North Road, Southwold, IP18

Built in 1895, this striking and substantial Victorian house is perfect for larger families. Set in a private shingle lane overlooking the marshes, the property enjoys far reaching views over the coast and sea from the top floors. Entered via an inviting hallway, the main reception room is 25 feet long and features an Adams style fire surround making a lovely focal point for the room, and much like the rest of the property, there are lovely sash casement windows letting in plenty of light. With doors opening into a large solid roof conservatory to the rear it is the ideal home for entertaining. Across the other side of the hall is a family room/snug which offers double aspect views with a deep bay window to the front. The kitchen diner is a great space for keen cooks offering plenty of space for preparation and a sizeable table. Fitted with a bespoke range of timber base and eye level units, these can be repainted to suit a buyer’s tastes. Doors lead to the garden and to the Utility room set at the side of the house. A ground floor shower room with underfloor heating completes the ground floor accommodation. Moving up to the first floor you discover a further shower room and two double bedrooms both offering built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom has a lovely period fireplace and connects to a large bathroom which acts as an en-suite but also connects with the landing. The roll top bath has a lovely sense of decadence, and the fireplace gives the room a lot of character. On the top floor are two further bedrooms which offer some lovely views over the sea and marshes, these are conveniently served by a further shower room. The rear garden is a delight and has been impressively landscaped by the current owner. To the side is a large area perfect for a patio set, there is a gate which connects to the front drive. The remainder of the garden has been set out in a formal arrangement of beds with interconnecting paths. In one corner is a charming, covered patio with intricate metal work. The beds are well-stocked with a lovely selection of mature shrubs and perennials. A converted boat house gives buyers a great area to use as they please, fully insulated with power, light and Velux windows it would make a great studio, or with planning permission you have scope for an annex or holiday let for those looking for an income stream.
