Reydon, Southwold, Suffolk, IP18

Steeped in history and set in a prominent position, this characterful home offers spacious accommodation and a generously sized garden.

Bridge House is a unique, attractive and prominent dwelling in Reydon, with an interesting history and original features to match. In the early 1800s, it was The Bear Inn - a famous local public house, it occupied a commanding position on the route to Southwold and looked across the marshes and Southwold Common.

Today its placement still seems ideal. Access to the popular town of Southwold with its shops and cafes is straightforward, and in addition there are walks to the beaches, the pier, Southwold Common, the marshes and the Harbour. It is locally served with shops, a pub/restaurant, village hall, medical centre and local transport, but seems a short distance from countryside habitats with great wildlife to be spotted.

The house offers generous and flexible accommodation. You enter the property into a convenient enclosed lobby, providing access to both the Sitting room & Dining room. The Sitting room is of particular note: it is a grand, congenial room with a large fireplace with a multi-fuel stove and an abundance of original features. There is also access to the large boarded cellar for extra storage space.

Leading on from the Sitting room, to the rear, is the extension which provides a contrast: more modern accommodation. Including a good sized and well equipped kitchen with access into the garden, a spacious utility room with W/C, a traditional walk-in pantry, and also a cosy snug with double doors into the garden. The ground floor accommodation is finished with a generously sized Dining room with a spectacular fireplace and other features. The accommodation benefits from a wrap around layout.

Stairs to the first floor landing lead to three double bedrooms and fourth single bedroom. The principal bedroom is of very generous size and is completed with built in storage space, a fireplace and a large ensuite bath & shower room. The second bedroom provides access to the loft space with built in staircase. A good sized wet room with an airing cupboard completes the first floor accommodation.

The good sized and attractive garden has a number of mature trees, a shed and summerhouse and a granite patio area. There is space for off-road parking.
