Superb Art Deco house with south facing garden.
Greengates occupies a highly sought after and special location in Reydon within easy reach of Southwold with its vibrant High Street and stunning beaches. It is a superb example of an Art Deco house, unique in the local area, with a large south facing garden and far reaching views towards Southwold, Walberswick and marshes. This is a rare opportunity to own a much admired unique property.
Approached via a shingle drive Greengates is an impressive property, with a striking façade, built in the 1930s and constructed from brick and white render, under a distinctive flat roof which conceals solar panels. Sympathetically extended and modernised, throughout by the current owners, this fabulous home offers impressive design with well-proportioned and light filled rooms.
The accommodation flows remarkably well from a spacious entrance hall. There is a contemporary open plan kitchen/dining room with bi-folding doors leading out onto to a private terraced area, ideal for alfresco dining. The kitchen has ample base and wall mounted units, double ovens, integral dishwasher and gas hob. Beyond the kitchen there is a utility room, perfect for extra storage. Underfloor heating runs through both of these rooms.
The elegantly proportioned double aspect sitting room has a contemporary gas fireplace and delightful views over the garden. The solid wood folding doors open fully, leading through to a dining room, which is perfectly placed for entertaining and has a large window filling the space with natural light. The original folding doors mean that these rooms offer the flexibility to enjoy one open-plan large space or two generous living spaces.
Sliding, concealed, glazed doors lead through to a triple aspect garden room providing stunning views over the garden. Further glazed bi-folding doors lead onto the terrace.
Completing the ground floor there is a study and a spacious bedroom with en suite shower room, With a lockable interconnecting door, the bedroom can be accessed through the house or via its own front door from the drive. Until recently the current owners have run this as a successful Airbnb business.
Stairs lead up from the hallway to the first floor accommodation which is served by a large, central landing. The triple aspect principal bedroom benefits from built in storage, an en suite bathroom with underfloor heating and delightful views over the garden. There are a further two dual aspect double bedrooms. One of these rooms has a south facing balcony providing a terrace overlooking the marshes with views to Walberswick. Completing the first floor accommodation is a family bathroom with underfloor heating.
Outside

Greengates is a true representation of the Art Deco period. It is a very special house and the new owner would be very lucky. I love the design of the house and its fabulous coastal location.
