Stradbroke Road, Southwold, Suffolk, IP18

Douglas House is a prominent property on Stradbroke Road, with its double fronted, full heigh bay windows and a carved figurehead always drawing the eye of those walking past.

This flat is accessed from the rear communal courtyard into a hallway with storage areas and timber floors and carpeted stairs which lead up to two apartments set on the first floor.

Once you pass through the apartment’s own front door you step into an inviting hallway with a large storage cupboard to one end. The main living space is set at the front of the property where there is a bay window giving a side view towards the lighthouse.

The current owners have modernised the property and along with skimming the walls, they have also fitted new flooring and a new shaker style kitchen to one side of the room.

The bathroom is a large room, to one side are a range of built in cupboards so you have plenty of storage. The bathroom offers both a corner bath and a shower cubicle and has a quirky split-level layout.

The stairs leading up to the second floor have a shallow rake and there is a small landing where there is an emergency exit door. The bedroom is charming, and has a window to the side, along with a deep bay window which has space for a chair to admire the view over the town.

Offered with a long lease and a share of the freehold, the property will work perfectly as a Southwold bolthole, a holiday let, or as a permanent residence, which is how the current vendors have used the property.

Offered in excellent order throughout, viewing is strongly advised.
