Viewings 7 days a week - view today. A striking and individual four-bedroom Scandinavian-style home, quietly positioned along a private lane near Southwold and within walking distance to the town centre and the beach. Offering approximately 2,350 sq ft of versatile living accommodation, together with a garage and separate studio, the property combines distinctive architecture, generous proportions and beautifully established gardens.

THE PROPERTY

Built in Finland and constructed using renewable Finnish timber, this is a wonderfully individual coastal home with a character quite unlike most properties found in and around Southwold.

Its Scandinavian influence is immediately apparent, from the distinctive timber exterior and Alpine-inspired windows to the extensive use of natural wood internally. The result is a house that feels warm and characterful while also being remarkably light, with generous glazing creating a strong connection between the house and its gardens.

The accommodation is both spacious and unusually versatile, arranged over two floors and providing approximately 2,350 sq ft within the main house.

At the heart of the ground floor is an impressive kitchen and dining room, extending to over 20 feet and providing plenty of space for family dining and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with a range of painted cabinetry with timber work surfaces, while a large pantry, separate utility room and WC provide excellent practical accommodation.

The sitting room is another particularly inviting space, with timber-lined walls and ceiling, wooden flooring and a wood-burning stove providing a natural focal point.

Beyond is a wonderful glazed sunroom extending across the rear of the house. Surrounded by windows and with doors opening directly onto the garden, this is a particularly light-filled part of the house and provides an excellent connection between the principal living accommodation and the outside space.

Two bedrooms are positioned on the ground floor, giving the house a particularly adaptable layout for family, guests or anyone looking for the option of predominantly single-storey living. There are also two bath/shower rooms at this level.

An open-tread timber staircase rises to the first floor, where there are two further bedrooms.

The principal bedroom is an exceptional room, measuring approximately 22'7" x 14'9", with a vaulted timber-lined ceiling, rooflights, fitted storage and a large window providing far-reaching views towards Southwold and the coast.

The remaining first-floor bedroom is also generously proportioned, while a further bathroom completes the accommodation.

OUTSIDE

The house sits comfortably within attractive and established gardens which wrap around the property, creating a particularly private and leafy setting.

The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a series of different areas, with mature planting, fruit trees and productive planting alongside several places for outdoor dining and entertaining.

Decked terraces adjoining the house provide an easy extension of the internal living space, while the orientation of the gardens creates both sunny and shaded areas at different times of the day.

Gates open from the private lane onto a driveway providing off-road parking.

Alongside the house is a substantial garage with its own shower room/WC and a staircase leading to a useful first-floor studio. Currently providing excellent ancillary space for a home office, studio or hobby room, this is a valuable addition to the main accommodation and offers considerable flexibility.

SOUTHWOLD / Reydon

The property occupies an appealing position in Reydon, combining the quieter surroundings and greater sense of space found on the edge of the town with convenient access to everything Southwold has to offer.

Southwold's town centre and beach are within walking distance, making this an excellent permanent home or coastal retreat without the need to be in the heart of the town.

One of the Suffolk Heritage Coast's most celebrated seaside destinations, Southwold is renowned for its beach and colourful beach huts, pier and traditional lighthouse. Its thriving High Street offers an excellent collection of independent shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants, while the town's harbour provides access to the River Blyth and the foot ferry to Walberswick.

The surrounding landscape is equally special. There are wonderful coastal and countryside walks nearby, with Walberswick, Dunwich, RSPB Minsmere and the wider Suffolk Coast & Heaths landscape all readily accessible.
