This gorgeous two-bedroom apartment has breath taking sea and beach views form the wonderful living/dining room with a private balcony stretching along the façade, and a wood burning stove for cosy winter stays. Both bedrooms sit quietly at the back, together with an en-suite shower room, a family bathroom, and a kitchen so you can cater at home.
The front door of this iconic Grade II listed mid-terraced house takes you into a communal hall with a staircase to the private apartment door on the first floor. There’s a feeling of decadence throughout the property with rich colours, luxurious fabrics, and an eclectic mix of artwork. The landing runs to the living/dining room to the right and the bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen to the left.

Designed for relaxation, the room’s furnished with a deep sofa, chairs, and coffee tables, a SKY TV in the corner, and the modern wood-burning stove. If you choose to dine at home there’s a circular table and four chairs – and plenty of take-aways to choose from close by if you’d rather not cook!

OUTSIDE
Located in arguably the best location in town, Market Cross Place borders the promenade with some unrestricted parking available in front of the terrace. You’ll literally be staying steps from the beach for your morning swim, to play a game of boules, or to pick up some fresh fish from one of the seaside huts. The heart of town with its wonderful eateries, independent shops, cinema, galleries, etc. is just round the corner.
There is no provision for electric vehicles, so we recommend you stop at Friday Street at Snape on your way to Aldeburgh to recharge.

About the area
Aldeburgh, located on the unspoiled East Suffolk coast of England, is a charming seaside town that offers a tranquil escape with its pebble beaches, rich cultural heritage, and picturesque landscapes. Known for its connection to composer Benjamin Britten, Aldeburgh is a haven for music lovers, hosting the annual Aldeburgh Festival, which celebrates classical music with performances in various venues, including the famous Snape Maltings Concert Hall.
The town's main street is lined with independent shops, galleries, and eateries, offering visitors a taste of local life and the opportunity to find unique souvenirs. Aldeburgh's culinary scene is particularly renowned for its fresh seafood, with the Aldeburgh Fish and Chip Shop claiming to be one of the best in the UK.
For those interested in history, the Moot Hall Museum, housed in a remarkable timber-framed building, provides insights into Aldeburgh's past as a Tudor port and its evolution over the centuries. The nearby Aldeburgh Martello Tower, one of several defensive forts built along the British coast during the Napoleonic Wars, is another historical landmark worth visiting.
Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the close proximity to the RSPB Minsmere, a nature reserve with diverse habitats that attract a wide variety of bird species, making it a prime spot for birdwatching. The Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty also offers stunning landscapes for walking, cycling, and photography.
Aldeburgh's beach is a focal point for relaxation and contemplation, with the iconic Scallop sculpture by Maggi Hambling standing as a tribute to Benjamin Britten and a symbol of the town's artistic spirit. The beachfront promenade is perfect for leisurely strolls, with the soothing sounds of the waves and the refreshing sea breeze.
For a touch of drama, the Aldeburgh Cinema, which has been screening films since 1919, provides an intimate setting to enjoy both mainstream and independent movies. The town also hosts a number of other cultural events throughout the year, including literary festivals and art exhibitions.
In essence, Aldeburgh is a destination that offers a peaceful coastal retreat with a rich cultural tapestry, set against a backdrop of natural beauty and historical intrigue.
