Description -

Accommodation - Both properties are vacant, Warren House occupies a truly exceptional position, directly bordering Aldeburgh Golf Club, with uninterrupted views across the fairways and the twelfth green. This unique setting is unrivalled by any other home in Aldeburgh, offering a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and immediate access to one of Suffolk’s most celebrated golf courses.

Warren House is an individual and characterful detached two-storey residence, believed to date from the early 20th century, with sympathetic alterations and additions completed in the latter part of the century. Constructed in traditional red brick laid in Flemish bond beneath a pitched and hipped roof clad with attractive clay pantiles, the home exudes period charm and architectural integrity.

The property is generously proportioned, with large casement windows that not only provide excellent natural light and ventilation but also frame picturesque views over the expansive gardens. The internal accommodation is well-balanced, featuring generously sized rooms that retain a wealth of original period features. Notably, the living room is anchored by a splendid feature fireplace, adding a sense of warmth and timeless elegance.

The gardens are truly a highlight of the property—extending to well over two acres and beautifully landscaped with sweeping lawns, mature trees, rose beds, croquet lawn, and a thriving vegetable garden. This outdoor space offers both tranquillity and productivity in equal measure. A wide shingle driveway provides ample parking and leads to a substantial triple garage, with additional timber stores offering flexible storage solutions.

Uniquely Warren House borders Aldeburgh golf course. Aldeburgh Golf Club, founded in 1884, a fine heathland course steeped in a rich history, the championship course being a substantial challenge even for the best golfer!

Complementing the main residence is WARREN COTTAGE, a separate self-contained TWO BEDROOM DETACHED DWELLING that offers further accommodation—ideal for extended family, guest use, business purposes, or as a potential rental opportunity.

To the west of the property is an area of woodland extending to about 2 acres.
