Description
One of the most stunning houses on the Meare (a shallow water boating lake) with a private jetty and a large garden. This spectacular South facing house was built in the early 19th century and located on the banks of the Meare in the beautiful village of Thorpeness. Ideal for larger groups or family holidays, Heronsmead offers four bedrooms and most of which have views over the garden and the Meare.
The interior of the house is modern with fully equipped kitchen – ideal for cooking a family meal. A spacious sitting area and separate dining area/sunroom provide an easy and convivial space for entertaining, dining and relaxing. Cosy in the winter but bright in the summer when the garden comes into life. Externally, the house offers a mature garden with large patio area, a summer house with seating, private jetty, barbeque, and patio table and chairs for al fresco dining.
This traditional house is just a stone’s throw from all the attractions of Thorpeness. These include the famous House in the Clouds, the windmill, the Meare (a lake with rowing boats and kayaks you can hire to explore its many islands and even a pirate’s fort!), The Dolphin pub, golf club, tennis courts and, best of all, the beach! Neighbouring Aldeburgh offers a greater selection of facilities including independent shops, galleries, award winning restaurants, golf and sailing clubs, and a cinema. Nearby Snape Maltings is home to an internationally renowned concert hall, with various concerts throughout the year.
