Gather your favourite people for a seaside escape at this beautiful house in Thorpeness. It was one of the original buildings built in the village. The property sleeps nine and sits in the heart of the village, with Suffolk’s spectacular Heritage Coast right on your doorstep. Just 200 metres from Thorpeness Beach, you can spend sunny afternoons swimming in the sea or walking along the Suffolk Coast Path. Thorpeness itself is a fascinating place to explore, with its Tudor-style architecture and famous Meare, where you can hire rowing boats and discover Peter Pan-inspired islands. There is an excellent pub and cafe. A scenic walk or cycle to the neighbouring seaside town of Aldeburgh (2 miles) is well worth a visit for its independent shops and famous fish and chips, best enjoyed overlooking the shingle beach. Nature lovers can head to RSPB Minsmere (8 miles) to spot rare birds, while Snape Maltings (7 miles) offers a renowned concert hall. There are also numerous walks from the doorstep through heathland and along the coastline.
Admire the impressive Tudor-style facade before entering the hallway. To the right, the spacious kitchen has a traditional farmhouse feel, with an impressive AGA taking centre stage alongside country-style worktops and a range of modern appliances. A breakfast table offers space for more informal meals, while the separate sitting room/diner provides a second dining area where everyone can gather. The sitting room is particularly striking, with exposed black-and-white beams overhead and a unique fireplace housing a wood burner. Built-in upholstered bench seating and a comfortable sofa complete the space, offering a cosy spot to relax in front of the Smart TV or play board games. The ground floor is completed by a charming double bedroom with an en-suite shower room and a separate WC. Upstairs, three beautifully presented bedrooms offer a choice of sleeping arrangements, including a king-size, a double, and a triple room with three single beds. Each has its own inviting appeal, while a contemporary family bathroom completes the accommodation.
You’ll find two spaces for outdoor relaxation. To the front, a large enclosed patio features bench seating, perfect for quiet morning coffees. To the rear, an enclosed garden offers plenty of space to play on the lawn before gathering on the furnished patio for al fresco meals. Parking for two cars at the front of the house completes the picture, allowing for stress-free coastal day trips
