"This is a fabulous property with great views across the river & surrounding area. Really comfortable accommodation & we loved everything about it!" - Jane Rider

Constructed in 2019, this three-bedroom townhouse sits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is a boater’s paradise, whether you love getting out on the water or just sitting back and watching the boats pass by. Located at the confluence of the Rivers Stour and Orwell as they meet the North Sea, there’s always something to watch at this picturesque spot, from the docks at Felixstowe to Harwich Harbour. The peninsula’s flat, idyllic landscape offers abundant walking and cycling routes, and it’s great for birders too with the mudflats attracting wading birds, especially over winter. Hop on the foot and bicycle ferry to Harwich or Felixstowe to explore these seaside towns, and drive or take a boat trip along the Stour into Constable Country to see the beauty of Flatford Mill in the Dedham Vale (15.5 miles). The county town of Ipswich is just 10.5 miles, with a vibrant cultural scene and lively waterfront.

This contemporary three-bedroom townhouse is thoughtfully designed and beautifully presented, with underfloor heating and triple glazing throughout. The ground-floor entrance has space to store coats, shoes and bags, and a utility cupboard housing the washer/dryer. Stairs lead up to the first floor where there’s an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with a chic galley-style kitchen, a dining table for six, a light and airy sitting area with two squashy sofas, and doors to two balconies. Along the corridor, there’s a double bedroom with a balcony overlooking the estuary, another double with views of Harwich Harbour, and a family bathroom. The second floor houses the master suite with a spacious king-size bedroom, an en-suite shower room and a balcony overlooking the River Stour.

All four balconies have outdoor seating so you can admire the magical views, especially as the sun goes down and lights twinkle across the water. Outside, there’s a private pebble garden, a private beach, and space to store and launch a boat.

There was a general feeling that everything was at the minimum. No proper salt/pepper pots/only 3 dishwater tablets/minimal cushions. All small stuff but important . The views were amazing & we had a really enjoyable week but with a little effort & thought this would be a superb holiday stay
