Positioned at the bottom of Skillman’s Hill, this contemporary cottage is no more than a fifteen-minute stroll from the sand and shingle beach at Southwold Pier. Expect unfussy interiors, with open-concept communal spaces to make entertaining a breeze. But as evening rolls in, close the bifold doors in the living area to create two cosy sitting rooms. The heart of this home is most certainly the kitchen. Keep wine glasses topped up as your brood eagerly awaits dinner on the comfortable couches. The Falcon cooker is sure to impress the most discerning chef, while the toasty underfloor heating is a treat for chilly feet after paddling in the North Sea. For afternoon tea or hearty lunchtime fare, you’ll find cafes and pubs reached in just five minutes by foot.

About Southwold
Visiting Southwold as a child is an experience you’ll never forget, and you’re unlikely to as an adult either. The pier, with its traditional pavilion, might look like any other late-Victorian pier from the outside, but it’s a must-visit in this seaside town. What makes Southwold Pier different is its arcade of humorous, quirky, coin-operated machines. Created by the inventor Tim Hunkin, they feature a range of eccentric – and...
