5 Bedroom Cottage in Southwold

Located on one of Southwold’s premier residential streets, this superior five-bedroomed home features all the holiday must-haves – with flexible accommodation, it’s dog-friendly and has a fabulous games room and a large garden.

This detached property is impressive from the outset. Located on desirable Pier Avenue, it has driveway parking so you can unpack and forget about the cars until going-home time. Inside, there’s a contemporary coastal vibe and comfortable social spaces, starting in the large sitting room where there’s a choice of seating, home-style entertainment and bi-fold doors leading to the garden. There’s plenty of space to share mealtime chores in the contemporary kitchen/dining area, which features a range-style electric cooker with an eight-ring gas hob and a dining suite with elbow room for everyone; a separate utility room provides more home-from-home essentials. Those with energy to burn can escape to the games room where a table football challenge awaits. Leading from here is a calming double bedroom with French doors onto a private area of the garden. A traditional family bathroom completes the ground-floor layout, with additional facilities offered by a shower room on the first floor. Also on this upper floor is a king-sized master bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom, two double bedrooms and one twin-bedded room. You’ll all love being able to step out into the rear garden, where there’s plenty for the dog to sniff and space for children to play while the adults sit in the sunshine.

A 400-metre stroll will take you to Southwold’s historic pier, where there are family-style amusements, eateries and spectacular views of the sands and seafront. Wander along the prom and you can reach the town centre in minutes – if you don’t make too many refreshment stops! – or step out around a mile further and you’ll reach the busy harbour, a favourite spot for crabbing competitions and fresh fish shopping. Across the River Blyth, Walberswick is a quieter village with a number of celebrity residents and another lovely beach – the foot ferry will transport you there in minutes.
