Cavell Close, Bawdsey, IP12

An exceptional, energy-efficient coastal bungalow offering more than 1,500 sq ft of single-storey accommodation, set within a private road in the sought-after village of Bawdsey, Suffolk, near Woodbridge.

Fully upgraded in recent years, the property combines high-performance energy credentials with a modern internal finish and a thoughtfully designed layout suited to both family living and downsizing without compromise. With an EPC rating of A, solar panels across both roof aspects, a Tesla Powerwall battery system, and EV charging, helping to reduce reliance on grid energy and support lower running costs.

The accommodation is well balanced. At the heart of the home is a generous kitchen and dining room, extending over 24 ft in length, providing a bright and practical space for everyday living and entertaining. This is complemented by a separate sitting room with direct access to the garden, offering a more relaxed and private setting.

The bedroom arrangement is particularly flexible, with three well-proportioned bedrooms, each benefiting from built-in wardrobes, together with a separate dedicated study providing useful home-working or occasional guest space. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite shower room, while one of the other bedrooms is currently arranged as a dressing room, demonstrating the flexibility of the layout, but can readily be returned to bedroom use. A family bathroom and separate WC serve the remaining accommodation.

A useful utility room completes the layout, ensuring the property is as practical as it is attractive.

Externally, the property continues to stand out, with a genuinely wraparound landscaped garden rather than a standard rear plot, reflecting an investment of approximately £50,000. A substantial main entertaining patio provides an ideal space for barbecues and entertaining, complemented by a separate semi-circular seating area, a side garden, rear lawn and raised planting surrounding the property, each zone designed to maximise privacy and usability throughout the day. Secure gated access is provided on both sides of the property.

To the front, a substantial driveway offers extensive parking for numerous vehicles, further enhanced by the quiet and private road position. Useful secure side areas and sheds provide additional covered storage, ideal for motorbikes, bicycles or outdoor equipment, while the garage and driveway area also offer potential for further flexibility in future, subject to planning and any other necessary consents.

Bawdsey sits within the Suffolk Coast & Heaths National Landscape, on the River Deben Peninsula, and offers a genuinely distinctive coastal lifestyle. The village winds down to Bawdsey Quay, with its small tidal beach and pretty period cottages, many originally built for the historic Bawdsey Manor estate — itself famous as an early site of wartime radar development. From the quay, a seasonal foot ferry (April to October) crosses the River Deben to Felixstowe Ferry in around five minutes, opening up further coastal walks and amenities on the other side, while the Suffolk Coast Path leads directly from the village through open countryside and unspoilt coastline. The nearby market town of Woodbridge provides a wider range of amenities, schooling and rail links, making this an ideal balance between coastal village life and everyday convenience.

The current maintenance charge is £900 per annum, payable in two instalments of £450 in April and October. This covers maintenance of the private road, the sewage treatment plant and its electricity costs, together with gardening works to the communal areas of Cavell Close.
