Location
Fairhaven will be found in a wonderfully quiet location, set along Leverett’s Lane just a short walk from the  centre of the highly regarded coastal village of Walberswick, The Green, the Blyth Estuary and the  sea.  Walberswick is a charming, quintessential coastal village and one that is well supported with amenities including a Co-operative store, two public houses, The Bell and The Anchor, gift and arts and craft shops, a Black Dog Deli and café as well as tea rooms. Walberswick is well located to the A12 trunk road, approximately 3 miles to the west, whilst the nearby village of Darsham also offers trains to London via Ipswich. 

A short distance to the north, across the Blyth River, is another popular coastal town of Southwold, which can be accessed via a footbridge over the river, or during the summer months, a foot ferry. Southwold has a thriving high street, numerous pubs and restaurants, harbour, beach and pier.  The coastline either side of the town is amongst the most unspoilt in the country, while the surrounding countryside of the Suffolk Heritage Coast is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and includes such attractions as Dunwich Forest, RSPB nature reserve at Minsmere, as well as Henham Park and the Benacre and Covehithe Broads. 

Description
Believed to originally date from the early 20th century, Fairhaven is an extremely well presented five bedroom house offering approximately 2,700 sq feet of accommodation in a delightfully quiet position along Leverett’s Lane, yet within a short walk of the centre of the village and the sea.

Having been extended over the years, the accommodation flows wonderfully well, with a generous 18’4 x 18’ drawing room, sitting room and ground floor bedroom  or playroom with the use of its own bathroom and all accessed from the hallway.  From the sitting room there is access to the spacious and well fitted kitchen with electric Aga and walk-in pantry, and with pocket doors opening into the dining room, that enjoys French doors opening onto the rear terrace and garden.

On the first floor there is the principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom, two particularly light, guest double bedrooms (one of which enjoys glimpses of the Blyth Estuary), a fourth bedroom that also connects with the principal bedroom and family bathroom.  

Outside there is a large shingle driveway to the front of Fairhaven that provides plenty of space for the parking and turning of several vehicles, together with the attached single garage, that is currently used as a games room.  The majority of the gardens are to the rear, and facing in a westerly direction, these enjoy the sun through the afternoon and into the evening.  The gardens are predominantly laid to grass for ease of maintenance, but with established borders containing a variety of specimen flowers, shrubs and trees.  

In all the gardens and grounds extend to approximately 0.54 acres (0.22 hectares).      

In recent years Fairhaven has operated as a successful holiday let and the vendors would consider including all fixtures and fittings to allow for its continued use as such, and these items are available by separate negotiation.
