Stylish seaside holiday home within a few minutes' walk of the beach...
Located in the delightful seaside village of Walberswick on the Suffolk Heritage Coast, Ferrins is a spacious holiday cottage tucked away in a quiet corner of the village. The cottage has recently been redecorated and is a wonderful example of fresh, contemporary mid-century modern design.
With five bedrooms, Ferrins is ideal for an extended family or two families to enjoy a traditional beach holiday or weekend away. The ground floor offers spacious and well-designed living accommodation as well as a conservatory opening on to a lovely terrace. There are three bedrooms on the ground floor (one with an en-suite shower room) and a separate shower room. Head up to the first floor and you’ll discover a family suite with two bedrooms with en-suites – one king-size with fabulous views and one twin with an extra pull-out bed available that can be requested at the time of booking. Please note that the stairs lead you up to the open plan king size bedroom, the twin room is accessed via this bedroom, there is no landing to separate the two rooms.
The cottage also benefits from three garden areas, plus parking for up to three cars and a garage which has been adapted to provide a games room. The garden to the rear of the cottage is a particular feature of the house and offers a large space for all of the family to enjoy. The area outside the conservatory and kitchen has a patio with table and chairs leading onto a grassed area enclosed with established flower borders. A beech hedge divides the garden in two and through the gate you will find a large grassed area perfect for children to play. There is also a barbeque built into a brick surround.
There is a games area housed in the garage with a high quality (Kettler) folding table tennis table, a small air hockey table and a dart board. We do request that guests use these facilities with care and consideration for the neighbours (preferably with the door closed). Shop: 200 yards. Pub: 600 yards.
