"An exceptional and elegant property situated a few paces from the sea front toward the southern end of this iconic seaside town. Aldeburgh is an extremely popular seaside town, renowned for its connections with the composer Benjamin Britten, its sailing on the Rivers Alde and Ore and its heathland golf course. The High Street features an eclectic range of independent shops and brand name boutiques, restaurants and galleries, along with an independent cinema. The town is close to open countryside and nature reserves which are connected through a vast network of public footpaths. Situated within the Suffolk Heritage Coast, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Aldeburgh is approximately two hours drive from London and the nearest train station is seven miles away at Saxmundham which, with a change at Ipswich, connects to London Liverpool Street.
Description A charming Victorian or early Edwardian end terrace house, beautifully refurbished to an excellent standard in recent years. The property offers well proportioned rooms with large modern double glazed sash windows and high ceilings, flooding the accommodation with natural light. Retaining much of its period character while incorporating modern comforts, the sitting room features a cast iron open fireplace and the kitchen has been thoughtfully extended and remodelled, creating a stunning family kitchen and dining area. This space benefits from a wealth of natural light, thanks to a south facing roof, part vaulted ceiling with roof lights and west facing windows and casement doors. The kitchen is well equipped with an excellent range of cabinets and wooden flooring, making it both a functional and inviting space.
