4 Bed Detached House For Sale

A stunning contemporary four-bedroom house of 3215 sq. ft architecturally designed in a Scandinavian style. The property takes full advantage of its elevated position on Priory Road, a stone’s throw from Snape Warren nature reserve and The Sailors’ Path and features far reaching views over neighbouring countryside. The existing property, which stood on the site for 45 years, was completely remodelled by the current owner in 2018/2019, with the emphasis on it being well-insulated, filled with natural light throughout the day and having enhanced views from all the rooms. Sitting under a slate roof, the house has black painted elevations, aluminium windows, and the benefit of an air source heat pump heating system.

Location:

There are wonderful walks from the property particularly the Sailor’s Path off Priory Road that leads to Aldeburgh. The village of Snape has a primary school, a garage shop, three public houses (The Crown, The Golden Key & The Plough and Sail) and there are several varying shops affiliated within the Snape Maltings music and arts complex, less than a mile away. The A12 is only a short drive away and provides ready access to London which is about 80 miles from the property. Saxmundham station, within 10 minutes' drive, has ample parking and regular services to London via Ipswich and to Norwich via Lowestoft. Situated in the sought-after Suffolk Heritage Coastline, the town of Aldeburgh is also easily accessible and provides ample facilities for sailing, golf, and the fishing enthusiast.

The Sailors' Path:

The Sailors’ Path follows a beautiful route walked by sailors for hundreds of years between Snape Maltings and Aldeburgh in the east of the county. Along its route the path takes in views over reed beds and the River Alde. It also crosses Snape Marshes which are a vital wildlife habitat and home to otter and many kinds of birds, insects and plants. Listen out for nightjars, woodlark and yellowhammers as the path goes through Snape Warren Nature Reserve, then enjoy a spot of shopping and some of the famous fish and chips you can find in the quaint seaside town of Aldeburgh.
