Just a mile north of Aldeburgh is this fascinating seaside village, built in the 1920s by Glencairn Stuart Ogilvie, an architect, barrister and playwright. The mock Tudor style of building is now the hallmark of Thorpeness, where the amenities include the Dolphin Inn, the Thorpeness Hotel with its 18-hole golf club, a country club with tennis courts and the Mere - a large shallow boating lake with tearooms nearby. The beaches are mainly sandy and behind the village are a myriad of footpaths over heath and common land.

Church House is a traditional brick-built detached cottage with a light and airy feel to all rooms. Situated next to Thorpeness Church, it is just a three minute stroll from the beach, from the common with its range of footpaths and from the village pub, shop, Mere and duckpond.  Adjacent are the country-club and tennis courts with the 18-hole golf course also nearby.  Shop : 200 yds Pub : 200 yds
