This romantic residence delivers bijou, boutique-style surroundings where a couple and their four-pawed plus-one can create special memories together. Close to the heart of town, it comes complete with a wealth of original features and a shared courtyard garden.
Surprisingly spacious, bright and cosy, this chic cottage – part of a once larger property – is on a quiet residential lane close to Southwold’s bustling town centre. Step through the courtyard and French patio doors into a wood-panelled kitchen/diner where there’s everything you’ll need to prepare and enjoy a dinner for two, and even space for a couple of guests to join you. The hallway leads to a spacious living room with pretty pastel tones, exposed wooden beams and a gorgeous feature fireplace – you’ll look forward to night-time snuggles on the sofa! A cloakroom adds to the home-from-home comfort of the ground floor, and when bedtime approaches, a dreamy king-sized bedroom is upstairs, alongside a stylish panelled bathroom. Your courtyard garden, shared with the adjoining property, is only moments from the high street yet retains a sense of privacy and, with outdoor table and chairs, is perfect for quiet time in the fresh sea air.
A fine range of boutiques, galleries, bars and bakeries – many of them dog friendly – are within 100m of your doorstep. Shop, eat and enjoy a locally produced drink or delicacy as you stroll through the town centre, or follow the seafront promenade to the iconic pier. In the opposite direction is Southwold’s historic harbour and Blackshore – walk across the bridge or take the famous foot ferry to Walberswick on the far bank of the River Blyth for more beach wanders and a wonderful choice of watering holes. It’s an 8-mile drive to Dunwich, further along the coast, which is known as ‘Suffolk’s Atlantis’ after 13th-century storms swept away most of its buildings. Fido will love sniffing around the beach and heathland here, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
