Property code: OC-HMIL

Standing within 0.5 miles of Southwold’s vibrant town centre and scenic common, this attractive two-storey house is perfect for dog-owning families all set for adventure in the South Coast and Heaths AONB. Switch off and enjoy fresh and cosy living areas, three beautifully-appointed bedrooms and access to a range of attractions in and around this coastal gem.

Set back from a road that leads into the town centre and then onto the coast, the cottage is surrounded by tree-lined streets where other characterful properties jostle for attention. Enter the property via the paved terrace and through patio doors before getting wrapped up in the L-shaped lounge/kitchen/diner, a homely living area ideal for family time. A separate sitting room provides a comfortable area where parents or youngsters can do their own thing. When it’s time for bed, take the stairs up to the first floor where three beautifully-appointed bedrooms – two double bedrooms overlooking the front garden and a cosy twin bedroom – enjoy the same ambience as the ground floor and are all served by a spacious family bathroom. Outside, the front lawn is enclosed by a charming fence while an inviting paved courtyard lies to the rear with plenty of room for investigative sniffs and doggy dozing.

The area in and around Southwold’s high street (300 metres) offers numerous dog-friendly amenities that you can explore after an hour spent roaming Southwold Common (0.5 miles). The views from Southwold Pier (0.5 miles) are unforgettable, just like its dog-friendly shops and eateries. The town’s sand and shingle beach is great for a walk, but for something farther afield, Henstead Exotic Gardens (7 miles) and Leiston Abbey (16 miles) offer wonderful days out.

The cottage is well laid out and comfortable and in an excellent location. Although there is on.y one bathroom the additional toilets ( one downstairs ) are a great help.

The property does not have parking and you cant park at the front only very quickly to unload - but it does have a front garden and an enclosed courtyard at the back. It is very well laid out with no less than three toilets. I think six or even four adults would be a squeeze unless you all know each other well! My dogs were very happy as its close Read moreto the common. I was happy to be close to the High Street! :-) Hide

Lovely home close to the high street. Very quiet and comfortable. We enjoyed a lovely visit. For those with accessibility issues - Stairs are steep and parking can be a little ways away but we found parking on the street easily. A lovely visit.

Milner cottage is in a good location and was cosy and well equipped. It was clean and had an outside light, which was useful to see the dogs in the dark. We were very happy with our choice this year.

Met all our needs. Location next to the Common was great for our dog walks and being a stones throw from the end if the High Street was great to access the shops. On- street parking was always available too.
