  • Spacious holiday home ideal for families
  • Detached property with a conservatory and garage
  • Just metres from the beach and historic pier

Property code: OC-HGEM

This spacious holiday home by the coast offers families or groups of friends the ideal location to come together and create special memories that will last a lifetime. Less than 0.5 miles from the beach, up to seven guests can spend hours bathing on the sand, swimming in the glistening sea or visiting the various pubs, restaurants and cafes in Southwold.

Step inside and discover tranquil hues, cosy comforts and plenty of open living space to spend quality time with your friends or family. The first stop is lighting the warming wood burner after blustery days on the coast. Curl up here with your loved ones with a glass of bubbles before preparing delicious meals in the open-plan kitchen/diner. After dinner, stay at the table located in the adjoining conservatory, where groups can enjoy a good catch-up or competitive game. A ground-floor king-size bedroom offers a peaceful sanctuary when it’s time to turn in. A downstairs shower room with a double shower cubicle is handy for freshening up after beach trips. Outside, a washing machine and tumble dryer proves helpful in running through damp doggy towels. Upstairs, three more pretty bedrooms await, consisting of a double, a twin and a single, with an additional single pull-out bed if needed. The large enclosed garden with patio and decking is ideal for an alfresco breakfast or evening feast.

Take your buckets and spades to enjoy long days at the charming beach of Southwold, just 200 metres from the property. Boasting a lively atmosphere throughout the year, Southwold is a traditional seaside resort with a majestic Grade II-listed lighthouse, excellent eateries and beautiful waterside walks. Tee off on the green at Southwold Golf Club, less than 1 mile away, or take a family trip to Southwold Maize Maze for pedal go-karts, zip wires and giant sand pits (2 miles).

Premises well situated for walking the promenade and beach. Downstairs bedroom and bathroom useful. Some things did not work and instruction booklet poor. Furniture looks tired and could do with updating. Garden needs a good tidy up.

Sea Gem is a lovely house, large and spacious (it sleeps seven) , very well located, near to the seafront/beach and very convenient for the town. There is a nice sized garden, with plenty of seating, with both sunny and shady spots. The property is well equipped in general, but would benefit from a clothes horse (for indoor drying), a bread bin, a Read morewashing up bowl and a cooking apron. We felt that the provision of essentials could have been a little more generous; when we arrived there was one toilet roll in each bathroom, one black bin liner in the kitchen bin (no spares), two dishwasher tablets... Overall, we enjoyed our stay and had a great time. Hide
