North Green, Southwold, Suffolk, IP18

A spacious and versatile family home enjoying an enviable position overlooking North Green, with a beautifully established garden, generous parking and excellent potential for modernisation.

Occupying an attractive position overlooking the ornamental planting and established hedging of North Green, this substantial family home enjoys one of Southwold’s most appealing settings.

Approached via a communal driveway, the property is set back from the road and benefits from private off-road parking immediately in front, together with an integral garage.

The house offers generous and unusually flexible accommodation arranged over two floors, although it now presents an exciting opportunity for a new owner to modernise and update the interiors to their own taste.

The scale of the accommodation, together with its excellent layout and established gardens, provides an ideal canvas from which to create a particularly special Southwold home. A welcoming entrance opens into a large and impressive hallway, from which the principal reception spaces are accessed.

To the front is a generous sitting room, enjoying the outlook towards North Green, while to the rear is a further reception room which could work equally well as a dining room, family room or informal sitting space. This in turn flows through to the garden room, creating a lovely connection with the rear garden and providing an additional area in which to relax or entertain. Double doors lead from the garden room into the kitchen, which can also be accessed directly from the hallway. The kitchen is fitted with a range of timber-fronted wall and base units beneath contrasting work surfaces, together with a central island providing further storage. A wide bay window overlooks the rear garden, ensuring this is a bright and pleasant space with a lovely connection to the outside. A substantial utility room wraps around the kitchen and extends along the side of the property, providing excellent practical storage and workspace. Also on the ground floor is a useful cloakroom incorporating a shower, an especially practical feature for a home in Southwold, whether returning from a day on the beach or after
walking the dog along the coast. The ground floor is completed by the integral garage.

Upstairs, a spacious landing gives access to four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly generous and benefits from extensive wardrobe provision together with a separate walk-in storage area. A further bedroom also has a wall of fitted wardrobes incorporating vanity units, while the rear bedroom is an exceptionally spacious room with additional fitted storage and its own en suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.

Outside, the rear garden is a particular highlight. A patio immediately adjoining the house provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, with steps leading up to an area of lawn and a pathway continuing towards the rear. The garden has been thoughtfully landscaped with mature perennial borders, established shrubs and a mixture of deciduous and evergreen trees, creating a peaceful and secluded environment.

Despite its central Southwold position, the garden enjoys a pleasing degree of privacy and feels wonderfully removed from the everyday. Offered to the market with no onward chain, this is an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a substantial home in such an appealing part of Southwold. While requiring a degree of modernisation, the property offers the space, flexibility and setting to create a wonderful family house, with the coast, beach and attractions of Southwold all close at hand.
