4 Bedroom Terraced House

Overlooking the picturesque Bartholomew Green, just moments from the church in the heart of Southwold, this elegant Victorian residence presents a rare opportunity to acquire a quintessential coastal home in an enviable setting close to the High Street.

Rich in period character and beautifully proportioned throughout, the property has been successfully operated as a holiday let and is equally suited as a refined permanent residence or turnkey seaside retreat.

The property is approached into a welcoming and light-filled entrance hall, setting an immediate tone of charm and warmth. An understairs cupboard offers practical storage, with potential to be converted into a cloakroom or shower room, enhancing the ground floor functionality. To the front, the principal sitting room is a delightful space, centred around a feature fireplace and enjoying a bay window with attractive views across Bartholomew Green. This room perfectly captures the essence of Southwold living, combining elegance with a strong connection to its surroundings.

To the rear, the dining room provides a more intimate setting, again with a characterful fireplace and a pleasant outlook over the courtyard garden ideal for both formal dining and relaxed entertaining. The kitchen breakfast room continues the home’s blend of character and practicality, featuring a chimney breast with an original Victorian-style oven inset, complemented by a range of base and eye-level units with contrasting timber work surfaces. There is provision for a cooker, washing machine and dishwasher, while a door leads through to the breezeway. This useful connecting space offers access to the front of the property and presents further potential for incorporation into the main house whether as additional storage or to facilitate a ground floor shower room.

To the first floor, the principal bedroom enjoys elevated views to the front, overlooking the green, while the second bedroom to the rear is a generous double. There is a third bedroom set to the front, also with over green views, currently housing bunk beds. These rooms are served by a bright family bathroom, fitted with a panel-enclosed bath, pedestal wash hand basin, low-level WC and heated towel rail, benefitting from double aspect windows that flood the space with natural light. Leading to the bathroom is a study/dressing room area that also could serve as a fourth bedroom.

A second staircase set behind a door on the landing rises to the top floor, revealing a highly versatile 16-foot-long room with windows to both front and rear aspects. Currently arranged as an additional sitting room, this space could equally function as a studio, or home office. With some work to adhere to building regs, this could also be a top floor bedroom.

Externally, the courtyard garden provides a charming and low-maintenance outdoor area, perfectly suited to al fresco dining or quiet relaxation after a day by the sea and benefits from two store cupboards and a covered store. The property is offered with considerable flexibility, having been a successful holiday let with the option to transfer existing bookings, or alternatively to be purchased as a fully furnished, turnkey home ready for immediate occupation.
