The quirks of this property are continued upstairs, where a king-size bedroom with a wood panelled feature wall creates a space to cosy down for the night, after you enjoy a refreshing shower or a soak amongst the bubbles in the contemporary bathroom, and the hidden treasure of this property is a mezzanine level found in the bedroom, where a wooden ladder leads to a level where you will find more storage and a wonderful snug, great for curling up with a book and a cup of tea. Outside, breakfast can be had in the yard before you head out to explore the local area. teaming with fashionable eateries serving a variety of food and stylish boutique shops, Aldeburgh is a fantastic coastal town with a lot to offer.

The popular, vibrant seaside town of Aldeburgh is famous for its culture, traditional feel and one of the best fish and chip shops in the country! Aldeburgh and Snape Maltings are home to one of the world’s greatest music festivals and has been named as one of the top 50 places to live in Britain. Crag Path runs along the seafront dividing the beautiful pebbly beach from the unspoilt pastel-coloured seafront properties and the town. The beach is a popular place for groups and couples to enjoy the wonderful fish and chips throughout the summer months. The town is steeped in history and has become a wonderful town for shopping with a good mixture of independent and chain stores to enjoy. The town also offers a good selection of pubs and restaurants or why not buy some freshly caught fish from the huts on the seafront and cook up your own feast at home.

    Very clean and beautifully kitted out. Very central to High Street and beach. PS. Back door is sticky.. bottom part requires planing a bit..

  • Victoria

    Very central to everything. The only thing I would say needs to be advertised is the fact it’s a shared courtyard with next door. Unfortunately we could not use the courtyard during the 2 days as the back door was open to next door and our dog could not be let out. I think there must have been work happening next door and on our last full day there was a lot of noise which was unfortunate as we had come back for a rest.

    Having the beach right on our doorstep was lovely for morning/ evening walks as-well as the town. The bed was very comfortable and it was lovely to have the separate mezzanine space! We would definitely recommend!!
