8 Park Road

Tucked away on a side street off Aldeburgh High Street, this cosy two-storey cottage offers a comfortable and welcoming base to explore the Suffolk coast. Famous for its pebble beach, colourful seafront properties, and renowned fish and chip shop, Aldeburgh offers the best of the British seaside. It has a vibrant art and cultural scene with several galleries located in the town and the annual Aldeburgh Literary Festival every March. Composer Benjamin Britten lived here, something marked by a seashell sculpture on the beach and a classical music festival held at nearby Snape Maltings every June (6.5 miles). Walkers can lace up their boots and explore the gorgeous coastal scenery of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, while birdwatchers will adore nearby RSPB Minsmere (9 miles).

This is a compact and comfortable mid-terrace cottage, with a coastal theme running through the stylish interior. The front door leads straight into a bright and airy lounge, with a choice of comfortable seating and a TV and DVD. A door leads into the homely dining room, with an archway leading to the smart, contemporary kitchen. A staircase in the dining area goes up to the first floor, where there’s a spacious double bedroom at the front of the property. A single bedroom on the other side of the landing follows through into a light and bright family bathroom.

A rear patio with a bench and an outdoor table and chairs offers a lovely spot to make the most of the warmer weather. This holiday cottage comes with private parking for one car to the rear, a real added bonus for Aldeburgh. Shop: 150 yards Pub: 100 yards.

Aldeburgh and the surrounding area has inspired many authors and poets in the past but the most famous son of the town is Benjamin Britten who founded the Aldeburgh Music Festival which now has worldwide acclaim and is held every year in June at Snape Maltings. Fishermen still pull their colourful boats up on the shingle beach and sell fresh fish from the picturesque huts. The wide, mainly Georgian high street has many attractive buildings whilst the seafront properties all have commanding views of the beach and the North Sea. Boating is popular on the nearby Alde estuary where a large variety of yachts can be seen at summer weekends.
