This chic, unusually spacious cottage is located just off the high street in Southwold and provides a warm welcome for couples or solo travellers holidaying in this idyllic seaside town. All the attractions including the working lighthouse, beach huts, award-winning pier, busy harbour, cliff top cannon and, of course, the long sandy beach combine to make Southwold a quintessentially English resort town. The beach runs for over a mile alongside rows of the famous Southwold beach huts to the pier which houses gift shops, a boardwalk cafe and the bizarre ‘Under the Pier Show’. The town is steeped in maritime history, and its museum and Sailor's Reading Room provides a fascinating insight into the town's past. the high street is the perfect location for some retail therapy alongside cafes and restaurants that serve quality food washed down with local ale. Take in the sights of the harbour and walk along the banks of the River Blyth, where you will find the bridge or foot ferry that will take you across the estuary to Walberswick. Surrounded by heath and marshland, Walberswick is home to a village green, tea rooms, pubs, craft, art and gifts shops. Wander at your leisure, watching local fisherman land their catch or have a go at crabbing yourself, a favourite pastime for visitors and locals alike. Further afield, visit the picturesque village of Thorpeness (16 miles) with its mock-Tudor-style houses and wonderful man-made lake known as the Meare. Take a rowing boat out on the lake and explore the Peter Pan-themed islands and enjoy the sound of tranquil waters lapping against the hull.
In a quiet town centre location, this charming home adjoins a larger property which together were once one house. French patio doors open into the wood-panelled kitchen/diner, complete with everything you’d need for a dinner for two and even space for a couple of guests. The hallway leads to a spacious living room with sofa seating, exposed wooden beams overhead and a decorative feature fireplace. There is also a cloakroom on the ground floor. A large light-filled bedroom with a king-sized bed can be found on the first floor, alongside a stylish panelled bathroom.
The courtyard garden, shared with the adjoining property, is where you will find an outdoor table and chairs, perfect for a morning coffee in the fresh Southwold air.
