About this property

Located in the heart of Southwold, 17 Market Place is a beautifully restored four bedroom maisonette that effortlessly blends historical charm with modern luxury. Dating back to 1716, this property offers a unique mix of old-world character and contemporary comfort. Guests can enjoy stunning views of the market square as an idyllic backdrop for a truly memorable stay.

The interior of 17 Market Place has been meticulously restored to offer a high-quality and comfortable retreat. Each of the four spacious bedrooms has been thoughtfully designed, with one featuring an en-suite complete with a bath with hand-held shower. The family bathroom boasts a freestanding bath and a walk-in waterfall shower. Additionally, the property benefits from one allocated parking space, a rare find in the town centre.

Originally built as a merchant’s house, 17 Market Place boasts a fascinating history. In 1848, it briefly served as the Sole Bay Academy, founded by Henry Knevett Bransby, who sought to offer an exclusive education to young gentlemen. The ambitious curriculum included subjects such as Greek and Latin, navigation, and music, though the academy closed in 1851 after Bransby was declared bankrupt. The building then operated as a bank for much of the 20th century, with residential units added to the upper floors, offering separate access since the 1970s. The former meeting room has now been renovated into the sitting room of The Lookout, preserving many of the original features and giving it a unique and stylish finish.

You can book this as a sleeps-four option by searching for: 17 Market Place (4). Alternatively, you can book our one-bedroom ground floor annexe, which shares the terrace, by searching for: The Vault. For larger groups or more space, you can book both properties together by searching for 17 Market Place and The Vault.
