5 Centre Cliff forms part of the historic Centre Cliff estate, originally associated with Centre Cliff House dating from 1829. The site evolved into the renowned Centre Cliff Hotel during Southwold's Victorian heyday and was significantly enlarged at the turn of the twentieth century, when the wing now known as No. 5 was constructed as the hotel's ballroom.

Following military occupation and wartime damage during the Second World War, the upper storeys of the hotel were removed in the 1940s before the building was carefully converted into the collection of prestigious residences seen today. The property therefore represents a rare opportunity to own a distinctive piece of Southwold's architectural and seaside heritage.
