Location
White House Cottage is located off Red House Farm Lane, on Beach Lane in a particularly special, stand-alone position.  This is an Area of Outstanding National Beauty and White House Cottage is less than a mile from the beach.  Bawdsey itself benefits from a primary school which is within walking distance of White House Cottage.  The village is situated approximately ten miles to the south-east of the historic market town of Woodbridge.  It is four miles from the picturesque sailing hamlet of Ramsholt with its popular public house that is located on the banks of the River Deben.  The property is also two miles from Bawdsey Ferry.  Woodbridge is well known for its eclectic mix of shops, pubs and cafes.  There are further sailing facilities on the river Alde and Ore at Orford, which is approximately twelve miles along the coast.  There are excellent recreational facilities in the immediate local area, as well as in Tunstall and Rendlesham Forest which are also easily accessible.   The ferry from Bawdsey to Felixstowe provides regular access to the south side of the river Deben and popular Felixstowe Golf Club.
  
Description
White House Cottage is a detached dwelling with rendered elevations under a tiled roof.  It is anticipated that an incoming buyer will carry out a general modernisation and refurbishment programme. The property benefits from a relatively modern kitchen, some UPVC double glazed windows and doors, and an oil fired central heating system.  Due to the work required to the property and also the points in Notes 4 and 5, it is envisaged that the buyer of the property will require cash funds as mortgage companies may not be keen to lend.

A door to the rear of the house provides access to a boot room/reception room, off which is a downstairs shower room and also a utility room that has high and low level wall units, a sink and space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.  It is also home to the oil fired boiler.  Off the boot room is the open-plan kitchen/dining room.  This triple aspect room has high and low level wall units with space and plumbing for a dishwasher and bottled gas stove.  The dining room has a wood burning stove and door to the garden.  Adjacent is the 22’ x 13’ sitting room which overlooks the garden.  This has a brick fireplace with a wood burning stove and double doors opening to a basic timber framed conservatory.  Stairs from the dining room rise to the first floor landing off which are three double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a bathroom with airing cupboard.  All of the bedrooms have views over the garden and adjacent fields.

Outside
The property is approached off Beach Lane, which is a private, concrete drive, providing off-road parking.  This leads to a prefabricated double garage with up-and-over doors to the front.  Internally it is sub-divided with each section measuring approximately 16’ x 8’.

The main gardens lay predominantly to the south and west of the house.  These are laid to grass and contain mature trees.  The gardens are mainly enclosed by hedging.  In all, the grounds extend to approximately 0.4 acres.
