If Scandi design is your thing, there’s a good chance you’ll love this renovated four-bedroom house that’s up for sale in Snape, near Aldeburgh, at a guide price of £1.495m.
According to selling agent Suffolk Coastal, the contemporary property “takes full advantage of its elevated position on Priory Road” and offers “far-reaching views over neighbouring countryside”.
The house is located a stone’s throw from Snape Warren nature reserve and the Sailor’s Path, a beautiful route walked by sailors for hundreds of years between Snape Maltings and Aldeburgh.
The existing property stood on the site for 45 years and was completely remodelled by the current owner in 2018/2019, with an emphasis on insulation, natural light throughout the day and enhanced views from every room.
The front door opens to an entrance hall with stairs up to the first floor and doors off to a study, shower room, utility room and one of the four bedrooms.
A sliding barn door opens from the hall to an impressive open-plan space encompassing a bespoke fitted kitchen/diner and sitting room, with further sliding doors opening to the back garden.

The sitting room has a large picture window to the front, along with a recessed woodburner and porcelain tiled floor.
The whole of the ground floor, including the sitting room, benefits from underfloor heating provided by an air source heat pump.
Upstairs there is a light and bright galleried landing with study area, walk-in airing cupboard and doors to the remaining bedrooms and family bathroom.

Moving outside, there is an outbuilding at the rear designed to match the house – with electrics, water and drainage all in place.
It is currently used for storage but has been left as a blank canvas to create an office, studio, workshop or auxiliary accommodation to the main house, subject to planning permission.
To the front, a long gravel drive leads to ample parking and a carport with storeroom flanked by extensive lawns, mature trees and herbaceous borders.
At the rear is further extensive lawn and a terrace, bordered by estate railing.
The village of Snape has a primary school, garage shop, three pubs and a variety of shops within the Snape Maltings music and arts complex, which is less than a mile away.
Saxmundham train station is ten minutes’ drive away, offering regular services to London via Ipswich and to Norwich via Lowestoft.
