Southwold

A charming beautifully presented Grade II Listed cottage, situated in the heart of Southwold's Conservation Area, a few paces from the common, sea front and beach of this renowned coastal town. Occupying a prominent position on the Suffolk Heritage Coast a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Southwold has an excellent range of boutique and High Street shops, and is set around numerous greens and bordered by a large common. Southwold has a sandy beach with a pier, and the promenade is lined with colourful beach huts. To the south of the town lies the River Blyth and Southwold harbour, beyond which is the coastal village of Walberswick. The surrounding area and coastline is renowned for its leisure pursuits which include the RSPB Reserve at Minsmere.

Description - Park Lane Cottage is a delightful Grade II Listed period home, featuring attractive brick elevations beneath a traditional clay pan-tiled roof. Perfectly positioned in one of Southwold’s most sought-after locations, the cottage is just a stone’s throw from Southwold Common and within easy walking distance of South Green and the seafront.

Brimming with character and charm, the property offers beautifully appointed, well-planned accommodation. From Park Lane, the entrance hall leads into a splendid double-aspect sitting room with classic sash windows, bespoke cabinetry and shelving flanking an impressive fireplace with a wood-burning stove.

A second reception room—currently used as a dining room—also features a fireplace and opens through casement doors to a secluded, cobbled, walled courtyard garden. The kitchen, which overlooks the courtyard, is fitted with bespoke units and integrated appliances, with a stable door offering direct access back to Park Lane.

Upstairs, the galleried landing leads to an elegant principal bedroom enjoying far-reaching coastal views, along with a second bedroom and a family bathroom. A ground-floor shower room completes the layout of this truly enchanting seaside cottage.
