Also downstairs is a neat little bedroom with a (4ft) single bed, opposite the downstairs toilet and walk-in shower. Climb the steep, cottage-style stairs up to the first floor to a king-size bedroom and bathroom,with underfloor heating. Soak up the sunshine out in the terraced cottage garden as often as the weather permits, keeping an eye on children and pets because of the different levels. You can also take your morning coffee out into the front garden to sit on the bench to watch the world go by. Parking is curbside on the lane directly outside.

There are many other delightful villages and towns nearby, or drive 9 miles for a day out in colourful Southwold. Here you can spend time on the sandy beach, browse in the shops, visit the theatre and Electric Picture Palace, dine out or enjoy fish and chips and a wander along its famous pier.

Westleton is a pretty village midway between Aldeburgh and Southwold, with the coast at Dunwich only two and a half miles away.

It is an ideal base for walking, bird watching, cycling and closely located to Minsmere, as well as the coastal heaths and forests. There are two good pubs, a second-hand book shop and a well-stocked village store/post office - all in the village centre.
