Palmer & Partners are delighted to present to the market this exquisite, detached family home which was built in December 2023 to an exceptionally high standard. The property was further extended in 2024 with a double-storey extension to create another reception room which is currently being used as an impressive games room and on the first floor is a superb master bedroom suite with breathtaking views, bespoke storage and a stunning en-suite with floor-to-ceiling bespoke glass panels. With beautiful views over protected Suffolk Trust heathland and with footpaths leading to Sizewell beach, this property is ideally located for someone wanting to live in a quiet and secluded setting. Within the grounds there is a detached three-bedroom lodge, which is ideal for multi-generation living, a detached triple garage, a substantial driveway with turning circle providing ample off-road parking, and landscaped gardens of approximately 0.5 acres (subject to survey).

Leiston is found a short drive inland from Suffolk’s Heritage Coast between Thorpeness and Aldeburgh, approximately 6 miles from Snape Maltings and approximately 5 miles from RSPB Minsmere. Home to the Long Shop Museum, Leiston has a good range of shops and amenities for all ages including a Co-op supermarket, chemists, hardware stores, a post office, doctors and dentist surgeries, a primary and secondary school, vets, library, sports centre, cinema and recreational parks as well as a good selection of pubs and fast-food takeaways. The town is served by a regular bus service to outlying villages and beyond and with Saxmundham’s railway station only four miles away, Ipswich and London are easily accessible. You can also explore the 14th century Leiston Abbey ruins.

Directions
From Leiston High Street proceed onto Sizewell Road at the traffic lights. Continue along King Georges Avenue and over the railway line. At the end of this road, turn left onto Lovers Lane and take the next right into The Common and right again onto Sandy Lane.
