31 Station Road...

Lit throughout by huge sash windows, this elegant semi-detached home is the perfect project for all those re-modelling enthusiasts. Proudly standing just West of the bustling high street, time has paused within these grand bones leaving a wonderfully untouched footprint for you to play with to your hearts content.
Stepping into the entrance hall, the vastness of this home is immediately apparent as the long hallway stretches ahead of you. The sitting room to the front aspect is beautifully bright as light pours through the tall original sash windows, a more formal room in comparison to the second sitting room which is drenched in Royalist blue, another nod to the past. Quite a unique feature, a large walk-in pantry segregates these reception spaces, with an imaginative eye the potential this home offers really is exciting from simple decorative ideas to grander aspirational re-modelling plans, the options are endless. The quaint eat-in kitchen sits to the far rear of the house, with a wonderful natural flow out to the rear garden.
Rising up to the first floor, all three bedrooms and the large family bath suite lead from the large landing, where another tall sash window not only brightens the air but also shines light on the beautiful, curved banister. The bay fronted bedroom to the front has been slightly modified at some point in the past, sub dividing into a walk-in dressing room, ideal for those who enjoy a clutter free bedroom suite. Beautiful, panelled closets are to be found throughout this home, just more treasure which has been retained throughout the decades.

Outside...

Perhaps the most special aspect of this home (if we had to pick one), the garden, where the enchantment continues... Extending far beyond the house, the rear garden is simply glorious, sectioned into clearly defined zones for any keen gardener to re-vitalise and bring back to life. Open aspect views over Southwold Golf course stretch beyond the rear picket gate, where local allotments can also be found, a fabulous way to extend the garden further should you wish. Heading back towards the house, a variety of brick outbuildings provide space for storage in addition to the brick garage, currently used as workshop. Double gates to the side allow access to the front and back, possibly large enough for a very small vehicle but certainly big enough for bikes and motorcycles.

Franks Thoughts...

Always a fan of a project, especially when all the character has been retained ready to be brought back to life, but that garden certainly deserves a special mention. With all the local amenities of Southwold on your door step too, what's not to love.
