true sense of arrival. Inside, the home is arranged with thought and care: the bedrooms sit quietly to the front, while the living areas open up across the rear to embrace the garden. The hallway is light and inviting and offers proportions suitable for those living with disabilities.

The heart of the house is the generous open plan reception room which benefits from part vaulted ceilings. Here, bi-folding doors create a seamless connection between indoors and out, opening onto the terrace and making this the perfect space for entertaining in summer. To one side a sleek and contemporary kitchen is perfect for keen chefs offering built in appliances to include a double oven, integrated hob, dishwasher and a space for a fridge freezer. The utility room with garden access is a useful addition.

The three bedrooms are well-matched and spacious. Bedroom two has floor to ceiling built in wardrobes set to one wall. The principal bedroom suite is particularly spacious and benefits form a well-appointed en-suite shower room. The two other bedrooms are served by the family bathroom which comprises a matched white suite, panel enclosed bath with attractively tiles walls, along with a wide wash hand basin with a vanity unit under.

Outside, the gardens wrap around the property, thoughtfully planted with mature hedging, flowering borders and seating areas that invite you to enjoy the sun at different times of day. To the side of the proeprty is a detached garage. A timber store and log shelter add to the appeal, while the overall atmosphere is one of calm, space and possibility.

This is a home that lends itself as much to a permanent residence as to a weekend retreat — a place to savour the best of village life, the beauty of the Suffolk countryside, and the draw of the heritage coast.
