London Road, Blythburgh, Halesworth, IP19

Set in a plot of around half an acre, this elegant Edwardian home has a lot to offer

Hillside is a handsome late Edwardian period, detached villa, set on an elevated position on the edge of the ever-popular village of Blythburgh. The property is perfect for exploring the Heritage Coast, with Southwold, Dunwich, Snape and Aldeburgh all in a short drive.

You approach the property over shingle drive which leads up into to a beautiful hallway where you eye is immediately drawn to the impressive, ornate, turning staircase that heads up to the first floor with a sash window overlooking the garden to the rear. To the left is a family room which benefits from a double aspect with a bay window overlooking the front. The room is lovely for the winter months with a fireplace set to one wall making a lovely focal point to the room.

To the rear is a conservatory which overlooks the rear garden. The kitchen diner is a wonderful room for those who entertain with plenty of space for a table and chairs. Fitted with a range of shaker style units with timber work surfaces set over. Paired windows let in plenty of light and give great views over the grounds. The sitting room also benefits from a double aspect and measures sixteen feet in length matching the kitchen/diner. A cast iron log burner is set centrally to one wall. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a utility room with a shower room and W.C. adjoining.

Moving to the first floor, the pretty galleried landing has a window looking down the Blyth Valley toward Wenhaston where you will see spectacular sunsets. There are three double bedrooms. One offers an en-suite shower room, two are double aspect and have built-in storage and are served by the light and bright family bathroom. There is scope to sub-divide one of the rooms into a fourth bedroom if desired.

Outside, the substantial plot offers plenty of parking over a shingle drive with access to the oversized garage set behind the property. The rear garden is secluded and is mainly laid to lawn with a selection of mature trees, shrubs and perennials. Around halfway up is a pool which is not in current use but could be recommissioned by the new owners. A gate allows private access onto the bridleway to Walberswick nature reserve and the Blyth estuary woodland.

The foot path at the front of the property leads across the marshes where one can find public houses at Wenhaston and Blyford.

A flexible light and spacious period home which offers natural views over fields and marsh land and offers plenty of scope for extension (S.T.P). The perfect coastal family home.
