Property code: OC-CHFC

This charming property is set opposite the Grade II-listed St Peter and St Paul’s Church in the centre of Aldeburgh, with the high street and the beach less than half a mile away. The town and the surrounding area have inspired many authors and poets, the most famous being the composer Benjamin Britten, who founded the Aldeburgh Music Festival which is held every year in Snape Maltings (7 miles away). Fishermen still pull their colourful boats up on the shingle beach and sell their haul from picturesque huts, and a large variety of yachts can be seen at summer weekends on the nearby Alde estuary. Head to the high street to browse antique shops, boutiques and independent book shops, learn more about the history of the town at Aldeburgh Museum or stroll to the beach to see the incredible ‘Scallop’ sculpture.

The cottage itself has a welcoming feel, with wooden floors downstairs and neutral decor throughout. Comfortable leather sofas are set around a wood burner-effect gas fire in the lounge, and the dining room has a wooden table and chairs for six guests. The kitchen has all you need should you wish to cook for yourselves, and the sunny conservatory is a great place to escape with a book next to the handy reading lamp. There is also a convenient cloakroom on the ground-floor level. Find the three bedrooms upstairs – two doubles (one with an en-suite shower room) and a single. The bathroom features a shower over the bath.

The private garden is a great place to relax in on a summer’s evening and you’ll find garden furniture in the storage area.

  • 3 bedrooms – 2 doubles, 1 single

Great location. House is definitely quirky, with uneven floors and low doorways and a very steep staircase, as well as a normal one. Its maybe better suited to summer stays rather than winter, as heating was not sufficient.

We enjoyed our stay and would certainly look this cottage again. It's in a great location a few minutes walk to the beach or town and links to footpaths. A nice size enclosed garden for dogs too.

Loved this very interesting and spacious cottage. Good location with excellent dog-proof garden. Lovely kitchen providing all equipment you might need. Aldeburgh very dog friendly with most eating places/pubs allowing dogs. Just be aware of uneven floor levels throughout the cottage, particularly upstairs.

Fabulous cottage full of character, well equipped, comfy beds. Low doors may be difficult if you are tall. Perfect garden for the dogs, very secure. We loved it. A great base to explore Suffolk with many nice walks close by.

I love this cottage but over the last eight years I have watched it deteriorate. So sad as its one of the perfect hidden gems in Aldeburgh.

Lovely, characterful cottage in an excellent location. The bag of welcome food gifts was a delightful surprise. The car parking caused an issue because it was very difficult to squeeze past the neighbour's car on the drive.

Cottage is very spacious and comfortable and, of course, in an excellent location. The bag of goodies - both for humans and dogs - was very well received. We already knew Aldeburgh of old, but would happily stay in Church Farm Cottage again.

We found this cottage warm, comfortable and quiet, with thought having been put into equipment, facilities and furnishings. Equipment/heating are simple to use - a bonus! It's in a great position in Aldeburgh, with lots of excellent walks/runs for people/dogs, as well as shops and eating places. Thank you for a great stay over New Year.

Very happy with everything regarding the cottage. Parking could cause issues as once you are parked up you may get blocked by neighbours. Not their fault it is more that these are old properties and not designed to accommodate cars ..

The kitchen windows needed a jolly good clean, and generally the property was very cobwebby. Some towels would also benefit from being replaced.
