A relaxing coastal retreat perfectly suited for a family holiday or perhaps two couples travelling together, this characterful property is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Southwold’s high street yet still within minutes of the town’s sandy beach, pier, boutique shops and galleries, pubs and places to eat. You won’t need the car as there is much to do here, whether strolling along the pier (marvelling at its quirky slot machines), wandering along to the harbour, boating lake or putting green, or simply enjoying the town’s pretty seaside architecture. Tour the famous Adnam’s Brewery, take in a film at the Electric Picture Palace with its rising Wurlitzer organ, hire a bike to explore the coastal scenery and surrounding villages, or catch the rowing-boat ferry across the River Blyth to Walberswick, where you will find pubs, tea rooms, restaurants and boutique shops, as well as a lovely sand-and-shingle beach.
The handsome facade of this brick-built, two-storey townhouse hints at the treasures inside. The hallway leads to the lounge, with its ornamental period fireplace, choice of seating and shelves of books, and then the dining room, a bright room with another beautiful fireplace and glazed French doors leading out to the courtyard. From here, the beautiful kitchen has plenty of storage, including a lovely glazed display cupboard, and an arched doorway through which is accessed the downstairs bathroom. On the first floor, the spacious principal bedroom is at the front, with a gorgeous king-size metal bed. The second king-size bedroom is in the centre of the house, with access through it to both the bunk-bed room and a second bathroom at the rear.
The courtyard garden that runs the length of the kitchen, with a bistro dining set for two, is a sweet space in which to breathe in the seaside air, sip your morning coffee or enjoy an evening meal.
