Seaside life is on your doorstep at this historic cottage, sitting pretty in Southwold with views of the 19th century lighthouse and just moments from the seafront. Don't be fooled by this former barber's shop cute-as-a-button exteriors. Step inside, and this home offers heaps of space for all ten of you (including your four-legged friend) to pile in. Carefully renovated by the same family who has owned the home for the last forty years, pristine interiors await with a restful palette of soft blue hues uniting the space and reminding us the sea is never far away. For all the cottage's old-fashioned charms – think roll-top bath for post-beach soaks and window seats feathered by cushions for cosy cuppas – this home is perfectly reimagined for modern living. Expect Netflix in all bedrooms, swanky kitchen appliances, blue tooth speakers and Alexa to make life a little easier, and Crittal-style doors leading out onto a suntrap courtyard garden. When it's time to soak up the seaside charms of Southwold, its historic, wander-worthy streets and idyllic pubs long lauded by artists and writers won't disappoint. Neither will its colourful beach hut seafront for lip-smacking fish and chips and lashings of ice creams. It's all a short hop, skip, and jump away.
