2 Cautley House forms part of an award winning development by Gipping Homes which was praised by The Felixstowe Society for "a sensitive restoration of an iconic building, Cautley House and surrounding new development are extremely sympathetic to the Grade II listed building". The building originated as The Bath Hotel which suffered in the final major suffragette action before World War I when Evaline Burkitt and Florence Tunks set fire to the building on 28 April 1914. Since then, the property has returned to glory becoming an exceptional landmark building along Felixstowe's beautiful seafront.
A secure and shared entrance opens into a communal entrance hall with direct access to 2 Cautley House. The front door opens into an outstanding open plan sitting/dining room which flows into the contemporary kitchen. There are glorious views through the full height bay window towards the sea, whilst the space and elegance of this room is further accentuated by the 11ft high ceiling. Measuring about 36'7 x 16'4 there is plenty of space for defined sitting and dining areas with direct access into the immaculate kitchen with high gloss kitchen units, stone worksurfaces and glazed splashbacks. Integral Caple appliances include a 5-ring gas hob, fan cooker, combination microwave/oven/grill, warming drawer, dishwasher and a freestanding fridge/freezer. There is attractive light oak-effect Karndean flooring with underfloor heating which continues into the hallway.
An inner hall has built-in cupboards housing a water softener as well as plumbing for a washing machine and tumbler dryer. The wonderful master bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes, a contemporary ensuite shower room with a large shower cubicle, and there are glazed double doors set in a beautiful arch opening onto the south east facing private courtyard garden with glorious views. The second bedroom also has built in wardrobes, whilst the third bedroom is currently used as a study; all the bedrooms are large enough for double beds. The family bathroom is attractively fitted with a double ended bath, large shower cubicle with waterfall shower, low level wc with a concealed cistern as well as a wash basin set in a contemporary drawer unit. Both the bathrooms benefit from pebble-effect Karndean flooring as well as heated towel rails in addition to the underfloor heating.
The outside There is a private courtyard garden to the front which enjoys a sunny south east facing aspect; this is paved and fully enclosed by iron railings with a gate opening onto the communal grounds to the front. Internally, the courtyard is directly accessed via the master bedroom. It provides an ideal area for plant pots and alfresco dining from which one can enjoy panoramic views of the North Sea. A communal driveway meanders through the well-tended elevated grounds and leads to the spacious parking area where there are 2 designated parking spaces for the apartment as well as additional guest parking. There is also bike storage.
