Colby Cottage

This cheerful terraced home is fantastic for a peaceful holiday by the sea with family or your loved one. It’s in an enviable spot just 300 metres from Pakefield’s peaceful, unspoiled beach – a mix of sand and shingle that’s perfect for lazy sunbathing, refreshing swims or morning strolls without the crowds. Only 2 miles from the centre of Lowestoft, Pakefield has a warm, welcoming feel to it. The Suffolk Coast Path is practically on your doorstep (150 metres), inviting walkers and to soak up coastal views all the way to Kessingland (3 miles) or, if you’ve got the legs for it, Southwold (11 miles). There’s a great selection of traditional pubs and seaside cafés within 0.5 miles, along with classic fish and chips for that true British beachside experience. You’ll have fun day trip options within easy reach, such as Aldeburgh (25 miles), where beach huts and antique shops await.

On arrival at this brick property, pass through the small front garden and step into the heart of the home, a cosy dining room with an open fireplace and space for four to gather. Beyond is a snug lounge with plush seating and a Smart TV, ideal for winding down after a day at the beach. The well-equipped galley kitchen, with sleek blue units, sits just beyond. This flows into a sweet little sun room with elegant herringbone flooring and extra seating for relaxed morning coffees. Upstairs, the double bedroom sits on one side of the landing and the twin on the other. The en-suite shower room is accessed via the double room, so the layout is suited best to couples or families of four.

Outside, doors lead from the sun room to a private patio garden with furniture – wonderful for al-fresco meals on warm evenings. Free on-street parking is available, subject to availability.
