Description

Situated in a desirable position on Crag Path, along from the RNLI lifeboat station, the Victorian seaside house has been remodelled into a striking contemporary home. It is thought that Edinburgh House used to be a casino when the Duke of Edinburgh frequented Aldeburgh due to a passion for sailing, around the 1870s. There remains a photo of the Duke of Edinburgh in the house today. The house was also owned by the author Ruth Rendell, more commonly known as the 'Queen of Crime', whose books reflected her love and knowledge of Suffolk. 1994's 'No Night is Too Long' is said to be set partly in the house next door, called 'The Tall House' in the book.

Edinburgh House was designed by the award-winning London-based Azman Architects, renown for their contemporary designs and restoration of period properties. The renovations were completed in 2012 and now feature handmade Moroccan tiles across the open plan ground floor, which is flooded with natural light and has enhanced views of the sea and coastline. The new roof light above the statement staircase provides more natural lighting to the hallway as well as the large bay windows and mint green and blue theme throughout, connecting the house to the surroundings.

The ground floor is a bright open plan design with only a row of subtle thin pillars sectioning off the kitchen dining room and living area. On the first floor there are five bedrooms and a family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and benefit from incredible sea views, which are also enjoyed from the bathrooms as well.

The garage has recently been converted to an annexe over two floors, with a kitchenette, sitting room, double bed and shower room. The courtyard to the front of the house is framed and sheltered by shrubs and provides a sun trap for alfresco dining.


Edinburgh House is located on the seafront of the charming coastal town of Aldeburgh, with stunning views and a stone's throw from the beach. The popular high street features a range of independent shops, boutiques, galleries, restaurants and a cinema. In Aldeburgh and only a short walk away are a range of pubs and the popular The Suffolk and Brudenell restaurants. In nearby towns are Watson and Walepole (Framlingham), The Unruly Pig (Bromeswell) and The Swan Hotel (Southwold). Aldeburgh is also home to Fishers Gin Distillery, offering tours and tastings from their seafront bar.

The town is situated within the Suffolk Heritage Coast, an area of outstanding natural beauty and is connected by a network of public footpaths. Sporting amenities nearby include one of the oldest maritime heathland Golf Courses, sailing at the Aldeburgh Yaght Club and water sports.

Aldeburgh is 8 miles away from the nearest station in Saxmundham, with services to Ipswich and London Liverpool Street. The A12 is a 15 minute drive, via Snape, which allows direct access to London or further up the coast towards Lowestoft and Norfolk.
Snape, home to the popular Snape Maltings which hosts the Aldeburgh Music Festival, and Woodbridge, the picturesque market
town, are within a short drive and provide an array of services and activities. Orford, Southwold and Thorpeness are other seaside
towns locally, with Thorpeness only being a 30 minute walk along the beach past the famous 'Scallop' statue.

There are numerous good schools in the area in both the public and private sector. Notably, Framlingham School, Thomas Mills High School, Woodbridge School, Farlingaye High School and St Felix School nearby. Further afield there is Ipswich School, Ipswich High School and Royal Hospital School.
