Situated in a quiet residential spot in Leiston, this suburban home offers a tranquil base to explore the scenic Suffolk Coastline and local countryside. Enjoy peaceful afternoons in the garden or with your feet up in the sun-drenched south-facing living room where the double doors bring the outdoors in. Nestled at the end of the garden, you'll find a dreamy set-up in the summer house. Here you can escape the rest of the group and bury your head in a book selected from the home library. There's also a secluded desk area – perfect for those who need to crack on with some work during their stay. Or why not let the kids play in the summer house while the adults gather around the kitchen for a spot cooking and a glass of wine? The town centre of Leiston and its high street are just a ten-minute walk away – where you can explore the local independent shops, including a butcher's, greengrocer's and a fish and chip shop. There's also a traditional-style cinema, ideal for rainy days. But when the weather is kind, Thorpeness Beach awaits, only an eight-minute drive away. Meanwhile, the likes of Dunwich and Southwold are too reachable... in under twenty minutes.

About Suffolk
Seaside towns with pastel Victorian villas, a rambling coastline with clifftop walks, and undulating countryside studded with stately homes is what Suffolk is all about. In Southwold, a Victorian pier juts out into the sea and the smell of fresh fish and chips floats on the sea air.
