Secluded house in a sought after coastal village.
Description
Chestnut Cottage is an attractive, surprisingly spacious and well-proportioned detached house, with delightful private gardens, an annexe/home office and a garage.
The accommodation flows remarkably well: a useful porch leads to the entrance hall with storage cupboards and access to a bedroom, utility and shower room. The utility is generously proportioned and has its own oven and hob, and space for a washing machine and tumble drier. The utility could be used as a kitchen and combined with the bedroom and shower room could be used as a self-contained annexe.
The kitchen/breakfast room is the heart and hub of the building. There is a two-oven range cooker, double sink and space for a dishwasher and fridge/freezer, as well as numerous storage cupboards and spacious work surfaces. The room is filled with natural light; French windows lead to the south-facing terrace. A wood-burning stove makes this a wonderful room throughout the year.
Beyond the kitchen, an inner hall leads to a further bedroom and shower room and on to the double aspect sitting room, with a wood-burning stove, French windows leading to the garden and a glazed door on to the terrace.
A large wooden window over the staircase provides further natural light and views over the garden. The first floor accommodation comprises an additional three bedrooms, two of which enjoy en suites, and the family bathroom.
The principal bedroom is an especially charming and bright room; it enjoys a double aspect and an adjoining bathroom with Rada taps.
OUTSIDE
Chestnut Cottage has a wonderful wraparound garden, which our clients have transformed into a haven for wildlife, with sparrow and owl boxes, two ponds and wild flowers. A mowed path leads to a summerhouse.
To the side of the building is an excellent terrace and pergola; in the summer months, the sight and scent of the wisteria is enchanting.
There is ample parking at the front of house and a useful garage and two storey annexe, which with a shower room downstairs, could be a superb home office or studio.
Location
Chestnut Cottage occupies a wonderful, secluded position in Walberswick, a most delightful and sought after village on the Suffolk Coast.
The coastal village of Walberswick, within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is one of the county’s most popular destinations, with beautiful beaches, dunes and heathland, providing exceptional walks, and an excellent selection of amenities, including two public houses, a number of cafés and a splendid delicatessen, The Black Dog.
Famed for its painted beach huts and the iconic 19th century lighthouse, Southwold (8.1 miles via car or a 1.9 mile walk) also has a delightful late-Victorian pier, various boutique shops, an independent cinema, and numerous public houses and restaurants. Adnams, Suffolk’s most well known brewery, is based in the town and runs The Swan, a well-reviewed hotel with an excellent restaurant.
Beccles (13.7 miles) is an attractive market town on the River Waveney, dominated by the 16th century detached bell tower of St Michael’s. The town has a wonderful array of amenities including a heated lido and a railway station offering trains to London Liverpool Street via Ipswich (from 149 minutes).
Aldeburgh (14.9 miles), the popular coastal town closely associated with Benjamin Britten, is famed for its fish and chips and pebble beach. The neighbouring village of Thorpeness has a charming boating lake and country club.
The Southwold Arts Festival is an annual celebration of the arts and literature, while the Southwold Arts Centre hosts regular events throughout the year. Further afield, Snape Maltings (16.2 miles) has a celebrated concert hall.
Local sporting facilities are fantastic: sailing is available in Walberswick and Southwold, and canoes and kayaks are available to hire in Beccles, which also has a respected rowing club. On land pursuits include rugby, tennis and golf in Southwold. For the spectator, Great Yarmouth Racecourse is 29 miles to the north.
Education provisions in the area are superb in both the state and independent sectors, including The Old School Henstead and St Felix School.
All times and mileages are approximate.
