Sea House, Walberswick

This elegant and sociable three-storey holiday home with a garden and parking in the heart of picturesque Walberswick is perfect for a memorable seaside holiday or weekend. Interiors are beautifully furnished throughout with an incredibly well-equipped kitchen/dining room, perfect for long lazy lunches; a comfortable first floor living room with sea views and a wood burner; four comfortable bedrooms on the ground, first and top floors (three double and a king size bed); an excellent ratio of bathrooms to the bedrooms, again with one on each floor; and both front and back gardens so you can move with the sun and enjoy a BBQ as it sets. GROUND FLOOR KITCHEN/DINING ROOM This sociable sunny room is designed for entertaining thanks to the owner’s occupation as a food writer, with plenty of cookbooks to inspire you! Bespoke units and a central island give plenty of food prep space with two electric waist-height ovens with retractable doors, a four-ring induction hob with an extractor above, a French-style Fisher & Paykel fridge/freezer, a dishwasher, a Sage coffee machine and grinder (there are also cafetieres if you prefer), a kettle, toaster and plenty of fun gadgets including a pasta maker, mixer for baking and a tortilla press. There’s also a microwave in the utility room. At the other end of the room is a dining table with eight chairs, a wood burner for chilly evenings, a door to the garden for summer months, and Sonos speakers to entertain you. UTILITY ROOM Accessed from the back garden, this room’s perfect for sandy feet and beach gear when you return from a swim as it has a butler’s sink, a washing machine and a dryer. You’ll find beach towels in the wardrobe in the ground floor bedroom too. There’s also plenty of space to store coats and footwear. CLOAKROOM Off the utility room, simply with a WC and wash basin. GROUND FLOOR BEDROOM Sitting quietly at the back of the house with a door to the garden, this room is furnished with a double bed, bedside drawers and ample storage in a wardrobe and chest of drawers. EN-SUITE BATHROOM A lovely light bathroom where the bath has a rain shower over it and there’s a wash basin, WC and heated towel rail (towels are provided for all guests). FIRST FLOOR Carpeted stairs rise to the first-floor landing which is split with a couple of steps to the back bedroom and bathroom, steps to the middle bedroom and elegant living room at the front, plus a second staircase to the top suite. Stairs are relatively steep (as you’d expect in a period property), with a handrail on one side. Bedrooms are carpeted, bathrooms tiled and the living room has a beautiful wooden floor. TOP FLOOR SUITE Perched at the top of Sea House is the main bedroom, en-suite shower room where the walk-in shower has both handheld and rain shower heads, and a separate cloakroom with a WC and wash basin down a couple of steps. BEDROOM The king size bed takes pride of place in this incredibly light bedroom with sash windows giving far-reaching views of the village and skylights with blackout blinds. A handsome wardrobe, chest of drawers and bedside units give plenty of room to unpack and there’s a chair in the corner. LIVING ROOM Enjoy the sea view in this wonderfully relaxing living room with its wood burner to take the chill off in the winter. Three deep sofas invite you to curl up with a good book from the shelves or watch the large TV. BACK BEDROOM Overlooking gardens, this peaceful room has a double bed with bedside shelves and ample space to unpack with a chest of drawers and a wardrobe. BATHROOM Well placed for guests in the back and middle bedrooms. Daylight floods this room which is fitted with a bath and hand shower, a shower cubicle with both rain and handheld shower heads, a wash basin, a WC and a heated towel rail. MIDDLE BEDROOM This light and airy bedroom with a feature fireplace and sash window overlooking the gardens has a double bed between bedside drawers and space to unpack and settle in with a wardrobe and chest of drawers. OUTSIDE Sea House is in one of the best locations in Suffolk with the popular Anchor pub opposite and the village green with playground, shops, beach and harbour around the corner. This charming holiday cottage is set back from the road with a lawned front garden where you can sit on the bench and watch the world go by. The bigger back garden sits across the gravel drive with a gate making it secure for children, and a table and chairs so you can enjoy al fresco dining. Parking for two cars is also at the back and there’s a path leading to the kitchen, back and bedroom doors.
