East Street, Southwold

An opportunity to acquire the freehold of this apartment and retail premises situated in the perfect location on East Street just off the market place, a short stroll from the sea front and Common.

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 pier and the promenade is lined with colourful beach huts. At 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 - Walton House is a charming and characterful period home arranged over several floors, tucked away behind a gated passageway opening into a private courtyard and welcoming conservatory entrance. Rich in architectural detail and enjoying glimpses towards the sea, this elegant property combines generous accommodation with timeless period charm.

The house is entered via a timber and double glazed conservatory leading into an entrance hall with staircase rising to the first floor, where a stylish shower room with large walk-in shower is positioned on the half landing. The principal reception rooms are beautifully proportioned, including an impressive sitting room with high ceilings, part timber-panelled walls and an imposing fireplace with marble surround. A large bay window frames attractive views along East Street past the Lord Nelson towards the sea.

From the landing, a doorway opens into a delightful dining room with sash window to the rear and built-in bench seating, creating a warm and sociable entertaining space. Beyond lies a generously sized kitchen fitted with an extensive range of units, polished stone work surfaces and integrated appliances, while a vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers and roof lights enhances the sense of space and character.

A further reception room, currently arranged as a bedroom, mirrors the elegance of the sitting room with its bay window, timber-panelled walls and cast iron fireplace, again enjoying views along the street towards the sea.

The second floor provides three well-proportioned double bedrooms arranged around a polished timber-floored landing, two of the bedrooms retaining attractive ornamental cast iron fireplaces. An elegant family bathroom serves this floor, while a cosy snug or TV room tucked within the eaves offers an additional retreat.
