The Hut, Walberswick

The USP for The Hut is it’s idyllic spot in the charming village of Walberswick with parking for one car and a rustic garden. Interiors are simple with fantastic uninterrupted views across the marshes to Southwold harbour - ideal for a nostalgic seaside holiday! There’s a wood burner for chilly nights in the open-plan living space which runs through to the basic kitchen, a double and bunk rooms in the hut. Across a path is the annex with double bedroom with picture window and a separate shower room. GROUND FLOOR The door opens into the open plan T-shaped hall in this detached single storey holiday hut, leading to the kitchen off to the right and the living area to the left. Doors open to the double room, bunk bedroom and bathroom, with wooden and tiled floors running throughout. There’s also double glazing throughout in addition to the wood burner (please bring your own logs etc. or purchase from the village shop) and electric radiators to keep you cosy. LIVING ROOM Soak up the stunning view over the marshes to Southwold through the picture window in this relaxed room with casual chairs, coffee table and wonderful wood burner. There’s no TV but games and jigsaws to entertain you. The kitchen is simply equipped for preparing basic meals with a baby Belling which you can use either with the oven and one ring, or with both rings but not the oven - ideal for pasta and a salad! There’s a microwave; a fridge with two shelves, a veg drawer and an ice compartment; a toaster and kettle, and a washing machine. There’s also a gate leg table and a couple of stools. BUNK ROOM Three open tread steps from the living space take you to this cosy bedroom with bunk beds and a chest of drawers. Please note that the beds are suitable for children, not adults. DOUBLE ROOM This cabin style bedroom is at the front of the house, furnished with just the double bed and a bedside stool with a lamp. BATHROOM Fitted with a bath and both hand and rain showers over it, a wash basin, WC and natural light. ANNEXE BEDROOM Wake to the birdlife on the marshes in this beautifully designed room lined in beech plywood, where the light floods in through the picture window and glass ceiling. The bed is a king (actually 155cm wide and 195cm long so slightly shorter than standard 200cm) and sits between stylish drawer units. A fan is provided for summer months as it can get rather hot with all the sunshine! EN-SUITE SHOWER ROOM The modern shower cubicle is adjacent to the bedroom (as opposed to interconnected) and has an electric hand shower and there’s a WC, wash basin and heated towel rail. OUTSIDE The hut is hidden in a peaceful spot overlooking the marshes, yet just a couple of minute’s walk to picturesque Walberswick with two fantastic pubs, shops and cafes; over the bridge, or by ferry to Southwold. A gate takes you to the path with the hut on the right, annexe separately on the left up a couple of steps, and the garden beyond with plenty of lawn for running around or simply relaxing and soaking up the idyllic location. You’ll find a couple of directors chairs in the hut and a table and benches for meals in the fresh air. Children and dogs do need to be supervised as there’s water in the channel over the fence in the field surrounding the garden and the ancient wall at the bottom of the garden is unsafe for climbing on. There’s parking for one car only in front of The Hut. There is a parking permit for a 2nd car to park in the beach or harbour car parks but please be sure to return the permit to avoid a £10 charge.
