Occupying a most exceptional position in the heart of Southwold, just a short walk from the beach and high street, St. James House is a handsome redbrick house with a delightful, principally west-facing garden and integrated garage.

St. James House comes to the market for the first time in over 30 years, having been a much-loved home, presented in immaculate condition. The accommodation flows remarkably well and is arranged over four floors, with views of the iconic lighthouse and towards the sea from the sitting room and upper levels.

The front door opens into a useful porch, leading through to the reception hall. On the ground floor is the generous sitting room, featuring high ceilings, a picture rail, and a large window overlooking St. James Green and towards the sea. Opposite the sitting room is the library, a charming additional reception room that can also serve as a home office or study—ideal for remote working.

Stairs descend to the lower ground floor, which comprises a snug, utility room, and cloakroom, with access to the gardens. French windows from the snug and a glazed door on the landing open out to the terrace and gardens. There is also access to the useful cellar, providing additional storage.

The dining room and kitchen are situated on the upper ground floor. The dining room is spacious and well-suited for formal dining and entertaining, with a pair of French windows leading to a sunroom that overlooks the garden and the varied rooftops of the town. The kitchen features a range of base and wall-mounted units, twin Bosch ovens, and an induction hob.

Four double bedrooms are arranged over the first and second floors, along with a family bathroom. The elegantly proportioned principal bedroom has an adjoining bathroom, featuring both a bath and a separate shower, and enjoys spectacular views of the lighthouse and towards the sea.

OUTSIDE
St. James House has delightful gardens that wrap around the house.

The garden also includes a number of useful stores.

A generous integrated garage provides parking and additional storage.
