Property code: OC-GBL

Bring friends and family together in this spacious holiday home in the coastal town of Aldeburgh. Set less than 500 metres from the pebble beach, it’s the perfect base for traditional days at the seaside. You’ll also be within 500 metres of the town centre, with its vast array of independent shops and eateries. In the evenings, entertain outdoors in the large garden, followed by a game of darts in the garage or a sundowner in the garden room.

The detached period property sits on a pretty, tree-lined street. Once inside, you’ll find opulent interiors and original features, creating a memorable setting for your holiday. The vast kitchen/diner is a bright and airy space that’s perfect for entertaining. You’ll have all the equipment needed to cater for a large group - including a Range oven – and there are dining tables both here and in the formal dining room. After dinner, retire to the lounge to read a book by the open fire, gather in the garden room to watch TV, or head to the garage for a game of table tennis or darts. A utility room and shower room complete the ground floor. Upstairs, three of the bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a shower room are located on the first floor. Two staircases take you from here to the remaining four bedrooms; each staircase leads to a double and a twin bedroom. Outside, spread out in the large garden, where children can play on the lawn and you can fire up the BBQ and dine alfresco on the patio.

Aldeburgh is an attractive seaside town, with pastel-coloured houses, a long promenade, and picturesque sand and shingle beach. After a potter around the shops and galleries, head down to the beach to watch the fishing boats coming and going and perhaps pick up some fresh seafood for your supper. Heading south, you’ll soon reach Orford (11.5 miles). This idyllic village makes a lovely day out; wander amongst its pretty cottages, dine in a cosy pub, admire the ancient castle, or hop on the ferry to explore the wildlife havens of Orford Ness and Havergate Island.

We had a lovely stay. Good size for a big gathering. Very quiet area. It was a winter break and the weather was cold but I would imagine the outdoor space would be great in the summer.

Just a quick note to mention that we had a lovely stay at The Gables but there were a couple of things that were not ideal and I think need attention. 1. The building site next door starting loud banging before 8.30 on Monday morning and unbelievable piling and deafening concrete foundation creation at 7 on Tuesday morning. I cannot believe thisRead more is permitted by Suffolk County Council. To avoid complaints from all your summer guests I would suggest some steen words are issues to the next door builders. 2. The main oven door does not close properly. With the additional of illegible markings on the controls the oven was a challenge to use to cook anything requiring proper heat control. It needs attention, if not replacement. 3. With 14 occupants it would be appreciated if there were at least one spare loo roll per bathroom. It is disappointing in a quality property that the first job on arrival is to buy loo roll. It was not as if the supplied loo roll in each bathroom was even a full new ones. It would also be appreciated if there could be some super king beds in the larger bedrooms. They are more comfortable! I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards Lucy Evans Hide

A stunning house in a great location in Aldeburgh and just perfect for a weekend getaway for friends meeting up. The house is extremely comfortable and well equipped - plenty of rooms to spread out in. Would certainly recommend it for large groups of family and friends.

We especially loved the spaciousness of the house, which worked so well with our large party of adults and children of all ages. The Gables close proximity to the beach and the high street, as well as to fantastic coastal walks accessible from the next street were a big plus. Marvellous for dog walking!
