Property Description - An exceptional detached Edwardian residence enjoying one of Thorpeness’ most coveted positions, with uninterrupted views across the Mere.
Dating from the 1910s, this beautifully presented four-bedroom detached home occupies an enviable setting overlooking the iconic Thorpeness Mere. Combining period charm with generous, versatile accommodation, the property offers an idyllic coastal lifestyle in one of Suffolk’s most sought-after villages.
Outside - The property is approached via a neatly maintained front lawn, enclosed by an attractive black timber fence. A raised, decked pathway leads to the front entrance, providing the perfect spot for outdoor seating — ideal for relaxing while taking in the glorious, uninterrupted views across the Mere.
To the rear, the landscaped garden is arranged over tiered levels, offering a wonderful balance of lawned areas, patio space and practical storage. The upper levels provide additional parking, while gated side access connects the front and rear gardens on both sides of the house, adding both convenience and privacy.

The dining room is generously proportioned and currently accommodates both an eight-seater dining table and a desk area. It benefits from two radiators and patio doors opening directly onto the rear garden.
Kitchen & Secondary Reception - The kitchen centres around a striking Aga and is served by a gas boiler. A range of base and eye-level units provide ample storage. Open internal windows connect the kitchen to the second reception room, creating an open-plan feel while retaining defined spaces.
