An alternative to the usual beach cottage, this veritable castle by the sea is a perfect getaway for anyone who just can’t cut down a guest list. Seven bedrooms mean there’s room for everyone you want to invite (and the garden and spacious living areas mean that you won’t regret bringing them). The group can spread out between the long, conservatory-like garden with its wall of windows, or hunker down in the sitting room with its beautiful bay window seat. A banquet-sized dining room can fit the whole group and it is a delight with nautical-themed object d’art. And the dine-in kitchen offers a more casual space for breakfast or a quick lunch. Provisions aren’t an issue either, with a dedicated pantry for plenty of storage. Head outside to enjoy the sun in the garden where the kids can run free on the vast lawn. Out here, picnic tables provide the alfresco dining option, perfect for a family feast of fish and chips from your local. Best of all, this home is right by the beach – step out of the garden room onto the lawn and you’ll taste the salt on the breeze, and a moment's walk will... have you on the sands of Aldeburgh’s beaches.

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...
