This elegant, recently built home is set in the heart of Thorpeness, just a two-minute walk from the beach. Typical black wood clads the exterior while inside, neutral shades, light wood and touches of soft blue echo the tranquil coastal location and make it easy to instantly feel relaxed and at home. A wood-burning stove wood-clad walls and pine furniture creates a modern farmhouse feel, just what we want from a countryside retreat. Bi-fold doors lead from the large dining room and kitchen to the enclosed garden. This spot is lovely for summertime drinks under the sun, courtesy of the wrought-iron dining set on the patio. At the bottom of the garden you’ll find a shaded spot with chairs beneath a wooden pergola, surrounded by greenery. The village itself is famous for its 1920s mock Tudor houses and 'Meare' - a manmade lake with boats of every colour, perfect for exploring its Peter Pan-inspired islands. The beach is a mix of shingle and sand and you can walk along it to the pretty town of Aldeburgh where you’ll find some of the best fish and chips in the world.

About Aldeburgh

When the sun sets on Aldeburgh, the pastel-coloured houses that line the shore seem to glow and the pebbled beach takes on a rainbow hue. Here, the buildings come right up to the beach, so you just need to hop over the coastal wall to reach the sea. The seaside town was once home to Benjamin Britten, and it still retains its creative pull, with the Aldeburgh Festival of Music...
