Mrs Abell
A lovely house with lots of room to spread out. A nice walk into Southwold with a lovely outlook to the front of the house. A really private, enclosed garden. The kitchen is incredibly well equipped with a great sized dining table to accommodate everyone.
Mr Bramley
An excellent, stylish and comfortable property for a larger family with a great seating area for family evenings together and a well-equipped a kitchen with a large table. Great for the dogs who could pop outside safely in the fenced garden. Very well-placed for walking to the beach the town and to Walberswicke so we hardly used the car.
