About this property

  • Occupying a superb position in the heart of Aldeburgh, The Gables is a spacious townhouse with exceptional, far reaching views over the River Alde and sea.

    Constructed predominantly from brick, the house dates back to the 1800s and has great character with features such as open fireplaces, high ceilings, well-proportioned rooms and bay windows which take advantage of the superb views from the upper floors.

    The layout of the accommodation works remarkably well consisting of a central hall; double aspect kitchen/breakfast room with range oven and ample storage; a well-proportioned dining room; a delightful drawing room with an ornate, open fireplace; and capacious, light-filled garden room with French doors out to a terrace perfect for alfresco dining. Completing the ground floor is a shower room and cloak room.

    Stairs lead to a large first floor landing serving three spacious bedrooms, two of which benefit from large bay windows and superb views over the river.

    Two separate staircases lead to the second floor where there are a further four bedrooms, which offer the finest views over the river and sea.

    Outside
    The gardens of The Gables lie to the south of the house and are prominently lawned with herbaceous borders, shrubs, mature trees and a generous paved terrace.

    To the front there is a gravel driveway with ample parking, a spacious garage and outbuildings consisting of a wood store and lavatory.
