This former fisherman’s cottage on the Suffolk heritage coast is an absolute winner. Stuffed to the rafters with character, this charming home – extended so as to provide a spacious, open-plan kitchen-dining area – is all about the period features. Step in through the front door and you’ll find yourself immediately ensconced in the heart of this home, a cosy living room with original beamed ceilings, a fireplace and an oak wood floor. Also boasting a pretty paved garden, barbecue and alfresco dining area, you’ll be perfectly set up whatever the weather. At chillier times of the year, you’ll want nothing more than to pull a book off the shelf and curl up on the sofa with a hot toddy in front of the roaring fire, while warmer months will see you barbecuing for days while you soak up those precious rays. To top it off, your home’s location in the centre of Southwold, a traditional coastal town famous for its pier, pastel-coloured beach huts and fabulous seafood, means you’ll be ideally placed to explore all that this seaside town has to offer on foot. Not only are you within walking distance of this seaside town’s beautiful sandy beach and the iconic lighthouse, but you’ll also find yourself just minutes away from the high street with its independent shops, cafes and restaurants. You won’t regret heading down to the harbour, guaranteed to blow the cobwebs away, before calling into the Lord Nelson for a pint of Adnams beer.
