Location
2 Church Lane is located down a small lane, opposite the church, in the pretty coastal village of Walberswick. It is well known for its unspoilt sand and shingle beach, grassy dunes and surrounding heathland. It boasts tea rooms, public houses, a village shop and art gallery. A foot ferry operates during the summer months, taking walkers and holiday makers to the popular town of Southwold.
Southwold is home to a thriving high street, numerous pubs and restaurants, a harbour, beach and pier. The coastline either side of the town is amongst the most unspoilt in the country, while the surrounding countryside of the Suffolk Heritage Coast is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and includes such attractions as Dunwich Forest, RSPB nature reserve at Minsmere, Henham Park and the Benacre and Covehithe Broads.
There are further local amenities in Halesworth (9 miles to the west) and Lowestoft (18 miles to the north), with all the facilities one would expect from a larger town. Both also offer access to branch line rail services running to the county town of Ipswich and beyond to London Liverpool Street.

3. In the unlikely situation of our client considering an offer prior to auction, a premium price would have to be put forward and the purchaser would be required to sign the contract and put down a 10% deposit and pay the Buyers Administration Charge, well in advance of the auction date. An offer will not be considered unless a potential buyer has read the legal pack and is in a position to immediately sign the contract. The seller is under no obligation to accept such an offer. It should be noted that Clarke and Simpson cannot keep all interested parties updated and at times will be instructed to accept an offer and exchange contracts without going back to any other parties first. Please note that in this instance Flagship have stated that the property will be sold by auction only.
