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.
