About the home

This lovely spacious house is ideal for a special occasion or a large family group. It has just been completely renovated to a very high standard and is beautifully furnished in an eclectic mix of modern and antique furniture. The rooms are large, light and sunny and a particular feature is the wonderful and enormous kitchen, an archway leads to the dining room with French doors and views of the garden beyond.

The house is an ideal base for exploring the beautiful and unspoilt Suffolk seaside town of Aldeburgh. It is within 5 minutes walk of the high street and beach with its heady mix of boutiques and gift shops, ice cream parlours and art galleries. Fresh fish can be bought daily from local fisherman on the beach and there is even a life boat station to explore!

The property is half of a very large Edwardian house with spacious light rooms, high celings and window seats. The private enclosed garden is ideal for the children to play in or to relax and have a glass of wine with table and chairs and a bbq provided. This is an extremely comfortable house with two sitting rooms and space for all with several doors onto the south facing garden.

Tennis courts are within a 2 minute walk, there is an excellent golf course (9 and 18 holes) and the children's boat pond all add to the charms of this lovely town. Wireless broadband is available.

The house has been rated 4 Star by Visit Britain.

There is a good range of restaurants in the town itself from smart ones for that special occasion to excellent fish and chips to eat on the beach watching the sun go down! Please ask when you book if you would like more information about this prior to your visit.

Suffolk is a lovely unspoilt part of England, easy to get to (2 hours to London) and yet retaining its olde worlde charm. The region is known for its charming fishing villages, excellent food, particularly fish and lovely unspoilt villages.

The nearby village of Thorpeness has a great boating lake where sailing boats, canoes and rowing boats can be hired by the house. Minnismere Bird Sanctuary is ten miles to the north and offers wonderful opportunities for walking and bird watching in this unspoilt coastal sanctuary.

Southwold, just voted in the top ten seaside towns in the country is 40 minutes north and well worth a visit. 'Go Ape' is about an hour an half north of the house in Thetford Forest - ideal for an active day out as long as you like heights!

The Aldeburgh area

Aldeburgh itself has excellent facilities, tennis courts, golf club with a good 9 hole course and an excellent 18 hole links course, sailing club, boating pond, cinema, summer theatre. The town is renowned for its boutiques, delicatessans and art galleries. The walks are wonderful both inland into the open marshes that surround the town and along the beach with a visit to the sculpture on the beach is a must! The area is very flat so cycling is easy and bikes can be hired in the town.

The world famous music festival hall at Snape Maltings, built by Benjamin Brittain, is within 2 miles of the town.
