Ballygate, Beccles

A beautifully restored link-detached Victorian townhouse dating back to 1867, Cliff House unfolds across three impressive floors and is complemented by a detached one-bedroom annex, all just a short stroll from the heart of the town of Beccles.

Having been the subject of an extensive and sympathetic refurbishment, with access available from both Ballygate and Puddingmoor, this is a truly exceptional opportunity to own a distinguished piece of Beccles' architectural heritage.

Perfectly positioned, Cliff House enjoys the rare privilege of combining the convenience of a central location with captivating rear views stretching across the River Waveney and the surrounding countryside. It is a setting that effortlessly balances town living with a remarkable sense of peace and outlook.

Extending to approximately 2,400 sq. ft. in the principal residence alone, the home offers an abundance of beautifully proportioned living space, with potentially six bedrooms arranged over three floors to provide exceptional flexibility for modern family life. The ground floor is centred around an elegant sitting room, complete with a characterful wood-burning stove, before flowing through to a superb kitchen and dining room where contemporary finishes sit harmoniously alongside the home's period features. A second wood-burning stove enhances the welcoming atmosphere, creating an ideal space for both everyday living and entertaining. The first floor hosts three generous bedrooms and the family bathroom, while the principal suite enjoys the luxury of a private dressing area and en-suite shower room. The lower ground floor provides one main bedroom with two further rooms that can be used as further bedrooms, together with a well-appointed utility room and separate shower room, offering excellent versatility for growing families, guests or home working.

Beyond the main house, the detached annex presents an outstanding addition to the property, featuring an open-plan living and kitchen area, a spacious double bedroom, shower room and utility, all benefiting from its own independent entrance. To the side of the annex is a bike/storage area. Outside, the beautifully landscaped rear garden has been thoughtfully designed for low-maintenance enjoyment, with an expansive patio perfectly positioned for al fresco dining while making the most of the stunning river views. Secure gated access from Puddingmoor leads to the property's off-road parking, completing this remarkable home.
