2 Bed Cottage in Aldeburgh

About this property

With its brick facade and stylish interior, this period terraced home 200 metres from the beach in Aldeburgh offers a stylish spot for a relaxing seaside break. This quintessentially British seaside town is located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it a perfect springboard for scenic walks through the wildlife-rich marshland of the River Alde estuary. With one double and one single bedroom, this sweet retreat is ideal for a couple with one child, or a small group of friends.

Traditional touches like mullioned windows and vintage-style furniture add appeal to this traditional cottage. You’ll enter into a bright and airy lounge that’s perfect for relaxing with some TV in the evenings. A door from here leads through to the homely dining room, furnished with a wooden table and chairs for leisurely meals. The modern kitchen is reached via an archway. A staircase from the dining area leads to the two bedrooms upstairs, as well as a bright family bathroom (accessed via single bedroom). The rear patio, complete with a bench, table and chairs, offers a tranquil spot for basking in the sun’s warmth and tucking into al fresco meals.

There’s plenty to do in the surrounding area, whether that’s wandering around the shops in Aldeburgh’s quaint high street or indulging in some local history at the Red House (1.5 miles). Water lovers can go sailing or yachting in nearby Slaughden (0.5 miles), while birdwatchers will love getting some good use out of those binoculars at RSPB Minsmere (9 miles). Keen to explore the area on foot? For a gentle stroll, set off along Aldeburgh’s shingle beach, then climb up onto the cliffs towards Thorpeness, 2.5 miles to the north. The ancient woodland at Captain’s Wood (10.5 miles) is a great spot for losing yourself in nature.
