  • Stylishly furnished, recently renovated property a short walk from the beach and promenade

Property code: OC-AABRIA

This recently renovated property is located in the heart of the picturesque town of Southwold. Just 0.2 miles from the beach, this house is the ideal base for exploring this special part of Suffolk. The many delights of Southwold, including the pier, Grade II-listed lighthouse, historic harbour, sandy beach and independent high street are all on the doorstep and it has the real feel of a quintessentially English seaside resort. Why not take a trip to the infamous Adnams Brewery and sample some ale, or head into the surrounding countryside by foot or on two wheels and explore the beautiful scenery? During the summer months, guests can take a walk-on ferry over to the pretty village of Walberswick with its pretty shoreline and family attractions. As part of the Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there are a great many trails and walks from the property that take in the spectacular coast and countryside.

Head through the front door of his stylish home and discover a living area that, thanks to careful zoning, is spacious yet cosy, with a bright and cheerful interior with a wood burner to gather around on chillier evenings. The dining area is a very attractive space with French doors and large dining table. It partly extends into the conservatory allowing light to flood in and fabulous views out over the garden. The kitchen is sleek and contemporary with everything required for a self-catering break. The ground floor also contains two bedrooms – an inviting king-size room with an en-suite shower room and a pretty twin. There’s also a bright and stylish family bathroom. Up on the first floor are two more lovely, light and bright bedrooms – a king and a twin, the latter of which has a Smart TV,  perfect for an early night or a lazy lie-in. There’s also another bathroom on this floor so hopefully no queues for the shower!

The outside of the property is also a great space. Directly outside the French doors is a great patio space with seating and then a few steps take you up to the enclosed lawned area which has more bench seating - perfect for catching the last rays of the sun or for that first cup of coffee of the morning.

Tardis like property, much bigger on the inside. Very comfortable bedrooms and three bathrooms really made life easy with 3 family groups staying. The kids loved their bedroom with TV. Slightly cramped kitchen but well equipped nonetheless. Excellent location just 5 minutes walk from beach and pier and no problems parking. Large garden.

The house provides excellent accommodation in a very convenient location. For anyone who, like my mother, is not very mobile, the en suite bedroom, living room, dining room, kitchen and patio all on ground level are ideal. The sea front and pier are 5-10 minutes walk in one direction and the town centre the same distance in another. Off-road parkRead moreing is also a bonus in a town like Southwold. Hide

Lovely holiday, perfect location for the beach and town, peaceful garden and plenty of room for 03 children, elderly aunt (easy flat access was very important) and wife and I. The cafe round the corner (a minutes walk) was also extremely convenient for fussy eaters!

The property is very comfortable and in a fantastic location with ample parking. This was our second visit and we will probably return again. The property adequately accommodates 8 people. We did have a small issue with the heating but the owners were great and very prompt yo resolve the problem. I would definitely recommend the property.

What a beautiful place! elegant yet comfy too, a perfect home from home. The garden was just wonderful for our four legged friends, a joy to sit in and relax at the end of the day of beach walks for us too. The location is perfect, near everything (beach, pier, shops and pubs) but quiet and peaceful too. On practicalities; Spotlessly clean, Read morewell equipped, parking space available and parking on the road easily available too (guess that may be different in summer), heating etc instructions clear, easy to use. So impressed will be booking again! Hide

Lovely cottage and in a great location. It's a great size for 8 people and has a really nice flow to it. The quality of the furniture and kitchen items was excellent. There are a couple of issues we have flagged to the owner ie the dishwasher really needs replacing and all the sinks, taps etc need the limescale removing. Simple things to fixRead more.
