Property code: OC-16AFAW

Plan a seaside getaway to this beautiful bolthole right in the heart of the vibrant, artist’s hub that is Aldeburgh. Set on the coast with a long shingle beach expanding out in either direction, there’s plenty of opportunity to enjoy a dip in the sea, long walks along the shore or sit and lay down a towel to read a book. The central location means that you can easily explore this quaint town that’s full of independent shops, galleries and cafes. Ensure you take a trip 2 miles along the coast to Thorpeness, another seaside town with a whimsical twist – it was redesigned in 1910 to have mock Tudor houses and a shallow, artificial boating lake inspired by Peter Pan.

A fabulous, open-plan kitchen/sitting room sits across the ground floor, and overlooks the courtyard, while in the dining room a contemporary five-seater table is the perfect place to bring the family together. The space is filled with light thanks to its beautiful design and large doors which allow easy access to the outside space. Upstairs on the first floor, take your pick of three beautiful bedrooms that have been thoughtfully decorated to create calming places to sleep. There’s one double bedroom, a single bedroom with a beautiful sea view, and a double bedroom with storage and sea views that also boasts its own en-suite shower room. Lastly, a cleanly styled, contemporary bathroom offers a bath with a shower over it and a heated towel rail too for warm, fluffy towels when you step out of the shower.

Open up the doors from the kitchen space onto the delightful garden area – on sunny days, it’s a wonderful space for sitting to dine and catch up in the fresh air.

A cosy property. A little on the small side in terms of comfortable seating but in warmer weather less of a problem as outdoor seating provided. I was surprised the beds were standard doubles - I consider this small as most places have king size beds these days.

The real boon of this property is the location! Perfectly sited close to the beach and the high street but in a lovely quiet residential road. The parking space is a great addition.

This house is in a great location (especially for the Cross Keys and chip shop!) and the parking space is a great stress reducer! We stayed for Christmas and had plenty of room for our family of four and a dog. The garden must be an added bonus in sunnier months.

There were no forks in the house but you got some to us in just over an hour. The property could have been cleaner. It was quite dusty and some parts were a bit grubby. A 46 double bed is also a bit uncomfortable for two people and a 5 bed could have easily fitted in the rooms. Apart from that, we thought it was a great place to stay.

A modern property with an attractive original frontage, in an excellent location just a few minutes walk from the High St. It has a much sought after parking space on the drive and we noticed an electric car charger ( although we had no need to use this ourselves) as an added bonus.
