This thoughtfully planned timber hideaway offers a perfect holiday base for family or friends sharing. The single-storey property sleeps six guests and sits next to the thatched village church in South Cove, and just 1 mile to the golden sands at unspoiled Covehithe. Charming seaside Southwold known for its brightly coloured beach huts and landlocked lighthouse is within 3 miles. Snap up fresh-caught fish and local produce from independent shops in and around the bustling High Street and enjoy a stroll down the town’s wonderful Edwardian pier. Take the ferry across the River Blyth to the pretty village of Walberswick and discover another sandy beach plus the best spots for crabbing. Enjoy outdoor family fun with karts, zip wires and more at the Maize Maze (4 miles), while the rspb Minsmere Nature Reserve (11.5 miles) is home some of the UK’s rarest wildlife.

The interior of this south-facing holiday home combines a stylish contemporary decor with a relaxed country vibe. A vaulted ceiling with beams sits above the light and airy open-plan living area, with comfortable sofas around the cosy wood burner and a Smart TV. There’s a large dining table and a smart, pale grey kitchen, stocked with all the cooking utensils you might need. Patio doors opening onto a large patio flood the space with light, while bright cushions, rugs and books enhance the welcoming ambience. At the other end of the property are three delightful bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room. These comprise a king-size and two super-king-size, which can be made into twins. A family bathroom with a shower over the bath and a separate shower room complete the layout.

Outside, the half-acre garden encompasses a lawn, trees and wildflower meadow, along with two large patios. Both have outdoor dining furniture, while one is partially covered, with an outdoor kitchen, charcoal BBQ and a wood-fired hot tub, from where you can watch the stars.
