Perfect for a grown-up getaway, this ground-floor apartment is in a quiet spot close to Southwold’s lively high street. A twin bedroom offers versatility for couples or companions and – unusual for such a centrally located property – it has the bonus of a private parking space.
Pretty planter seating by the front door announces your arrival – step inside and you’ll find an elegant sitting room with wood flooring and well-chosen furnishings, including two sofas each with a footstool for ultimate relaxation as you stretch out to watch TV or chat about your day. A contemporary and light kitchen/diner has soft-close units and all the self-catering essentials, including a dishwasher to make light work of the after-dinner clear up; a sliding door from this area leads to a small utility area with a washing machine and hooks for coats. When it’s time to retire, a door from the sitting room leads to a traditionally styled twin bedroom with a wonderful feature window and a modern en-suite shower room. Underfloor heating throughout ensures comfort whatever time of year you visit.
Stay at this centrally located apartment and all of Southwold’s hot spots are within easy reach. The high street’s trendy boutiques, bars and galleries are within 100 metres of your doorstep, alongside appetite-teasing delicatessens and diners that will completely take the effort out of any self-catering holiday here. Around 200 metres away, the long sandy beach and promenade lead to a pier with traditional – and some unexpected – amusements alongside eateries and a beautiful view of the town’s iconic seafront. Stroll along the sands in the other direction and you’ll reach the Blackshore, Southwold’s working harbour where you can see leisure yachts and fishing boats come and go. You can take a ride on the historic foot ferry across the River Blyth to the village of Walberswick for further exploration. Southwold Common and the surrounding countryside offer lots of choice for walkers … and when you make it back to town, local brewer Adnams offers a wide choice of thirst quenchers, including some great alcohol-free options.
