About this property

Located in the heart of Southwold, 17 Market Place and The Vault is a beautifully restored five-bedroom property that combines historical charm with modern comfort. Sleeping ten guests across two connected properties. 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.

17 Market Place is a characterful four-bedroom maisonette that sleeps eight. Inside, you’ll find a spacious sitting room, a well-equipped kitchen/dining area, and two bathrooms, one featuring a free-standing bath and walk-in waterfall shower, the other an en-suite with a bath and hand-held shower. Views of the market square and an allocated parking space add to the appeal of this elegant town-centre home.

On the ground floor, with a separate entrance from the same enclosed terrace, The Vault is a former banking vault transformed into a charming ground-floor retreat that sleeps two. It is a stylish one-bedroom annexe. Fully self-contained, it includes a double bedroom, modern bathroom with a bath and shower over, and an open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area, perfect for guests seeking extra privacy or minimal steps for access.

Dating back to 1716, both buildings have a fascinating history, having served as a merchant’s house, private academy, and bank. Today, it offers a unique and memorable base to explore Southwold, just moments from the market square and a short stroll to the beach.

17 Market Place and The Vault can also be booked separately. Search for: 17 Market Place (sleeps eight), 17 Market Place (4) (sleeps four) or The Vault (Sleeps two).

  • The Southwold Seven 

    The Lookout? more like the lookWOW! Seven ladies walked in for a weekend of fund and relaxation - & none of use wanted to leave! The place is so beautiful we were convinced we'd accidently stumbled into the pages of a coastal interiors magazine. The beds, comfier than a cloud wearing a memory form mattress. We slept like queens after days of laughter, wine and repeatedly sayings. 'I could live here, you know'. Thank you for the most wonderful stay! with love The Southwold Seven

    Absolutely loved our short break staying at The Lookout in Southwold. The accommodation is beautifully decorated, stylishly furnished and situated in the most perfect location, central to town and a few minutes walk to the beach. We cooked a roast on Easter Sunday and found the kitchen perfectly stocked with everything we required. The only negative was that we wished we could have stayed longer.
