Aldeburgh, Suffolk

A substantial 1960s bungalow set within approx. 1.25-acres of established gardens and grounds close to the Golf Club

Two double bedrooms • Generous reception accommodation • Garage • Covered parking • Extensive gardens and meadow • Excellent potential

Roos is a substantial two-bedroom 1960s bungalow occupying an exceptional plot extending to approximately 1.25 acres S.T.S. The property stands towards the rear of its grounds and enjoys a peaceful and established setting, with extensive gardens, lawns, mature planting and a meadow extending near the edge of the watering pond.

The house was built on the site of what was formerly the 17th Green of Aldeburgh Golf Course, with the remains of the original bunker still evident within the front lawn. A pedestrian path opposite the property’s entrance leads towards the golf course.

The property is now dated and would benefit from updating and modernisation, but offers well-proportioned accommodation, generous windows and considerable scope to create a highly individual home in a particularly attractive setting.

The accommodation is approached via a spacious entrance hall with cloakroom. The generous sitting room has a large picture window, a mellow red-brick fireplace houses a Jetmaster-style fireplace and is complemented by extensive built-in bookshelves.

The sitting room opens through to the dining room and sitting area to enjoy the garden. The dining room is triple-aspect with large windows and patio doors opening onto the terrace and gardens. Together, these rooms provide a particularly pleasant connection between the house and its surroundings.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of base and wall units, together with a gas hob, oven and stainless-steel sink and drainer.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged separately from the main reception rooms. The principal bedroom is a generous double with a large picture window overlooking the gardens, built-in wardrobes
and an en suite bathroom comprising panelled bath, low-level WC and pedestal wash basin.

The second bedroom is also a generous double room with views over the garden and is served by the adjacent family shower room. The shower room also incorporates plumbing and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

A useful store cupboard is located within the bedroom wing, whilst a further door from the main hall leads to a lobby providing access to the outside, garage and boiler room.

The property benefits from gas-fired central heating to radiators.

Outside
The grounds are undoubtedly one of the principal features of Roos.
The property is approached through a five-bar gate leading to a generous gravelled parking and turning area. There is also a substantial covered parking area providing ample space for several vehicles.

The garage has an up-and-over door and has been partially shortened to create a useful wine store, with the remaining area providing practical garden and bicycle storage.
Roos occupies a position towards the rear of its approximately 1.25-acre plot, allowing the gardens and grounds to extend extensively around the house. The grounds have been established over many years and include extensive planting, mature fruit trees, shrubs and roses, together with broad areas of lawn.
Part of the garden is an attractive meadow-style with a path running through it, which creates a wonderful sense of space and provides a varied and informal character to the grounds.
Immediately adjoining the house is a sunny terrace, with a summerhouse positioned towards the end of the property. A further terrace lies outside the dining room, providing an excellent area for outdoor dining and entertaining.
