Description
This light and airy two-storey property makes a lovely coastal retreat for families and groups of friends, whether seeking a traditional seaside holiday or looking for a base to explore the stunning Suffolk coast.
Tucked away in a quiet spot near the centre of Thorpeness ‘9 The Coastguards’ is just a stone’s throw from all the attractions of Thorpeness, including the famous House in the Clouds, the windmill, the Meare, ‘The Dolphin’ pub, golf club, tennis courts and best of all, the beach!
The property features a cosy and inviting lounge, with plenty of comfortable seating, while the kitchen/diner is equipped for all your catering needs with a large dining table for family meals. There’s a bright and sunny conservatory with access to a large lawn and a patio where you can relax and enjoy the sun. There are four bedrooms to choose from, two of which provide double beds, whilst there’s also two twin rooms.
A sunny lawned garden wraps around the property, featuring a patio, BBQ and outdoor dining area, to make the most of the warmer weather.
There are wonderful walks from the door but it’s a great base too for exploring the Suffolk Heritage coast and East Anglia (near-by attractions include the Sutton Hoo ship burial, Minsmere bird reserve, Framlingham castle and Orford Ness & castle).
