About this property
The Nutshell is a characterful semi-detached holiday home tucked away in the heart of Aldeburgh, one of Suffolk’s most loved seaside towns. Ideal for families and groups, this pet-friendly bolt hole offers a relaxed base just moments from the coast, blending traditional charm with all the essentials for an easy, comfortable stay. Inside, the house has a warm, lived-in feel that suits slow mornings and unhurried evenings. The kitchen is well set up for self-catering, whether you’re preparing a hearty breakfast before a beach walk or a simple supper using fresh local produce. Meals are best enjoyed in the dining room, a welcoming space for lingering conversations and planning the next day’s adventures.
When it’s time to wind down, the sitting room invites you to put your feet up beside the woodburning stove, a lovely spot to relax after a day out exploring the coast. Upstairs and down, the bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged to suit different party make-ups. The ground-floor king-size bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, offering extra privacy and convenience, while the double room on the first floor is ideal for children or friends. Also on the first floor there is a study area with a desk. On the second floor there is a super-king-size bed. A family bathroom completes the layout, making the house practical as well as comfortable.
Outside, the enclosed patio provides a quiet place to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine, with the added bonus of being secure for four-legged guests. Step beyond the front door and you’ll find Aldeburgh’s independent shops, galleries and well-regarded eateries all within walking distance, along with the famous shingle beach and scenic coastal paths. Both the village pub and the fish and chip shop are just a short stroll from the property. The surrounding area is a joy to explore. Thorpeness is easily reached for waterside walks around the Meare, while Saxmundham offers a traditional market-town feel and good rail links for car-free days out.
Nature lovers will enjoy the nearby RSPB reserves, where birdwatching is particularly rewarding throughout the year. The Nutshell is a relaxed coastal retreat, perfectly placed for enjoying the simple pleasures of Suffolk’s shoreline.
The popular, vibrant seaside town of Aldeburgh is famous for its culture, traditional feel and one of the best fish and chip shops in the country! Aldeburgh and Snape Maltings are home to one of the world’s greatest music festivals and has been named as one of the top 50 places to live in Britain. Crag Path runs along the seafront dividing the beautiful pebbly beach from the unspoilt pastel-coloured seafront properties and the town. The beach is a popular place for groups and couples to enjoy the wonderful fish and chips throughout the summer months. The town is steeped in history and has become a wonderful town for shopping with a good mixture of independent and chain stores to enjoy. The town also offers a good selection of pubs and restaurants or why not buy some freshly caught fish from the huts on the seafront and cook up your own feast at home. For those wishing for a more action-packed holiday there is excellent walking, cycling, sailing and golf at Aldeburgh. Growing in popularity you will want to return to Aldeburgh again and again!
