This delightfully renovated cottage is a cosy base for couples or families visiting the lovely seaside town of Aldeburgh and the surrounding Suffolk coastline. The town which is half a mile away boasts Georgian architecture and has independent cafes and shops so you can browse everything from clothes to antiques. Soak up some culture at the Aldeburgh Museum or The Red House where local musician Benjamin Britten composed. Take a stroll along the colourful promenade to the pebbled beach where fishermen sell their fresh wares. Located in an Area of Outstanding Beauty, you’re surrounded by nature reserves and stunning scenery. Fancy a day trip? Visit the seaside village of Thorpeness (2.5 miles), where there’s an artificial lake that you can row on as well as a myriad of trails over the heath and common land.
The property itself is a pretty and welcoming place where you will immediately feel at home. Stepping inside, you’ll notice the cosiness of this cottage in the sitting room, which has traditional wood flooring and a wood burner beside the contemporary corner sofa and bright accessories. Entertainment options are generous: there’s a TV, DVD, iPod dock, books and games, so plenty to keep everyone busy. The brightly tiled kitchen is well equipped and has a door out to the garden while the dining room, with a delightful feature wall, has a table and four chairs. The ground-floor bathroom, featuring patterned floor tiling, offers a wood-panelled, double-end bath with a hand shower, as well as a shower over the bath. Upstairs, there are two lovely bedrooms – an inviting double and a pretty twin.
