Home description
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 seat. 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.

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!
