Sea Holly Cottage, Aldeburgh

The ideal holiday home for a relaxed seaside break – spacious, sea views, and wonderful shops and restaurants on the doorstep. The accommodation has a calming and charming coastal feel, spread over three floors with 2 double and 2 twin bedrooms, a bathroom, an en-suite shower room, 2 living rooms and a well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room. A gate from King Street takes you into the alley leading to the front door. The alley is covered so ideal for pushchairs, bikes etc. You’re welcomed into this mid-terraced three-storey property with a sitting room to the left, and kitchen/breakfast room to the right and an inner hall giving access to the main bedroom with en-suite, utility room and cloakroom. SITTING/MUSIC ROOM Whilst you’re likely to spend the majority of your time enjoying the sea view upstairs it’s great to have a 2nd living space for a bit of quiet time with a good book, or perhaps a tune or two on the piano. The fireplace in this room is purely ornamental. KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM Well-equipped for catering at home with units running against one wall housing two waist-height ovens and a microwave above, an electric hob, and a dishwasher. There’s a free-standing fridge with 3 shelves, 2 vegetable drawers in the fridge and 3 deep drawers in the freezer. The dining table is extendable and has six chairs. MAIN BEDROOM WITH EN-SUITE SHOWER ROOM Surprisingly peaceful for the heart of Aldeburgh, this bright bedroom has a king size bed between bedside drawers, a wardrobe, a chest of drawers, an ottoman and a chair. A door opens into a small inner courtyard. EN-SUITE The corner shower cubicle (with 6-inch step access) has a rain shower and there’s a WC, wash basin and natural light. UTILITY ROOM Fitted with a washing machine, sink and plenty of space for your groceries. CLOAKROOM Simply with a WC and wash basin. FIRST FLOOR Stairs (typically steep for a period cottage, with a hand rope to steady you) rise to the first-floor landing where you’ll find the living room and double bedroom to the right with a door to the 2nd staircase; and a corridor leading to the twin and bathroom at the back. The stairs, corridor, living room, double and loft bedrooms are carpeted. The twin has floorboards with rugs and the bathroom has linoleum flooring.

DOUBLE ROOM A cosy quiet room with a double bed, a chair and a couple of chests of drawers so you can unpack and settle in. TWIN BEDROOM Sitting towards the back of the cottage, this twin room is furnished with sturdy twin divan beds, a basket chair, a couple of bedside tables and a wardrobe for your clothes. BATHROOM\ The back of this holiday home is fitted with a large bath, a shower cubicle with a rain shower, a stool, a wash basin, a WC, a heated towel rail and plenty of natural light. LOFT BEDROOM This is a fun bedroom for agile children (probably aged five and above) with a steep staircase dividing at the top with three stairs to the right and left and a door at the bottom of the stairs. There’s a single divan bed on either side with a couple of chairs, a bookcase with books for all ages to choose from, and a wonderful porthole window which is sure to inspire the storyteller! There’s also a fire escape to be used strictly for emergency purposes only. OUTSIDE Sea Holly Cottage is at number 27 King Street, a fantastic location for everything with the high street behind it and Crag Path running along the coast to the front.
