Enjoying an elevated setting, this very impressive mock Tudor property stands beside the windmill and opposite the famous 'House in the Clouds' in the unique Suffolk seaside village of Thorpeness. Built as a holiday village by Glen Stuart Ogilvie in 1928, it boasts black and white 'Tudor' buildings and cottages and a glorious 70 acre Meare dotted with many little islands and inlets – sailing dinghies and Indian canoes can be hired in summer. Ideal for family gatherings (even providing an old trunk of children's dressing up clothes), this very comfortable house has generous ⅔ acre gardens overlooking The Meare (visitors can fish from a little jetty in the lower garden). Golf is available at Thorpeness (handicap required) and Aldeburgh, 2 miles, where sailing is also a favourite sport. Bird watching, nature reserves and lovely heathland and coastal walks are on the doorstep. Sandy beaches at Walberswick and Southwold, Orford Castle and Snape Maltings Concert Hall and craft centre are all under 10 miles. Country Club, inns, restaurant and shop within ¼ mile.
