Elcho House Overview

£1,300,000

Elcho House is a distinctive two-storey residence offering 2,732 square feet of beautifully considered living space, thoughtfully designed to maximise its elevated coastal setting. Positioned to take full advantage of the sweeping views over Felixstowe Ferry Golf Club and across to the Deben Estuary and Bawdsey Manor, this architect-designed home blends timeless exterior materials with light-filled contemporary interiors.

The accommodation comprises three generous double bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, alongside a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living area with a dedicated pantry. A highlight of the home is the wraparound first-floor balcony, offering stunning dual-aspect views and extending the living space outdoors.

Additional features include a double-height entrance hall, integral double garage, utility room, and guest WC, as well as infrastructure for a future lift — providing long-term flexibility without compromise. Elcho House combines luxury, practicality, and exceptional design in one of Suffolk’s most desirable coastal locations.

Named after Lord Elcho, founder and first president of Felixstowe Ferry Golf Club, this home is a fitting tribute to both the area’s rich golfing heritage and enduring natural beauty.

The History Behind Darwin House

lcho House takes its name from Lord Elcho, a pivotal figure in the founding of Felixstowe Ferry Golf Club. As the founder and first president of the Club, Lord Elcho played a vital role in establishing what would become one of England’s oldest and most cherished links courses.

Also credited with founding the London Scottish Golf Club at Wimbledon, Lord Elcho was one of the most enthusiastic and influential golfers of his generation. His commitment to the sport and its values helped shape the early days of Felixstowe Ferry and left a lasting legacy along this remarkable stretch of coastline.

Naming this elegant home in his honour celebrates not only the tradition of the game but also the timeless character of the location — where history, landscape, and lifestyle meet.
