Set on the Suffolk coast, just a stone's throw from the beach, you'll find this charming former fisherman's cottage. Your hosts have recently renovated this home from home with your needs in mind, yet they've retained plenty of its undeniable period charm in the process. Inside, the living room is decorated in soothing green tones, with plenty of comfortable Chesterfield seating and a wood burner that makes for idyllic nights telling tall tales around the fire. Elsewhere, the dining room has seating for four and a convenient workspace for anyone who can't quite leave the office behind. Finally, there's a compact kitchen equipped with everything you might need to whip up family feasts, plus an inviting bathroom with a Victorian rolltop bath for some evening 'you' time. Upstairs, you'll find the three bedrooms, including a lovely main room with plenty of clothes storage so you can unpack and settle in. The second bedroom features a stunning custom-built shelving unit that houses everything from books to houseplants, while the third bunk room is perfect for the kids. The cottage is under a quarter of a mile from the beach and there's a highly rated fish and chip shop just a few doors down, so order yourself a catch of the day and eat in the dappled sunlight of the courtyard garden, or head down to the beach for an impromptu alfresco dinner overlooking the sea.
