Aldeburgh

Fronted with two full-height bow windows looking out to sea, this Edwardian villa has been carefully restored on the outside and eased open internally to manage the needs of a modern dwelling.

With a restricted plot and excellent views from the top, a small pair of single-storey flanking extensions provide additional family living spaces to the rear at ground level while generous new dormer windows front and back celebrate the coastal views and create a bright and airy new loft-level master suite added to the existing accommodation on two levels.  Targeted internal structural alterations allow daylight into the heart of the home and enable a more flexible and contemporary layout.

Externally, original brick-mullion semi-circular bay windows, Flemish brickwork, cast iron railings and plain tile roof have been expertly restored.
