Description

Step inside this gorgeously refurbished holiday cottage and escape the world outside at any time of the year. The open plan ground floor is bright with windows to the front and rear and wooden floor with rugs for comfort and practicality.

Living/Dining/Kitchen The front door leads from King Street into the living room of this chic cottage. Relax on the brightly coloured three-seater sofa which takes pride of place with a huge flat screen smart TV for your entertainment. The room is decorated with soothing tones and the sash window at the front lets the light flood in if you want it to. Carefully considered lighting brings calm to the living space and there’s a well-selected choice of games if you’re staying in.

Enjoy meals at home at the solid round table with two chairs, placed to the left, beside the entrance to the kitchen.

For the chef is a wonderfully equipped kitchen with all the appliances needed for culinary creations. You have an integrated fan oven with grill and five ring gas hob with extractor over, a slimline dishwasher, under counter fridge with ice box and an inverter flatbed microwave in the cupboard under the stairs, on a nifty pull out shelf. Enjoy your coffee in the mornings with the Nespresso machine and there’s even a slow cooker if you’d like to get the supper on and go out for the day.

Painted white wooden stairs rise from the kitchen to the small landing.

First Floor On the first floor in this delightful cottage is a double bedroom and a good-sized bathroom.

Double Bedroom Enjoy a peaceful nights sleep in the comfortable double bed between the bespoke handmade bedside tables. With drawers under the bed and hanging facilities on the wall you have plenty of storage space for your belongings. There’s a wide flat screen TV on the wall with built in DVD and freeview for lazy mornings before an enjoyable day out by the sea.

Bathroom A super-sized room with a jacuzzi bath and rain shower over, a wide hand basin with waterfall tap, a WC and a heated towel rail. For natural light you have a frosted window and there’s a cupboard for storage of bags and cases if needed.

Outside At the back of the cottage is a small space accessed through a door from the kitchen. With a table for two, perhaps a perfect spot for morning coffee or an alfresco glass of wine in the evening.

Unallocated and unrestricted parking can be found further along King Street with further parking options in very local car parks and other side streets in close proximity to the cottage.

Tern Cottage 'does the job': it's small, it has what you need and it makes for a pleasant stay in Aldeburgh.

For someone of my age (68), the stairs need to be treated carefully; however, they are fine if you keep your wits about you. It was amusing that in a two-person cottage there were two mugs in the cupboard (there are now three), but I suppose it keeps you disciplined with the washing-up. The best feature of the cottage is its position, set between the sea and the High Street: you are truly spoilt. We enjoyed our stay there; it's worth taking on for a week.

A great base for a short break - super close to both the seafront and the high street, so great for wandering about and sampling all the pleasures Aldeburgh has to offer.

The property is well-decorated and comfortable, although the stairs are very steep, so not great for anyone with knee issues!

Delightful.

1minute from the sea, and one minute from the high street, the ideal base to explore this part of Suffolk. Aldeburgh is a little gem in the coastline. Tern Cottage is clean, smart and modernised. Ideal base for two people.
