Old Priory Gardens, Wangford, Beccles, Suffolk, NR34

A stylish village home with private garden, garage and parking. Occupying a peaceful position within a small cul-de-sac in the much-loved village of Wangford, this charming home offers an appealing combination of understated style, privacy and practicality. With a beautifully secluded garden, garage and private parking, it would make an enviable coastal retreat, a sophisticated lock-up-and-leave escape or an equally comfortable permanent home, whilst also offering excellent potential as a holiday let or investment.

A pathway leads to the front door opening into a welcoming hallway with generous space for coats, boots and beach essentials. The interiors have an easy, contemporary feel, with herringbone tiled flooring running through much of the ground floor, providing both a smart finish and the practicality required for relaxed country and coastal living.

The principal living space occupies the rear of the property and is wonderfully connected to the garden. Double doors and a further window frame views across the private planting, creating a light and inviting room that lends itself equally well to quiet evenings at home or entertaining after a day exploring the coast. The garden beyond provides a natural extension of the living space during the warmer months.

The kitchen has been designed with a distinctive industrial aesthetic, incorporating stainless steel-fronted cabinetry with matching inset oven, hob, splashbacks and extractor, alongside complementary stainless steel-effect appliances. The result is a contemporary and characterful space, with the continued herringbone flooring adding a cohesive finish throughout the ground floor.

Upstairs, two generous bedrooms provide comfortable and beautifully atmospheric accommodation. Exposed strip timber flooring brings warmth and character to the first floor, creating a pleasing contrast to the more contemporary finishes below. There is a relaxed feel to this part of the house which suits its potential as a coastal escape particularly well.

The rear garden is a real highlight. Fully enclosed and enjoying an excellent degree of seclusion, it begins with a paved terrace before opening onto a level lawn, with a pathway continuing towards the rear through mature shrubs and established perennial planting. It is a wonderfully private setting for morning coffee, an al fresco lunch or a glass of wine at the end of a day beside the sea. The practicalities are equally impressive. An adjoining passageway provides access to a useful garden shed before continuing through to the rear of the garage. The garage has a Horman electric roller door and, importantly, leads through to a dedicated area of parking accessed directly from the main street — a particularly valuable asset for a coastal property.

Wangford provides a wonderful base from which to experience the Suffolk Heritage Coast, with its village store and convenience shop close at hand, with nearby amenities, including the public house, doctor's surgery, veterinary practice, and excellent bus links. A superb collection of coastal destinations lay within easy reach. Southwold, Walberswick, Dunwich and RSPB Minsmere are all readily accessible, alongside miles of beaches, footpaths and beautiful countryside.

The village itself provides a wonderfully relaxed pace of life, whilst the coast is close enough to become part of everyday living. Whether used as a private coastal sanctuary, a full-time residence or a well-positioned holiday property, this is a versatile and appealing home with an unusually strong combination of garden, garage and parking. An excellent opportunity to secure a stylish base on one of Suffolk’s most sought-after stretches of coastline. Viewing is strongly advised
