About the Property:

Set in the heart of the delightful sea side town of Aldeburgh, 195 High Street has been completely refurbished. The sitting room has a coal effect gas fire, cosy and instant heat; a treat in cooler weather. There is a pleasant dining area with seating for 5-6 and a nicely equipped kitchen. There is a bathroom and single bedroom on the ground floor and two further bedrooms upstairs so it works well for families or friends.

Grounds

Despite being on the High Street the cottage is not amongst the shops but still within an easy walk - and it is a matter of seconds from here to the sea front. There is a delightful south west facing back garden with table and chairs etc, patio area and planting - ideal for evening barbecues. A footpath leads from Aldeburgh High Street to the gated back garden so no problem storing bikes, buckets, spades and fishing nets outside.

Aldeburgh, a favourite seaside escape for artists, musicians and families yearning for those special holiday breaks of yesteryear, is a pretty Victorian coastal resort. The inspiration for much of Benjamin Britten's music and centre for his creation - The Aldeburgh Festival - the little town still plays host to concerts, film, theatre and poetry festivals.

In the heart of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Aldeburgh is an ideal location for bird watchers, walkers and of course sailors. The cottage is just a couple of minutes walk from the estuary, marshes and shingle banks, which are home to a wide variety of wildlife and there are sailing and yacht clubs at nearby Slaughden as well as the famous Aldeburgh and Thorpeness heathland golf courses just a few minutes drive from Aldeburgh High Street.
