This charming cottage has a fabulous location in the centre of Southwold, less than half a mile from the high street which leads to the beach and pier. The marketplace includes an excellent range of small shops including a greengrocer, a family butcher and a delicatessen. The upper promenade is ideal for a peaceful stroll at any time of the year and a nearby footpath takes you down to the harbour, where you can take a foot ferry in the summer to go crabbing in Walberswick (2 miles away).

Walk through the stable door and into a cosy and comfortable sitting room with a corner sofa, a selection of books, and a gas fire, as well as an armchair in front of a sash window with views out onto the town. The generously sized kitchen features the original tile floor and includes a dining area and a stable door leading out to the patio and garden. There is also a cloakroom with WC on the ground floor. Cottage-style stairs lead to the first floor, where you’ll find a double bedroom with a vintage iron bed and French doors that open to a Juliet balcony with views of the garden and Southwold Common. A twin bedroom has a charming sash window, and the bathroom features a skylight and a shower over the bath.

The door from the kitchen leads to a small shared alleyway and beyond this a private patio area with modern garden furniture. The garden leads to a pagoda with unspoilt views over Southwold Common.

Broken shower . Back gate not attached to wall because the post was rotten. Had to manually lift the gate into position.

An excellent location. Bijou but quite well appointed. A lovely garden. The staircase is very steep.

Christmas Cottage is cute and cosy - perfect for a small family. The garden is lovely with plenty of space for little ones to run and play. Be aware of the steep stairs - you may need a stair gate. The property is close to the playground and the common - excellent for letting off steam!
