Marlborough Road, Southwold, Suffolk, IP18

From the moment you walk through the door, this characterful house offers a lovely homely feel and wonderfully flexible accommodation for larger families, or for those needing the space to work from home. The property benefits from an open-plan sitting room and dining room, which makes a reception area just under thirty feet in length perfect for entertaining large parties. To the front, is a large bay window and a door to the rear leads out from the dining area. An imposing fireplace with a carved surround makes for a great focal point to the room. The dining area will take a substantial table and also has a handy store cupboard to one side. Extended at the rear to create extra accommodation, there is a 27 foot long kitchen/breakfast room which benefits from a larder cupboard. This area of the house offers considerable potential to buyers, with a utility room and WC adjoining the kitchen leading on to the garden. We imagine some buyers may wish to re-work the space (S.T.P) to create the style of property they desire. The first floor offers the principle bedroom set at the front of the house. Not only is there a wide bay window giving views out over the sea, there is also a balcony set to one side. Served by a pullman en-suite shower room, and being nearly twenty feet across it is a magnificent room. There are two sizeable double bedrooms also on this level served by a bathroom with a separate WC. The top floor offers a wonderful bedroom at the front which has twin doors out on to a second balcony which enjoys great views towards the sea. There is another double bedroom to the rear and both are served by shower room for convenience. Outside, there is a pretty courtyard style garden to the rear, bordered by tall walls giving a high degree of seclusion. Laying predominately to the west, it is the perfect sun trap for afternoons and evenings, and benefits from an access gate to a passage behind the property. At the front of the property is a store perfect for bikes or beach equipment. With charm in abundance, this is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the town’s fine villas.
