Aldeburgh, Suffolk

A contemporary, luxury eco-sensitive detached home. The property boasts a sweeping panoramic view, arguably one of the finest in Suffolk, to the River Alde estuary and the North Sea. The house is situated in the popular coastal town of Aldeburgh.

Aldeburgh is known for many things including great fish and chips and notably art. Both Maggi Hamblings' Scallop sculpture situated on the beach and its connection with Benjamin Britten have made Aldeburgh internationally known. Aldeburgh has a vibrant community which is reflected in its art and music scene, demonstrated in the Aldeburgh's festival each summer and the many art galleries on the high street. The high street has an independent cinema, various pubs and numerous places to eat.

Aldeburgh has a very active yacht club for both juniors and adults and the house is very close to a championship golf club and tennis courts. Nearby Thorpeness offers many attractions including a boating pond, country club and golf course and Snape Maltings has a music concert hall. Aldeburgh is within approximately two hours travelling time from central London, whether by road or by rail from either Saxmundham or Ipswich into London's Liverpool Street.

Description - A wonderful opportunity to acquire an outstanding two storey dwelling situated in Aldeburgh. This stunning property is in a gated community of nine houses standing in an elevated position at the end of a quiet lane off Saxmundham Road very close to the golf course.

The property has been finished to the highest standard and is deceptively spacious. An inverted house with the living area upstairs and bedrooms downstairs the focus for the design has been to make the most of the stunning surroundings with large light filled rooms.

The upper floor also has a cloakroom (with shower) and storage.

The central hallway is large and bright being lit by sky lights above and has an elegant staircase leading to the lower floor.

On the lower floor there are four large bedrooms, two with en-suites. There is a further separate family bathroom, giving the house four bathrooms in total. All of the bath and shower rooms have corian surrounds In addition, the property features economically and environmentally efficient air source heating by way of easy to use under floor heating throughout and there is a sedum flowering plant roof covering.
