This light and airy, three-bedroom townhouse on the tip of Shotley Peninsula is a gem of a property. Boasting a private beach and boat slip, it’s perfect for an outdoor-loving family plus one hound seeking spacious balconies with sea views, boating adventures, and blissful relaxation.
After a day of seaside adventure, toss wet clothes in the utility room dryer and head upstairs to the open-plan living area. Bathed in light, this welcoming space invites you to relax. Floor-to-ceiling balcony doors frame stunning views of the River Stour, Harwich Harbour, and the North Sea. Sink into the plump sofas and watch the boats bobbing at their moorings or curl up with a film on the TV. When it’s time to eat, a galley kitchen overlooks the lounge, so your pup can keep you company while you whip up a delicious meal. Serve food at the sociable kitchen table or open the balcony doors and dine alfresco with the water as your backdrop. As the day fades, retreat to one of three bedrooms. Served by a well-appointed bathroom; two serene double bedrooms are on the first floor with one boasting a balcony overlooking the estuary. The second floor offers a lovely king-size bedroom with a balcony overlooking the River Stour and an en-suite shower room. Outside, savour breakfast on one of the four sea-facing balconies then head down to the shingle garden and private beach for sunbathing and dipping toes and paws in the cool water.
Explore the flat landscape on foot or by bike and discover the rich birdlife in the mudflats. For a day out, hop on the foot ferry to the seaside town of Felixstowe. Stroll along the promenade, let loose at the amusement arcade, and then refuel at one of the many dog-friendly restaurants.
