Sol Backen, Aldeburgh

This exceptional detached family home is located in an idyllic location away from the road and surrounded by an extensive private garden, yet just minutes from the picturesque seaside town of Aldeburgh and magical village of Thorpeness. Interiors are wonderfully spacious and combine all the character and charm of a period property with modern comforts and equipment to ensure that you have everything you need for a special weekend or extended family holiday.

Whatever time of the year you stay

GROUND FLOOR
You’re welcomed into a hallway with the living room to your right, dining room and office/reading room beyond to your left, and the kitchen ahead of you. The stairs rising to the first floor have a runner on them and handrails on both sides. Wooden flooring runs throughout the ground floor.

LIVING ROOM
Enjoy socialising in this spacious living room at any time of the year with doors to the patio and garden for the summer months and a fireplace to keep you cosy when the nights draw in. Two generous sofas, occasional chairs and tables give ample room for six guests to relax and watch a movie on the large TV (40 inch) with access to Netflix, Amazon etc. ,or choose from a good selection of books. Sitting in the corner is a fantastic Juke Box which, unfortunately, has gone into retirement but is sure to bring back some memories!

DINING ROOM
Whether you like to cater at home or pop into town for take-away fish and chips, this is a lovely room to enjoy a meal with a view of the front garden. It’s furnished with a long table and six retro chairs with an additional two for visitors.

OFFICE/READING ROOM
Ideal for some quiet time with book cases heaving with interesting books to choose from and an incredible collection of National Geographic magazines dating back to the 1960s. If guests need to do some work from home or studying they’re sure to find inspiration at the desk under the window and there’s a great choice of games and wooden jigsaw puzzles when it’s time for fun.

KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM
Old meets new in this characterful kitchen where a farmhouse style table sits in the corner surrounded by a bench and three chairs. Equipment includes a Rayburn with two ovens, a warming drawer and double hot plate; a dishwasher, a big American style fridge/freezer; a Nespresso machine (please bring your own pods); a KitchenAid; a microwave; and the essential kettle and four piece toaster. Windows overlooking the garden means that parents can keep an eye on the little guests playing.

UTILITY ROOM
Ideal when you come back from the beach as there’s a butlers sink to wash the sand off, a washing machine, a dryer and a drying rack and, conveniently, a back door so you don’t have to take the sand through the house. There’s also space to store buggies and extra groceries.

CLOAKROOM
Off the utility room with a WC and wash basin.

FIRST FLOOR
The stairs turn to the landing where doors open to the main, double and single bedrooms plus the family bathroom and separate WC. The en-suite bathroom is off the king and an additional single opens off the double room. Wooden floors run throughout the first floor with lots of rugs and tiles in the bathrooms.

MAIN BEDROOM WITH EN-SUITE BATHROOM
The king size bed takes pride of place between bedside tables in this big bedroom which has a wonderfully calming feel thanks to a soft colour palette and daylight entering through triple aspect windows. There’s ample space to unpack with a large wardrobe and handy basket drawers, as well as an attractive chair and a dressing table with a stool and mirror.
EN-SUITE
A free-standing claw foot bath with a shower over it adds a touch of luxury to this bathroom which also has a wash basin, WC, heated towel rail (towels are provided) and a window giving natural light.

DOUBLE ROOM
Wake to the tastefully coastal theme introduced into the décor here with wallpaper and accessories. The bed is a double with an upholstered headboard. There’s storage space in a large wardrobe bedside drawers and an additional cabinet of basket drawers.

SINGLE ROOM
Accessed down a step from the double room, this is a dream room for younger guests with the single bed tucked under the beams and a porthole style window. There are shelves for bedtime stories and some drawers for clothes.

SINGLE ROOM
Sitting quietly at the back of the holiday house this is a charming room furnished with a single bed with a bedside table, a chair, two drawer units and a wash basin.

FAMILY BATHROOM
Well positioned off the landing for guests in the double and both singles. This sunny room has a bath with a fixed shower head over it and there’s a wash basin and heated towel rail.

WC
Simply a separate WC next to the bathroom!

OUTSIDE
Few holiday houses are located in such an idyllic location sitting well back from the road and surrounded by an extensive private garden, yet just minutes from the picturesque seaside town of Aldeburgh and magical village of Thorpeness. The gravel drive sweeps past the front garden where impressive trees shield Sol Backen from the road, and arrives at the house where there’s parking for at least three cars. The south facing back garden is mostly laid to lawn with a gravelled path leading to benches and chairs catching the evening sun in the corner, with a fire pit to take the chill off and a Weber BBQ. A neat patio is accessed from the living room which also has outdoor furniture and a patio heater and there’s a fun raised Wendy House with table football in it, a drinks fridge, beach toys and surf boards, and a porch with a couple of chairs and cushions for the adults. The house is just over a mile by road from the heart of Aldeburgh where you’ll find lots of eateries, independent shops, galleries, fish huts etc. so it might be worth bringing bikes to cycle into town. There’s also a fabulous 15 minute walk through sown Warren Hill Lane crossing the old railway track and the marshes to a secluded part of the beach between Thorpeness and Aldeburgh; or a public footpath through the golf course to town. The Aldeburgh golf club also runs across the Leiston Road to the west with some lovely walks to explore.



Only one dog is allowed and please do not let it on the furniture or upstairs, and please clean any mess in the garden. Many thanks

Thanks for a lovely week at Aldeburgh- house is very spacious with lovely outdoor spaces too. This is a great, unspoiled part of England, Southwold and Aldeburgh are both real gems. Framlingham castle is also well worth a visit but if the weather is nice the coast is lovely. If you’re a real ale fan a visit to the Adnams brewery is essential! Thanks for having us, the Beardah family 🍺

Beautiful home with picturesque walks
Not your average holiday home! Sol Bracken is a beautiful home with lots of character. There is so much space, high quality furnishings, comfy beds and a well stocked kitchen. The Rayburn was a joy to cook on and the garden is just perfect. WiFi is decent (satisfied a teenager streaming requirements) and Netflix worked a treat for cosy evenings. We've had a fabulous week in Suffolk, with days out in the area and walks directly from the door. The route across a nature reserve to the beach is wonderful in the early evening, and means you can enjoy fish and chips on the beach! Thank you so much for letting us enjoy Sol Bracken.
