Southwold is a wonderful destination for friends and family looking to combine seaside charm with great food, sweeping scenery and memorable days out. From this stylish contemporary home, you can leave the car behind and stroll into the heart of town, where shops, cafes, pubs and excellent restaurants line the streets. The coastline invites exploration, whether you're wandering along the beach, following the promenade or catching the foot ferry across the river to the picturesque village of Walberswick. Here, you can enjoy walks through the Suffolk Coast and Heaths National Landscape, try your hand at crabbing around the harbour or simply soak up the surroundings. Wildlife enthusiasts can venture 12 miles along the coast to RSPB Minsmere. Alternatively, explore the castle at Framlingham (20 miles), uncover the Anglo-Saxon treasures of Sutton Hoo (27 miles), or head to Beccles (15 miles) and Bungay (17 miles) on the edge of the Broads National Park.
Beautifully crafted to an exceptional standard, this architect-designed home captures the essence of Suffolk living, with uninterrupted sea views to the front and tranquil marshland vistas stretching behind. Its elevated position creates a dramatic backdrop for memorable stays in Southwold. Enter through the front door into a welcoming hallway with practical boot and coat storage, making it easy to return from days spent exploring the beach, harbour and winding seaside paths. The ground floor is home to three elegant bedrooms; each finished with contemporary style and comfort in mind. The impressive main suite includes a luxurious super-king-size bed, a cosy seating area, generous wardrobe storage, and French doors opening onto the garden. Its well-appointed en-suite bathroom includes a bath, a large walk-in shower, underfloor heating, and a heated towel rail for a touch of indulgence. The second bedroom has twin single beds, ideally suited to family or friends sharing, while the third bedroom features another sumptuous super-king-size bed. Both rooms open through French doors onto the garden, where calm marshland views greet you each morning. A modern family shower room with a double basin and walk-in shower serves these bedrooms, alongside a separate cloakroom. The utility room, fitted with a washing machine and tumble dryer, adds convenience for longer visits. Also downstairs is an inviting sitting room designed for evenings together. Sink into the comfortable sofas, catch up with a film on the Smart TV, or gather at the bar area for drinks before dinner. A charming seating nook creates a quiet corner for coffee and conversation, while wide sliding doors connect the room with the garden. Upstairs, the striking open-plan living area showcases the home’s remarkable coastal position. The sleek kitchen is fitted with an electric oven and hob, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, coffee machine and breakfast bar, making it simple to prepare everything from relaxed breakfasts to celebratory meals. The adjoining dining area seats six guests and opens onto the spacious sun terrace, where alfresco dining for eight and comfortable furniture make the most of the sea views. With both east and west facing sun terraces, you can start the day with the sunrise and a morning beverage followed by amazing sunsets with your sundowner.
Outside, the enclosed rear garden overlooks the marshes, creating a tranquil retreat for guests. Cook summer meals on the charcoal BBQ, enjoy friendly competitions on the petanque court, or wash away the sand after a beach day using the outdoor shower. The west-facing garden is a wonderful spot for morning sunshine and wildlife watching across the wetlands.
