Property code: OC-BARRH
A beautifully finished holiday home, created within one of Thorpeness’ striking buildings, this impressive retreat is perfect for an extended family or a group of friends. Sleeping eight guests, the attractive, four-bedroom property is arranged over four levels and enjoys an enviable position within the village. Savour the unique ambience of this location that was designed as a fantasy holiday destination back in the early 20th century. Spend time on the beach, play golf and take the children boating on the lake. Venture 2 miles into the more traditional seaside town of Aldeburgh, with its wonderful, independent shops and varied eateries serving local produce. Visit Snape Maltings, 6.5 miles away, to explore the converted buildings and enjoy a concert.
Let yourselves into the building which, like many others in Thorpeness, has latticed windows and a mock Tudor style, and you’ll find an interior with a distinctly 21st-century feel and underfloor heating. The lower ground floor offers a wonderful king-size bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a twin room and a family shower room. There is also a utility room down here. At ground-floor level there is a reception hall, where you can store your walking boots and beach sandals, and the stunning lounge/kitchen/diner with its double height ceiling and high windows that allow natural light to pour in. The kitchen area is well-equipped for food preparation and has a breakfast bar for casual meals. A sumptuous lounge has comfortable seating on which to recline as you watch TV or a DVD, and a wood burner to light on chilly days. There is also a double bedroom at this level with its own en-suite WC. Above the lounge/kitchen/diner sits a delightful glass-balustraded mezzanine area boasting views out across Thorpeness and space for dining – it also has an area with additional comfortable seating and another TV. The second floor of the holiday home encompasses a super-king-size bedroom, with zip-and-link beds that can be arranged as twins if discussed at booking, and a pretty wet room.
The shared grounds at this exceptional property are beautiful. Within them is your own private patio with garden furniture, and another private seating space with a bistro table.
