Property code: OC-CHFC

This delightful house is close to both the beach and the high street in fashionable Aldeburgh. Blending charming period features with modern amenities, it has a big garden that’s perfect for children or a pet, making it a great getaway for families or groups of friends wanting to relax by the seaside.

This 17th century property has been renovated to a high standard to combine exposed beams and brickwork with high-quality modern furnishings. There’s plenty of space for everyone to chill out, perhaps in front of the flame-effect gas fire in the lounge - listening to music, playing games or enjoying a show on the Smart TV, or in the gorgeous conservatory, with its wicker-style furniture (a great place to enjoy a book). The large kitchen has everything you’ll need for putting together holiday meals, and there’s a separate dining room with a table and chairs for six. All three delightful bedrooms are on the first floor: two doubles (one with an en-suite shower room) and a single, plus a family bathroom with a shower over the bath. On a warm summer’s evening there’s nowhere nicer than the garden, which is fully enclosed and has a huge lawn.

Aldeburgh is set at the heart of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The river Alde, popular with sailors, winds downstream to Orford and upstream to Snape Maltings (6 miles by car), where converted Victorian buildings house shops, galleries and places to eat, as well as an internationally renowned concert hall. In Aldeburgh’s wide high street, Georgian buildings are home to a variety of independent shops, galleries and restaurants, and it’s also worth visiting the 16th century Moot Hall. For a fascinating day out, the 1920s village of Thorpeness is just 2 miles away.

Great location. House is definitely quirky, with uneven floors and low doorways and a very steep staircase, as well as a normal one. Its maybe better suited to summer stays rather than winter, as heating was not sufficient.

We enjoyed our stay and would certainly look this cottage again. It's in a great location a few minutes walk to the beach or town and links to footpaths. A nice size enclosed garden for dogs too.

Loved this very interesting and spacious cottage. Good location with excellent dog-proof garden. Lovely kitchen providing all equipment you might need. Aldeburgh very dog friendly with most eating places/pubs allowing dogs. Just be aware of uneven floor levels throughout the cottage, particularly upstairs.

Fabulous cottage full of character, well equipped, comfy beds. Low doors may be difficult if you are tall. Perfect garden for the dogs, very secure. We loved it. A great base to explore Suffolk with many nice walks close by.

I love this cottage but over the last eight years I have watched it deteriorate. So sad as its one of the perfect hidden gems in Aldeburgh.

Lovely, characterful cottage in an excellent location. The bag of welcome food gifts was a delightful surprise. The car parking caused an issue because it was very difficult to squeeze past the neighbour's car on the drive.

Cottage is very spacious and comfortable and, of course, in an excellent location. The bag of goodies - both for humans and dogs - was very well received. We already knew Aldeburgh of old, but would happily stay in Church Farm Cottage again.

We found this cottage warm, comfortable and quiet, with thought having been put into equipment, facilities and furnishings. Equipment/heating are simple to use - a bonus! It's in a great position in Aldeburgh, with lots of excellent walks/runs for people/dogs, as well as shops and eating places. Thank you for a great stay over New Year.
