Description
In a peaceful, cliff-top location, by the edge of the beach,The Avocet is a charming single level apartment so perfect for a couple looking to escape to the restful Suffolk coastline. Situated at Wardens Hall near Ness House, The Avocet is just seconds from the beach via a small pathway; a true beauty all year round and so popular with all ages. A coastal footpath runs along the top of the cliff edge meaning you can take a gentle stroll towards Thorpeness and Aldeburgh should you wish to explore on foot - the views from this high vantage point are breathtaking and really will make you feel 'on-top-of-the-world'. Be sure to stop off at The Dolphin pub halfway for a spot of lunch or perhaps a warming tipple on your way or on your way home ! Keen fishermen may wish to try their luck in the North Sea, whilst others may wish to sit and paint, read, bird watch or sunbathe.
This lovely apartment is part of Wardens Hall (Wardens Trust) and is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It offer wonderful opportunities for cycling enthusiasts, birdwatchers and those interested in its natural flora and fauna and wildlife. Surrounded by an abundance of footpaths, it has become a popular area for keen walkers and hikers.
With the beach within walking distance, you really couldn't be closer to the sea. A bracing walk or a jog is a must to enjoy this breathtaking surrounding. Of course, those who wish to travel further afield will be pleased to know that the likes of Dunwich, Walberswick, Southwold, Woodbridge, Orford and Snape are all within driving distance - making The Avocet an ideal year-round escape.
