Linden Close, Aldeburgh, IP15

A wonderful example of mid-century architecture which has been sympathetically renovated, this three-bedroom house sits beautifully within a landscaped wrap-around garden in a quiet residential location. The property, of 1017 sq. ft (94.48 sq. m), is stylishly presented and features single-storey accommodation with the emphasis on light and comfort. The property is also extremely economic to run with Council Tax band C and EPC band C.

Accommodation comprises;

living room, kitchen; utility room, three bedrooms (one of which currently used a study), bathroom, garden and ample parking.

 

Designed by Glynn Hollister in 1960 and built by Reades of Aldeburgh, the house was renovated recently by the current owners to a particularly high standard, including a new roof, aluminium double glazed windows and a hand made plywood kitchen.

 

Located on Linden Close, the house is accessed over a shingle drive, with ample parking. On entering the house there is a generous entrance hall. To the right, there is a sizeable living room (22’11 x 19’) with ceiling height windows on one side, this space is open-plan including the dining room and kitchen. The dining area opens onto a south-facing decked terrace area, benefitting from all day sun. The living room also features original five finger oak parquet flooring and a ‘Scan 66’ wood-burning stove for when the nights draw in.

 

The three bedrooms are on the northern side of the house. The guest bedroom / dressing room is fitted with built-in wardrobes. The second bedroom, a spacious and bright dual aspect room which is currently used as a study.

 

The ‘pièce de résistance, is certainly the garden which through clever landscape design, offers shingle areas with herbaceous borders, an expanse of lawn, a decked terrace area (perfect for al fresco dining) and a raised kitchen garden, yielding vegetables and asparagus.

 

Linden Close is a desirable, quiet and leafy residential road around a mile to the north west of Aldeburgh’s high street, within a short cycle or drive of the town’s amenities. Convenient for the town, but also a short walk away from the river Alde at Brick Dock, as well as the golf club and for walks along the old railway track to Thorpeness.
