Park Lane, Southwold, Suffolk, IP18

This delightful Grade II listed house was once the home to James Maggs: a local school master and auctioneer renowned for his Southwold Diaries written in the early 1800’s.

The property dates to the late 1700’s with a charming reworking of the rear of the property subsequently to offer double storey overhanging bay windows. There is a sizeable hall entrance with a large under-stairs cupboard.

The main reception room benefits from having been opened through from its original two room configuration to make a modern living space. To the front of the room there is a large fireplace making a lovely focal point to the room. There is plenty of light coming into the room from the wide bay window set at the rear which offers garden views.

The kitchen is fitted with a bespoke, handmade range of base and eye level units finished in a warm cream hue with arch detailing. An opening leads through to a sunny breakfast/dining room which has double doors opening on to the garden and a feature fireplace.

Upstairs, there is a landing with display shelves which leads to the two double bedrooms. The front bedroom measures seventeen feet in length and has an over-stairs cupboard and a fireplace set to one wall. The second bedroom is also a generously proportioned room and offers a bay window overlooking the rear. The bathroom is sizeable and has a bull’s eye window set over the bath with a further window adjacent making it a light and pleasant room.

Outside, the rear garden is very pretty. Mainly laid to lawn, it is wall and fence enclosed to give a high degree of seclusion with mature shrubs and perennials. The property is offered with vacant possession.

Set in one of Southwold’s most desirable lanes, we strongly advise viewing in person.

We have been advised that the property has the following services. Mains water, electricity, gas fired central heating and mains drainage.
