Detached house for sale in North Road, Southwold IP18

Summary
A rare opportunity to acquire a period detached family home in Southwold, with easy access to all local amenities and the popular Southwold beach and pier. Set back within a private road, we recommend a viewing of this property to fully appreciate its size and unique offering.

Description
We are delighted to be offering this extremely rare to market period detached house within a stones throw of the beach, set within a private road within Southwold.

Upon entering the property you immediately grasp a feel for the character throughout, with a beautiful stained glass entrance door being your first glimpse into the Edwardian features to follow. The generous entrance lobby provides access into the first reception room, currently utilised as a sitting room by the current owners, with vast amounts of light from the front of the property and stairs to first floor with storage underneath. Upon looking up to the stairs, which have a unique newell post, you will notice the beautiful raised mouldings on the ceiling, kept immaculately since being originally added upon the property being built in 1912. A log burner is at the heart of this room, making it the perfect spot on those colder evenings. The sitting room provides access into all further reception rooms, the first being a living room to the front of the house, again benefiting from a log burner as the main feature of the room, along with picture rail surrounds plus dado rails throughout in keeping with the period of the home. The internal hallway then provides access to the further downstairs space, including a cloakroom, additional living room with original fireplace currently housing a gas fire, and the large open plan kitchen/diner with the added advantage and rarity of a walk in pantry plus utility room.

Location
Southwold is a charming north Suffolk seaside town on the Suffolk Heritage Coast. Almost an island, being bounded by the North Sea to the East, by the River Blyth and Southwold harbour to the South–West and by Buss Creek to the North, there is just the one road in to and out of Southwold, approached through neighbouring Reydon.

The town offers much of interest, but it is the sea and Southwold’s links with it that make this a wonderful destination at any time of the year. Come and sample the Southwold sea air! All the attractions of the working lighthouse, beach huts, award-winning pier, busy harbour, cliff top cannon and of course the beach, combine to make Southwold a quintessentially English resort town.
