High Street, Southwold, Suffolk, IP18

Charming and Spacious Home in the Heart of Southwold.

Set in a wonderfully central position in Southwold, this charming period home enjoys a prominent location within the conservation area moments from the town’s boutique shops, cafés, and the seafront beyond.

Once two separate dwellings, the property has been thoughtfully combined to create a characterful and deceptively spacious home that perfectly blends period charm with coastal practicality. The accommodation opens into a delightful double-aspect reception room, beautifully appointed with timber floors, exposed beams, and a feature fireplace complete with log-burning stove — creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

To the rear, the kitchen is compact yet full of character, featuring an array of base and wall units with timber work surfaces and access out to the private courtyard garden. The dining room, with its tall sash window and angled walls, provides a light and airy setting for entertaining or family gatherings.

Upstairs, there are three comfortable bedrooms, each with their own charm, served by a well-presented family bathroom with shower. Outside, the property enjoys a communal courtyard, complete with three practical storage sheds — one currently used as a utility area — and a separate workshop and store. Beyond lies the low maintenance garden, predominantly laid to lawn with well-stocked borders of coastal style shrubs and perennials, a summer house, and a suntrap patio, offering a tranquil retreat in the heart of town.

Perfect as a full-time residence, a “lock up and leave” coastal retreat, or an investment opportunity, this individual cottage combines convenience, charm, and versatility in equal measure. The property is offered with no onward chain with a garage available in Pier Avenue by separate negotiation.
