Fresh and pretty, this appealing apartment in the heart of Southwold combines olde-worlde charm with modern comforts. Get your toes (and paws) sandy on the beach, a few minutes in one direction, or enjoy some retail therapy in the nearby shops. It’s an ideal destination for couples, families and friends.
Relax and recharge in this period house with its charming style, laid out all on one level. From the bay window in the lounge, you have views of Southwold’s iconic lighthouse and the sea, and on cooler evenings you can draw the curtains, light the fire and watch a movie on the Smart TV with your pups lounging by your feet. The kitchen is a delight – light and airy thanks to a pair of large skylights, with a breakfast bar and range cooker – and you can enjoy your meals at the farmhouse-style table in the dining area that’s open-plan to the lounge. The three bedrooms comprise a spacious king-size, a double and a nautical-themed bunk bedroom for two children, sharing a pretty bathroom and a shower room with a rainfall shower head. A tiny courtyard outside is a useful spot in which to enjoy an al fresco drink or meal at the bistro dining table.
You’re in the centre of the action here, with Southwold’s iconic lighthouse next door and the seafront and beach 150 metres away. Don’t miss the Electric Picture Palace with its rising Wurlitzer organ, or the Victorian pier that’s home to an array of eccentric slot machines. The main beach welcomes dogs out of season, and in high summer, Denes Beach is just the south of town for zoomies on the sand. For a fabulous day trip, take the rowing-boat ferry to old-fashioned Walberswick and enjoy its pretty views and welcoming pubs.
