This fantastic property, situated in the centre of pretty Aldeburgh, is the perfect romantic retreat. Sleeping you both in a bright and airy double bedroom with a spacious open-plan living area, you’ll catch glimpses of the sea from this second-floor apartment. Wake up after a great night’s sleep, grab your morning coffee and head out to the main balcony, setting yourself up for the day with some fresh air and some sun.
The property, which sits above a shop on the high street, is filled with light thanks to large mullioned windows that run across the open-plan living area. Cook meals together in the stylish kitchen area and eat at the table looking across the rooftops towards the sea, or head out to the balcony to dine alfresco. After dinner, snuggle up on the sofa in the living area among calming neutral tones and soft lighting, enjoying a film on the TV before bed. The bedroom has a tranquil feel with carefully-selected furnishings and artwork; see if you can spot some stars on a clear night from the small balcony just off this room.
Take a stroll along Aldeburgh Beach (150 metres), stopping at a fish and chip shop or bakery on your way back. Nearby Thorpeness (2 miles) is also worth a visit; you’ll find mock-Tudor houses and an artificial lake that covers over 60,000 acres with islands and inlets. If you love browsing antiques, Snape Maltings (6 miles) has lots of unique shops and stalls to peruse. Don’t forget about popular Southwold (18 miles) too, where you’ll find more boutique shops along with cafes, restaurants and pubs to spend the afternoon in after walking along The Denes Beach. But if you’re looking for something more active, try stand-up paddleboarding or canoeing at Iken Canoe (7.5 miles).
