Description - Coachman’s Cottage, Southwold – A Historic Gem in an Enviable Setting
Coachman’s Cottage is aptly named, forming part of the former stable yard buildings once serving the grand Southwold House. Believed to date from the early 19th century, the cottage is one of a pair that flank the original entrance to the stable yard—an arrangement that adds to its historic charm and visual appeal.
The cottage features attractive stucco elevations beneath a striking black glazed pantile roof, hipped at the front. Its symmetrical sash windows provide a pleasing frontage and offer delightful views down Constitution Hill, lending an air of quiet elegance. This characterful home offers surprisingly generous accommodation, full of warmth, period features, and enduring charm.
Upon entering, one is welcomed into an elegant sitting room with classic sash windows, a traditional fireplace, and a staircase that gently rises to the first floor. A side hallway leads to a stable-style half-glazed door opening onto a shared courtyard. Off the hallway, you'll find a modern shower room and a deep, practical storage cupboard.
A versatile reception room, currently used as a study or library, offers a peaceful retreat and leads into the heart of the home—a spacious, light-filled kitchen and dining area. This room boasts a high ceiling, glazed casement doors, and a wonderfully bright atmosphere. These doors open onto a recessed open space adorned with potted plants, creating a vibrant green wall that brings the outdoors in.
Upstairs, the cottage offers three comfortable bedrooms served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom, complete with a freestanding bath and a large walk-in shower. The two principal bedrooms at the front enjoy lovely views over a small green bordering Gardner Road, with distant glimpses of Southwold Common and the Town Marshes.
In all, Coachman’s Cottage represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Southwold’s heritage. Perfectly situated for exploring this much-loved seaside town, it also provides easy access to the stunning landscapes of the Suffolk Heritage Coast—designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
