About this property

  • Dickon House is an exquisite, detached house, boasting a stunning south-facing garden and nestled in the heart of the popular coastal village of Walberswick. The house is an exceptionally well presented modern home, combining coastal character with high quality contemporary construction. Built with part brick and cedar clad weatherboard elevations beneath pitched tiled roofs, the 1930’s property was fully renovated in 2020 and now offers superb energy efficiency with an Air Source Heat Pump, solar panels, underfloor heating and double glazing throughout. The property has an EPC rating of A.

    The reception hall provides a generous central access to the ground floor accommodation, connecting the principal rooms: the open plan kitchen/dining room, drawing room, and sitting room. A WC is also positioned just off the central hall.

    The bespoke kitchen is a wonderfully bright triple aspect space, with French doors opening directly onto the terrace and south facing garden. It features ample wall and base cabinetry, a Rangemaster cooker, and a large island offering further storage and preparation space. A utility room sits just off the kitchen, offering additional practicality and workspace. The drawing room and sitting room are equally bright and well proportioned, each centred around a fireplace. Both rooms enjoy French doors and lovely views over the surrounding gardens, creating an elegant and inviting pair of reception spaces.

    Stairs rise to the first floor, where there are four beautifully appointed and light filled bedrooms, which are complemented by two elegantly finished bathrooms.

    Outside
    Dickon House is approached off a private road which leads to the driveway of the house, providing ample parking for several cars. Beyond is a beautiful front garden, thoughtfully planted with mature shrubs and trees creating an inviting first impression.

    To the rear, the garden opens into a generous and wonderfully private space, with a paved terrace adjoining the house, which is perfect for al fresco dining. The lawn is neatly kept and bordered by established trees and planting, giving the garden a private atmosphere. Also set within the garden is a versatile studio, offering an excellent additional space for a variety of uses.
