This red-brick home is in one of the best locations in Aldeburgh, set on the shingle beach. So you can pop to the seaside, take a dip in the water and nip back for forgotten towels or sunscreen in a jiffy. Aldeburgh town is to the back of the home and it's a short stroll to ice cream parlours, delis, and restaurants. We love exploring the area by whatever means: from hiring a boat to meander the broads to hiking through the numerous nature reserves on the lookout for birdlife. Built in 1854, the house has large bay windows on its top floor lounge, with an alcove seat to watch the North Sea waves crashing onto the beach. There are a couple of nice furniture touches – the Chinese dresser and old-fashioned rocking chair, for example. And the pine-clad kitchen has everything you need for self-catering. Bedrooms are spacious and those Georgian windows mean a natural alarm clock of sunlight streaming in.

Local guide
About Aldeburgh
When the sun sets on Aldeburgh, the pastel-coloured houses that line the shore seem to glow and the pebbled beach takes on a rainbow hue. Here, the buildings come right up to the beach, so you just need to hop over the coastal wall to reach the sea. The seaside town was once home to Benjamin Britten, and it still retains its creative pull, with the Aldeburgh Festival of Music...
