This colourful terraced cottage is perfect for a small family or a group of friends looking to enjoy a seaside escape. It is set on the historic high street of the seaside town of Aldeburgh with several shops and restaurants within easy reach. The beach is also just 100 metres away. The town has an interesting history dating back to Tudor times and a venerable shipbuilding past. Visitors can find out more at the town museum as they explore the town. With pretty pastel-painted fishermen’s cottages, independent galleries and interesting shops, Aldeburgh is fun to discover. There is also a lively bar and restaurant scene and a thriving cultural community. This was the birthplace of Benjamin Britton who founded and ran the annual Aldeburgh Festival that still takes place today. The town is set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so it’s an ideal location for walkers and birdwatchers. The nearby estuary, marshes and shingle banks are home to a wide variety of birdlife and other wildlife. Sailing enthusiasts might like to visit the yacht club at nearby Slaughden 1 mile away.
The cottage is accessed off of the street and guests enter directly into the welcoming living room with wooden floors and a large bay window. This space is also used as a dining area with a wooden table set up by the window. Cosy up by the wood burner-effect gas fire and watch a film on the TV. A compact kitchen is to be found at the rear of the home with access to the courtyard through the French doors. The shower room is also on the ground floor with a large walk-in shower and a WC. Upstairs are the two guest bedrooms. The master bedroom is a double with views out to the sea. The second is a twin room with a large bay window facing the street.
An enclosed courtyard garden lies to the rear of the home accessed via the kitchen. This is a sunny and sheltered spot with patio furniture where guests can enjoy dining and drinks alfresco whilst admiring the feature wall.
