3 bed detached house for sale

Snape Bridge, Snape, Saxmundham, Suffolk IP17

Delightful house moments from the river Alde.

Description
Snape is a delightful village set on the River Alde, internationally renowned for its concert hall and the excellent amenities at Snape Maltings, including galleries, independent shops, cafés and three public houses.

Kiln House is located within the renowned historic building of Snape Maltings, which dates back to the mid-19th century and was originally established by the entrepreneur Newson Garrett. It later became one of the largest and most significant industrial maltings in the UK, producing malt for London breweries. Following its closure in the 1960s, the building was transformed in 1967 into a concert hall and arts centre by the composer Benjamin Britten.

Arranged over three floors, the property offers light-filled, well-proportioned accommodation and retains a wealth of period features, including high ceilings, large sash windows and original brick fireplaces.

The front door opens into the ground floor, which comprises a spacious sitting room, which flows through to the dining room. There is also a well-appointed kitchen and a study. Stairs lead to the first floor, where there is a bedroom served by a separate bathroom. The second floor provides two en-suite bedrooms, with the principal bedroom being particularly spacious and flooded with natural light through two large sash windows. The property also benefits from a private parking space and access to a communal garden.

Location
Aldeburgh, a seaside town closely associated with the composer Benjamin Britten, has a wide selection of cultural and shopping amenities, and some marvellous restaurants. The neighbouring village of Thorpeness has a charming boating lake and country club.
