Beaver Cottage, Aldeburgh

Description

Beaver Cottage is attached to Cob House, one of the largest Aldeburgh houses set in eleven acres of land leading down to the river Alde.  You will have access to all this land.  There is a small beach down by the river from which you can fish and swim when the tide is right. Well behaved dogs are very welcome.

The cottage has glorious views over the river Alde with complete access down to the river front.  We have a couple of kayaks you can borrow (at your own risk) to explore the river and marshes.

Beaver Cottage is in a prime area on the heritage coast. From the garden you can walk along the river wall into Aldeburgh, past the beautiful mud flats where birds rootle in the mud. Or you can walk through the North Warren bird reserve to Thorpeness and back along the beach, or along the old Sailor’s Path by the river to Snape.

The shared eleven acre garden is full of wildlife including woodpeckers, a Barn owl called Strix, river and garden birds, muntjack deer, many rabbits and foxes and if you are lucky you might  see a seal in the river or possibly an otter.

Beaver Cottage is five miles from Snape which is the home of Snape Maltings. The Maltings has music throughout the year including the Proms in August and the Festival in June featuring many famous names.

If you are keen to learn to sail then Aldeburgh Yacht Club offers tuition on the River Alde or you can watch the many races on weekends throughout the  Summer.

Just a fifteen minute drive from the RSPB bird reserve Minsmere, and in the heart of the Suffolk Heritage Coast, Beaver Cottage is a wonderful place from which to experience it all whatever the weather.

The cottage is approached by a private lane leading from Saxmundham Road and has ample parking and it’s own front door. All the accommodation is on ground floor level. There are two steps up to the kitchen and bathroom with handrails. There is a spacious living room with views of the garden and river, comfortably furnished for easy seating and dining.
