A beautifully restored cottage combining period character with contemporary living, set in secluded gardens at the southern end of Friston. The heart of the house is a large open-plan kitchen/dining/living room with a central island, wood-burning stove and underfloor heating — ideal for family life and entertaining. Three well-proportioned bedrooms each have en suites, including a ground-floor suite and two upstairs suites reached via separate staircases.
The plot is generous and predominantly south-facing, with a lawn, well-tended borders, paved courtyard for alfresco dining and a large garden store. Double glazing and recent renovation work give the house a bright, well-presented feel. Location is a key strength: Aldeburgh’s shops, restaurants and coast are about five miles away, and Snape Maltings cultural venue is around three miles distant.
Notable practical points: heating is oil-fired with a boiler and some underfloor heating; the EPC is rated D. Cavity walls are recorded as originally built without insulation (assumed) so improving wall insulation could be beneficial. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average — important if you rely on fast home internet. Council Tax sits at Band E (above average), and maintenance of mature borders and oil tanks should be factored in.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking a character family home near the Heritage Coast, who value private outdoor space and a high standard of finish, and who are comfortable with oil heating and some scope for energy-efficiency upgrades.
