Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Aldeburgh is all about the English seaside experience – Blue Flag beaches, fish and chip shops, and seafood restaurants are all waiting to make your holiday truly special. So it only seems right that your home should overlook the sea, and is just a three-minute walk from Aldeburgh Beach. With this coastal abode, we need to start right from the top – the roof terrace. Sweeping views of the Suffolk coasts, blue waters, and traditional fishing boats are the sort of scenes you can enjoy while sipping a gin and tonic upon arrival. But when the inevitable British rain clouds come rolling in, you can head indoors to check out the decor. Modern and sophisticated, the bright living space offers a calming colour palette of creams and greys. We love the range of ink and screen-printed artwork adorning the walls, bringing a little intrigue to otherwise understated settings. Whether you want to lie back on the plush beds, have a soak in the bath, or catch up with your inbox, this elegant home has it covered. But we’re sure you’ll be spending most of your time watching sunsets up on the ‘top deck’.

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...
