Welcome to Balfour Place: A Landmark in Luxury Living
Balfour Place is an exclusive collection of just five individually designed residences, set within a truly unique coastal location in Felixstowe, Suffolk. Thoughtfully positioned on the edge of Felixstowe Ferry Golf Club and overlooking the Deben Estuary, this private development is nestled within an official Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty — one of the few remaining places in East Anglia where the landscape remains largely unchanged by time.
From the outset, the vision for Balfour Place was to create homes that respect the character of the area while offering contemporary, energy-efficient living for the discerning buyer. Designed by the award-winning Wincer Kievenaar Architects, each property has been individually named and styled to reflect both the coastal surroundings and the long-standing heritage of Felixstowe Ferry.
The history
A Setting Steeped in Heritage and Natural Charm
Felixstowe Ferry is one of Suffolk’s hidden gems — a tranquil hamlet that sits where the River Deben meets the North Sea. Rich in maritime history and surrounded by miles of unspoilt coastline, the area is known for its big skies, coastal walks, and welcoming community. The Ferry itself offers a riverside pub, working boatyard, and a seasonal foot ferry to Bawdsey across the water.
Just a few minutes’ walk from the development lies the Felixstowe Ferry Golf Club — Suffolk’s only links course and one of the oldest in England, dating back to 1880. As part of their purchase, every homeowner at Balfour Place receives a complimentary two-year membership for two adults and two juniors.
The wider town of Felixstowe, with its charming seafront, cafes, shops, and cultural attractions, is only a short drive away — while excellent transport links connect you easily to Woodbridge, Ipswich, and London Liverpool Street.
The location
Architecture That Blends With the Landscape
These striking homes are arranged around a carefully considered layout that prioritises privacy, natural light, and panoramic views. Architectural features include angled rooflines, crow’s nest living spaces, and expansive windows that frame the estuary and golf course beyond. Natural materials, muted tones, and high-quality finishes have been used throughout to harmonise with the landscape and evoke a quiet sophistication.
The homes are fully turnkey, offering generous open-plan living areas, three to four en-suite double bedrooms, state-of-the-art MVHR systems, and the flexibility for buyers to personalise key interior finishes, including kitchens, bathrooms, and flooring. Optional home lifts are also available to future-proof each residence.
