Glencairn Stuart Ogilvie inherited the Sizewell Hall estate in 1908, and immediately transformed the fishing village of Thorpeness into a mock Tudor resort. 

The village largely remains as it was, offering a boating lake with islands named by Peter Pan's author, the House in the Clouds and coastal walks.

Property agent Alexander McNab, part of the residential sales team at Savills in Suffolk, said: “In the heart of Thorpeness and just moments from the beach and meare, The Courthouse forms the premier property within the iconic 1920s Ogilvie Hall.

"Expertly and sympathetically converted, I absolutely love the vaulted open-plan kitchen and sitting room; it's a spectacular space.”
