The property is located at the end of a private no-through road, making it very peaceful and secluded, but it is also only a short distance from the beach, the Meare, and other Thorpeness attractions, as well as a stroll along the beach to Aldeburgh. A huge, open-plan living area with a well-equipped kitchen, dining area, and comfortable seating can be found below. There is a second sitting area with a lovely wood burning stove and a large television with Sky, allowing everyone to relax in their own space. The garden is enclosed and has garden furniture and a BBQ, making it a beautiful place to eat outside.
