Cornerstone, Aldeburgh

This elegant townhouse is perfectly located for all that Aldeburgh has to offer, just 200m from the seafront with its shingle beach and fishing huts, and at the north end of the high street with all the independent shops, excellent eateries, galleries, and historic cinema close by. An equal number of bathrooms to bedrooms makes this holiday home ideal for a celebration weekend with friends or a seaside family holiday. The accommodation is spread over three floors with a super spacious, sociable and well-equipped kitchen/dining room downstairs; a cosy living room with wood burner and a double room with en-suite bathroom on the ground floor; and two bedrooms (one with zip and link beds), each with en-suite shower rooms at the top of the house. A sunny walled garden with a built-in brick BBQ is an added bonus and, whilst there’s no allocated parking, there is roadside parking and car parks nearby and you’re so close to everything so you can leave the car and enjoy exploring on foot. (Please note that the house is not pet-friendly.) GROUND FLOOR There are stone steps up to the front door which opens into the hall (hooks for coats and space for footwear) with stairs to the ground floor to your right; a steep straight staircase with handrail ahead of you to the first floor; the living room to your left and double bedroom with en-suite bathroom also to the right. All bedrooms and the living room are carpeted. LIVING ROOM Light streams into this comfortable room through the east-facing windows. Two generous sofas and a couple of chairs give plenty of seating for all guests and there are occasional tables, a wood burner to keep you cosy on chilly evenings and shelves stacked with books and DVDs for your entertainment on the large flat-screen TV.
