This chic cottage blends antique furnishings with modern comforts and is a peaceful retreat for couples, friends or families. With so much to do in this designated National Landscape, you can choose between strolls on the beach, wild swims, sea fishing or bird watching all on your doorstep, with Thorpeness, Aldeburgh and Sutton Hoo less than 15 miles away.

Blending period details with bold artworks and antique/modern style, this whitewashed cottage boasts an open-plan living space where your group can relax together, whether cooking, eating or snuggling in the comfortable sofas by the wood burner and Smart TV. A beamed ceiling, parquet floor and handsome furnishings make this room as stylish as it is comfortable, and when it comes to meal preparation, it is practical too, boasting both a dishwasher and a microwave. When you start to feel tired, two beautifully styled bedrooms offer the chance of tranquil rest, with a king-size room that opens directly onto the garden and a charming twin nearby. A sleek shower room completes the interior layout. Strolling through the French doors in the lounge will take you to a large, southwest-facing garden where there’s plenty of room to relax, dine outdoors or settle on the bench beneath the oak tree with a book. Parking for up to three cars is available on the drive.

The cottage is in the coastal village of Sizewell, which has a long, open beach. Just 2 miles away, explore the mock-Tudor architecture of tranquil Thorpeness, or head to Aldeburgh, 5 miles away, renowned as a seaside foodie haven. Within 15 miles, you can also discover RSPB Minsmere, ancient Sutton Hoo and the concert hall, shops and galleries of Snape Maltings.

Lovely location - a short walk to a quiet beach that suited us very well! Great for swimming and kite flying and some sand for digging. Strong undertow so stay close in or know what to do with one! Comfortable furniture, very clean, and wildlife in the garden (rabbits, muntjac) which the kids enjoyed. Nice quiet location, got quite hot insiRead morede when closed up during a heat wave, but cooled down quickly when windows were open. Hide
