A modern four-bed family home has hit the market with a price tag of £900,000 and one distinct feature which sellers are hoping will attract a buyer: a slide connecting the top and ground floors.
The quirky property in Reydon, near Southwold, Suffolk, boasts an open plan, sun-drenched kitchen and dining room with bi-folding doors leading out to the garden.
It is about a 15-minute walk to the beach and has sea views.
But the most exciting feature – and the one that listing agent Durrants hopes will help to secure the perfect buyer, is the metal slide which pops out through an arched accent in the hallway.
The two floors are also separated by a conventional flight of stairs.
The property listing reads: ‘To get back down to the ground floor, you can of course take the stairs. But why would you when the property benefits from its own slide to effortlessly return to the ground floor level.
‘Great fun for kids of all ages.’

The quirky property in Reydon, near Southwold, Suffolk, boasts an open plan, sun-drenched kitchen and dining room with bi-folding doors leading out to the garden
There is a separate lounge, utility room and toilet and the first of four bedrooms is downstairs in the converted bungalow.
The remaining three bedrooms are upstairs – one with an en suite – plus the main bathroom.
According to the listing, the open plan kitchen-dining-living space is ‘without a doubt the heart of the home’.
‘The rooms on the ground floor flow effortlessly, weaving together contrasting materials, textures, colours and finishes.
‘This wonderful space is bathed in natural light courtesy of the bi-folding doors overlooking the garden and measures almost 10m x 10m in size.
‘In the kitchen area, dark cupboards provide a contrast to the rest of the house, providing a refined and stylish distinction.’
The listing agent said the biggest of the rooms – on the first floor – has sea views and is so spacious it could easily be turned into two double rooms with a cleverly placed dividing wall.

The home boasts four bedrooms and a utility room, but one of the rooms could comfortably be split to make an extra room
‘The main bedroom is beautifully light and has south-west facing views, a dressing room/wardrobe area and an en-suite shower room,’ the listing reads.
‘Elevated views from the window extend across to Southwold. Also on the first floor is a family bathroom which comprises a separate bath and shower.’
One prospective buyer said: ‘I’d buy this just for the slide.’
Another said ‘love this’, while a third said it was ‘so fun’.
Removal firm Bishop’s Move joked: ‘It would make carrying the furniture downstairs so much easier.’
An established hedge lines the front garden, with a path connecting to the rear garden and leading to the detached garage.
The property is advertised on Rightmove. The listing agent is taking viewing appointments.
The listing agent said the elevated views of the sea should also entice buyers for the £900,000 property
