Superb family home with far reaching views over Southwold and marshes.
Occupying a particularly special and sought after location, with spectacular views towards Southwold, Brooklands is an outstanding contemporary house with a south facing garden and useful studio/ancillary accommodation.
The house dates from the 1960s and has been substantially extended and modernised to an exceptional standard by our clients, creating a spacious, light-filled and remarkably comfortable family home.
Approached via a shingle drive, Brooklands is a striking detached house with a principally timber-clad façade and pantiled roof.
Internally, the building flows amazingly well, comprising wonderfully proportioned room. At the heart of the house is the fabulous, open-plan kitchen and living area.
Within the kitchen, which has oak work surfaces, a butler-style double sink, gas hob and integrated double oven, is a large island with a breakfast bar. This flows through to a dining and living area, with bi-folding doors out to the terrace.
Beyond the kitchen is a further reception room, presently used as a studio but which has potential for various uses; glazed sliding doors in this room also lead to the south-facing terrace.
The double-aspect sitting room on the first floor has superb views over the marshes and towards Southwold. Within the sitting room is a wood-burning stove, and a glazed door leads out to a balcony.
Four double bedrooms are arranged on the ground and first floor. The first-floor principal bedroom is particularly impressive: the spacious room has excellent views and a private balcony. Both of the first-floor bedrooms have en suites, with the family bathroom on the ground floor.
Brooklands has a delightful, south-facing garden. Immediately to the rear of the building is a generous sandstone terrace, ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining.
Steps bordered with shrubs lead down to the lawn and kitchen garden, with raised beds and greenhouse.
There is ample parking at Brooklands over a shingle drive. There is also an excellent outbuilding comprising two garages and a workshop, over which is a useful studio/ancillary accommodation.

Brooklands is an excellent contemporary house in a superb position on the edge of Southwold. I love the wonderfully spacious open-plan kitchen with dining and living area. There are fabulous views over the marshes and towards Southwold Lighthouse from the balconies off the first floor sitting room and principal bedroom.
