Located in the picturesque Thorpeness, Suffolk, this charming self-catering holiday property offers a unique seaside retreat that accommodates up to six guests. Once a fisherman's dwelling, this single-storey wooden building is characterized by its light and airy atmosphere, enhanced by dramatic sea views that can be enjoyed from three sides. Nestled near the Suffolk Coast & Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the property is conveniently situated close to a pub and the coast, making it an ideal getaway for nature lovers and beach enthusiasts alike.
The open plan living, kitchen, and dining area is designed for comfort and socializing, featuring natural fibre carpets and ample seating provided by a large corner sofa and a day bed adorned with cushions. The space is anchored by a long refectory table, perfect for shared meals prepared in the simply furnished kitchen, which boasts a Smeg range cooker. This communal area serves as the heart of the home, inviting families and friends to gather and enjoy each other’s company amidst the stunning backdrop of the sea.
Accessed from the living area, the sleeping quarters consist of two cozy double bedrooms and a third room equipped with four built-in bunk beds, two of which are child-sized. The upper bunks are accessible via a step ladder, and the design of the third bedroom includes interior windows that offer views into the living space and beyond to the sea. While the bedrooms are compact, the generous communal areas and the property’s exceptional location more than compensate for the size, providing a comfortable and inviting atmosphere for guests.
Outdoor living is equally appealing, with patio doors leading from the living room to a spacious natural patio area that overlooks the sandy beach and sea. Guests can enjoy private steps that lead directly onto the beach, making it easy to take in the coastal scenery. The outdoor space is furnished with a large table and chairs, as well as deck chairs, providing a perfect spot to relax and unwind. With off-road parking for two vehicles, Valetta is a chic and relaxed property that, while perhaps not as polished as other accommodations, remains incredibly popular and well worth a visit for those seeking a memorable seaside escape.
