Marlborough Road, Southwold, Suffolk, IP18

Perfectly positioned in the heart of Southwold and enjoying delightful partial sea views towards the southeast, this impressive ground-floor apartment offers the ease and practicality of single-level living, creating a rare opportunity for those seeking a coastal retreat that feels more akin to a bungalow.

With generous proportions, character features and excellent potential for modernisation, the property presents a superb lifestyle opportunity equally suited as a full-time residence, an elegant bolt hole or a lucrative holiday let.

The apartment is approached via a light and welcoming communal lobby, featuring attractive architectural detailing and a timber panel entrance door with fan light above. From here, access is provided into the main communal hall, with a further door leading to the breezeway offering convenient direct access to the garden without passing through the apartment itself.

A part-glazed door opens into the private hallway, where a ground-floor cloakroom with WC and wash-hand basin is positioned immediately to the right.

The internal accommodation unfolds from a central hall, leading into the heart of the home a generously proportioned kitchen diner with notably high ceilings, enhancing the sense of space and light.

Fitted with a comprehensive range of base and eye-level units with matching work surfaces and tiled splashbacks, the kitchen includes an inset one-and-a-half sink and drainer, plumbing for a washing machine, inset gas hob and double electric oven, making it both practical and sociable.

Beyond, the principal reception room is an elegant and well-balanced living space, centred around a charming bay window to the front which captures a partial sea view.

A feature chimney breast with inset gas fire provides a natural focal point, while a substantial understairs storage cupboard measuring approximately six feet deep offers excellent practicality.

The bedrooms are quietly positioned towards the rear of the property.

The first is a well-sized double with a window through to the garden room, while the second enjoys a double aspect and benefits from an extensive range of built-in wardrobes, over-bed storage and side cabinets.

At the far end, the double-aspect wet room is fitted with a large electric shower and floor drain, pedestal wash-hand basin and close-coupled WC.

A conservatory/garden room leads directly off the kitchen, creating a bright transitional space between indoors and out, and opening onto a private garden with timber shed to the rear.

The breezeway connects conveniently via a side gate, ensuring easy external access.

Offered with vacant possession, the apartment combines generous accommodation, character and considerable scope for enhancement presenting an exciting opportunity to craft a bespoke coastal home.
