This home in Southwold blends wide bay windows, stellar views and period architecture with modern features. The combined kitchen and dining room makes for a sociable experience – gather around the table with some craft brews while preparing a meal. Take dinner out into the light-festooned walled courtyard, which also makes a great daytime escape if you need a moment of solitude. Just up the road is the famous Southwold lighthouse and beach, along with boutiques, lunch spots and coastal walking trails. Grab your bucket and spade – or your hiking boots – and enjoy the adventure.
