Description
Set within strolling distance of a popular pub with views over the estuary and nestled perfectly to enjoy the spectacular Suffolk Heritage Coast, this enchanting detached cottage offers a rare blend of historic charm and contemporary living.
Dating back to 1847, the property boasts a wealth of architectural detailing, with flint and brick elevations, vossured arches, and brick quoining that provide an unmistakable sense of place and permanence. Behind the cottage’s storybook façade lies a beautifully presented home—equally suited as a full-time residence, coastal bolthole, or high-quality holiday let.
Step inside, and the sense of character continues. A wonderfully atmospheric double-aspect reception room greets you at the front, with beamed ceilings, spot lighting, and a central fireplace with timber mantel adding warmth and rustic elegance. The space is intelligently arranged with a dining area adjacent to the understairs cupboard, while a staircase leads invitingly to the first floor. A doorway flows into a sleek, light-filled kitchen, featuring cream gloss cabinetry and contrasting work surfaces, all beneath a striking saltbox gable roof with a Velux window that bathes the room in natural light. Double doors open onto a private side terrace, perfect for dining al fresco or simply enjoying the tranquillity of the setting. A cleverly designed utility space and ground floor cloakroom offer practicality without compromising the home’s charming aesthetic.
Upstairs, the cottage continues to delight with a spacious double bedroom and a neatly appointed shower room, while the landing features a decorative ancon arch over the stairs with quatrefoil detailing—a nod to the property’s historical roots.
Outside, the gardens offer a peaceful sanctuary, with mature hedging, colourful planting, and secluded sitting areas. From the terraced patio bordered by perennials, a gate leads to a shingled driveway providing parking for two vehicles. The front garden, set behind timber sleepers and enclosed by fencing, adds further kerb appeal with its cottage planting and suntrap terrace.
Perfectly positioned to enjoy the very best of the Heritage Coast, the property is just a short drive from the beaches at Southwold, Walberswick and Dunwich, with scenic walks, nature reserves, and charming coastal villages all within easy reach. This is a home that not only tells a story, but invites you to live one.
This delightful cottage embodies all the charm of a bygone era, beautifully enhanced for modern living, and offers a perfect base from which to explore one of the UK’s most celebrated coastal landscapes.
