Forming part of a purpose-built 19th-century Coastguard Station, this terrace of cottages at Sizewell Gap stand as part of a remarkable chapter in Suffolk’s maritime heritage. Built as part of a national network of Coastguard housing designed to deter smuggling and provide naval reserves, the cottages—complete with their distinctive timber-clad elevations and slate roofs—were later absorbed into the Ogilvie Estate of Sizewell Hall in the mid-19th century. Now long in private hands, they offer a rare opportunity to own a piece of Suffolk’s coastal history in a beachfront setting.
