Sandy Lane Cottage, Reydon

A key selling point of this holiday home is its location - just a ten-minute walk from Southwold with its sandy beach, colourful beach huts, iconic pier and vibrant high street full of independent shops and eateries. So, with unrestricted roadside parking, you can leave your car and explore on foot. GROUND FLOOR You’re welcomed from Sandy Lane into a small lobby with a door opening into the spacious living/dining/kitchen where the stairs rise to the first floor and the bathroom sits through a door at the back of the cottage. A door from the kitchen to the garden makes it convenient for dining outside and saves sandy feet and beachwear from traipsing through the house. LIVING/KITCHEN/DINING ROOM A lovely light contemporary open-plan room which has been well designed for sociable holiday times with family and friends. The kitchen has a ceramic tiled floor which nicely divides it from the dining area. Freestanding appliances include an electric double oven with gas hob and extractor, a microwave, an under-counter fridge and separate freezer, washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, kettle and toaster. The dining area has a farmhouse-style table with four chairs and a bench, plus a Welsh dresser stacked with crockery for your use and a handy under-stairs cupboard. A comfy corner sofa is positioned in the living space so you can sit back and enjoy your chosen programme on the TV or a DVD from the selections provided. There are a couple of leather bucket chairs too and occasional tables too.

OUTSIDE The south/east-facing garden is partially paved with a gavelled area interspersed with small plants. There’s a table tennis table (bats and balls provided), plus two dining tables with eight chairs making this the ideal spot for breakfast. It is overlooking but fully fenced so safe for children and dogs, with a gate at one side leading to the front of the cottage so you could wheel bikes around to store at the back. The owners have left windbreaks, deck chairs and other useful beach gear for you to use. The walk to Southwold takes you along a lane close to the house directly to the pier end of the beach; alternatively, go to Might’s Bridge and take the footpath across meadows to the pier or to Bailey Bridge and the harbour.
