Valetta, Thorpeness

Once a fisherman's dwelling, this unique single storey wooden beachside self-catering Suffolk holiday property is light and airy with dramatic sea views on three sides of the building.

Open Plan Living/Kitchen/Dining Room
The open plan living space with natural fibre carpet runs down two sides of the property and has ample seating on the large corner sofa and a large day bed - both finished with masses of cushions. A long refectory table provides a wonderful setting for meals with family and friends, which can be cooked on the Smeg range cooker in the simply furnished kitchen.

Bedrooms
A door leads from the living area to the bedrooms and bathrooms. There are two rooms with double beds and a third has four built-in bunk beds, two of which are child-sized. The upper bunks are reached via a step ladder. This third bedroom has interior rather than external windows which look out into the living room, with views beyond this to the sea. Although the bedrooms aren't particularly big, this is made up for by the generously-sized communal areas and superb location on the beach.

Bathroom
There's a bathroom with bath, washbasin and w.c.

Shower Room
This has an overhead shower, washbasin and w.c.

Outside
Patio doors lead from the living room area to a generously sized natural patio area which looks directly out to sea across the sand and shingle beach, with private steps leading onto the beach. The large outside table and chairs plus deck chairs make this an ideal vantage point to wile away the hours looking out to sea or reading magazines. There is off-road parking for two vehicles.

Valetta is a very relaxed and chic property, perhaps not as highly finished as some of our other properties but it is incredibly popular and well worth a visit.
