Leveretts Lane, Walberswick, Southwold, Suffolk, IP18

A charming period cottage enjoying a peaceful position adjoining the village green in the heart of Walberswick, complemented by a detached annexe, private parking and delightful outdoor spaces.

Occupying an enviable position at the edge of the green, this attractive period home offers a wonderful blend of traditional character and contemporary touches, all within one of Suffolk’s most sought-after coastal villages.

The accommodation is particularly well arranged, with a generously proportioned kitchen/dining room, three bedrooms and the added versatility of a detached annexe, making this an appealing home for permanent living, weekend escapes or those looking to enjoy the relaxed pace of coastal life. The property is approached via a pathway leading to a side entrance, which opens into the hallway. To the front, the sitting room is a particularly inviting space, filled with natural light from a wide bay window incorporating a charming window seat, together with an additional side window. A log-burning stove provides an attractive focal point and creates a cosy atmosphere during the cooler months.

One of the highlights of the property is the unusually spacious kitchen/dining room, offering considerably more room than might typically be expected of a cottage of this nature. The kitchen is fitted with a smart range of contemporary-style base units, complemented by contrasting work surfaces, whilst a feature fireplace adds character and interest. There is ample space for a substantial dining table, creating a sociable setting for entertaining family and friends. An understairs cupboard provides useful storage.

To the rear, a door leads into a practical utility room, with plumbing for a washing machine and access to the side garden. The family bathroom is also accessed from here and is fitted with both a separate shower cubicle and a bath.

The first floor provides three well-proportioned bedrooms, with bedrooms one and three benefiting from built-in cupboards. A separate WC, conveniently positioned off the landing, completes the first-floor accommodation.

Outside, the property continues to offer some particularly appealing features. Positioned towards the rear of the plot is a detached annexe, currently arranged as an additional bedroom with its own en-suite shower room. This is a valuable addition, providing excellent flexibility for visiting family and friends, or alternatively offering potential as a home office, studio or hobby room. Alongside the cottage is a courtyard garden, with a further area of lawn positioned beyond the annexe, creating a series of distinct outdoor spaces to enjoy. There is also a substantial garden shed, ideal for storing outdoor equipment, bicycles and all the essentials for making the most of village and coastal life, including crabbing gear. A gate provides access to a private parking area, approached via a lane to the rear, with space for approximately two to three vehicles – a particularly welcome feature in such a popular coastal setting.
