The River Deben has been an attraction, for people wanting to live close to water, for centuries.
At Lime Kiln Quay, The Old Chandlery, is a clever conversion of a commercial property into a place to live - and work - with views of the river.
You can sit at a desk in the window, looking across the quay to Sutton shore famous for its Royal graves, and watch yachts sailing down river.
The Old Chandlery is a unique home, designed to take advantage of this special position.
It is a quiet corner of the town but in walking distance of the Thoroughfare shopping area, and along the river bank footpath to the Riverside Theatre and the railway station.
This home is almost upside-down living.
It has been finished to the highest standards with plenty of smart technology.
The property features a stunning 20ft by 18ft open plan kitchen/dining room which has full-height bi-fold windows accessing a hard-wood decked balcony with a glass and stainless steel balustrade taking full advantage of the river views.
The room includes a handmade bespoke kitchen made by Suffolk joiners Hill Farm Joinery, with an extensive range of Bosch appliances, including two ovens, a steam oven and microwave, granite work surfaces and a wood block peninsula bar.
There is oak flooring and a vaulted ceiling with LED lighting.
The room can accomodate settees and a ding table.
Beyond is a vaulted principal bedroom with a luxury en suite fully-tiled wet room.

In addition there is a study, a utility room and a cloakroom.
