Located on the sought-after Crag Path, the seven-bedroom red-brick town house is believed to date back to the late 19th century and boasts a number of period features alongside well-designed interiors to create a charming family home.
Peter Ogilvie, head of residential sales at Savills in Suffolk, said: “Properties as special as Ocean House are incredibly rare and don’t come to market all that often.
“Made up of well-proportioned, light-filled rooms with wonderful ceiling height, the property has many period features including sash windows and attractive gault brick detailing to the principal façade. The name ‘Ocean House’ is also inscribed in black letters.
“Currently split into two distinct parts – Ocean House and Ocean Wing – the latter is run as a successful holiday let which the new owners could continue, or, alternatively, easily connect the whole to create a substantial family home.”
Accommodation is arranged over three floors, with an additional lower ground floor currently being used as a cellar and games room.
The main entrance hall provides access to a cloak room and a dining room, which leads through into the kitchen/breakfast room.
The bedrooms are arranged over the first and second floor, with the double-aspect sitting room on the second floor enjoying panoramic views over the sea, beach and town.
Two of the first-floor bedrooms, including the principal bedroom, have their own en-suite bathrooms, as does the lone second-floor bedroom.
The other part of the house, Ocean Wing, is accessed from the rear of the property into a well-appointed kitchen with a central island and space for a dining table.
There is also a double-aspect sitting room on the ground floor and three double bedrooms arranged over the first and second floors.
A shower room and separate WC serve the first-floor bedrooms in Ocean Wing, while the second-floor principal bedroom has its own en suite, balcony and views over the ocean.
With so much space to utilise, Ocean House could easily suit a range of uses, including being expanded into a large family home comprising over 3,717 sq ft of accommodation.
Outside, the property has a courtyard garden and direct covered access to Kings Street.
Located in the heart of the coastal town of Aldeburgh within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it is just a short walk from the charming high street and sits right on the doorstep of Aldeburgh Beach.
