A 19th-century cottage which incorporates a former eighteenth-century dairy, this magnificent property is just yards away from the celebrated Gun Hill and stunning beaches of Southwold. The entire area is peppered with historical remnants including the cannons on the hill, the working lighthouse, and a cheerful harbour lined with gently bobbing boats. There’s plenty to amuse guests of all ages, whether you are strolling along the pier, enjoying the traditional amusements, or feeling the sand between your toes. Foodies will rejoice at the number of eateries available for you to sample, but nothing beats a delicious fish & chips supper on the seafront watching the sun set. Further afield, the Suffolk countryside promises adventures galore amongst the tapestry of green hills, ethereal woodland and farmland.
Step inside via the entrance hall to discover a charming interior that’s a perfect blend of historic charm and contemporary living, demonstrated by original brick floors and stylish decor. First, the living/dining area is situated within the garden room, an impressive space filled with natural light. Throw open the French doors for an al fresco vibe at breakfast, feasting on delicious bacon and eggs and savouring your morning coffee. There’s a window seat for perching with the papers, and in the evening you’ll be able to watch TV or play a DVD from the comfort of the deep sofas. Slip away to the Snug to watch BT Sport or read a book in peace or catch up with some admin tasks at the handy desk. The kitchen is the essence of country cottage-style with its breakfast table and stylish units, a treat for even the most discerning of chefs. There’s even a utility room to take care of muddy clothes and shoes, plus a downstairs shower room for convenience. Climbing the stairs will reveal the three bedrooms, each one individually styled with soothing decor and comfortable furniture. You’ll have a choice of a double, twin or a single, all of which are a welcome sight once you’ve had a long soak in the bathroom.
Outside, the vast expanse of lawn gives way to the landscape beyond, where you can step through a gate to reach South Green. Afternoon tea, evening drinks and elaborate dinners can be enjoyed outdoors whilst the children play on the grass, rounding off with stargazing and marshmallows on the BBQ.
