Aldeburgh

Set in a wonderful 2½ acre well-treed garden setting, bordering the golf course, a substantial house and cottage requiring general updating. Situated off the Leiston Road on the edge of Aldeburgh, Warren House is understood to date from the early 20th Century and was likely to have been built by Reeds of Aldeburgh, the well reputed local builders, using their classic locally made red bricks. The house stands well within its mature, sheltered and well-treed setting, and offers well laid out accommodation extending to some 2,723 sq ft. The principal rooms on both floors focus to the south to enjoy views across the gardens and golf course beyond. Offered to the market for the first time for nearly 40 years, the property has been a wonderful family home and is now ready for general updating throughout. The property benefits from a mains gas fired central heating system with a relatively modern boiler. Adjacent, the independent two bed Warren Cottage has its own south facing terrace and garden, and whilst also requiring general updating, offers potential for a variety of uses making the property perfect for those seeking multi-generational living or rental income through holiday or longer term letting. OUTSIDE Five bar gates access a shingle drive which leads to a wide turning sweep to the rear of the house fronting onto which is a substantial three car brick garage with adjacent stores and dog kennels. The gardens and grounds create a wonderful setting for the house and cottage. The formal gardens include well kept lawns which are interspersed by a wide range of mature specimen trees which provide shade and shelter. The southern boundary which abuts the 12th hole of the Aldeburgh golf course is left open to enjoy views across the course, whilst elsewhere the property is enclosed by hedging. There is an open area of orchard garden, a sheltered croquet lawn, together with a mixed woodland plantation. The gardens are completed with a manageable sized kitchen and fruit garden with an adjacent greenhouse. In all the property extends to about 2.4 acres. WOODLAND To the west of the property is an area of mature mixed woodland extending to about two acres. The woodland is owned by the neighboring Aldeburgh Golf Club and has been leased to the owners of Warren House since 1988. The lease has recently been surrendered, but if the purchaser would like to continue the previous arrangement, they should contact the golf club direct. LOCATION Warren House enjoys the perfect location for those seeking seclusion and privacy whilst being within a five minute drive of the thriving high street and beach front of Aldeburgh. Abutting the golf course is a major attraction for keen golfers, whilst there is easy access to the network of coastal footpaths as well as the river Alde for sailing.
