I Do Like To Be: Suffolk

This spectacular home can be found on the beachfront of Kessingland. Wander through the garden and you’ll find yourself amid the sand dunes that lead to the pretty, sandy beach. Wake up to the gentle roar of the sea rushing to shore – you’ll feel relaxed in no time.

The home itself is a magnificent lodge-style house of wood and glass – huge windows ensure that the sea-facing views can be admired at every opportunity. There are countless cosy nooks and crannies for you to curl up in with a book, and children are well catered for with books and games. The living space is bright and inviting, with enough comfy seating that your whole party can lounge around together.

First thing in the morning, slip out of the balcony doors and watch the sun rise over the sea. It’s breath-takingly beautiful – you’ll feel a million miles away from normal life. After a cooked breakfast around the table, grab the dogs and head out for a walk along the beach to skim stones and – if you’re brave enough – paddle in the bracing sea.

Ten minutes by car will take you to Southwold, home to a charming pier and those picture-perfect brightly coloured beach huts. An ice cream is surely on the cards here, or maybe you fancy fish and chips? For a bit more adrenaline, Lowestoft is just a fifteen-minute drive away and offers speedboat racing and boat hire. Nature-lovers will appreciate Oulton Broad and Pakefield beach, where some of the UK’s rarest birds have been spotted. There’s so much opportunity to get out into the great outdoors from this wonderful home.

Make sure you catch the sunset from the garden, before heading off to spend an evening in the local pub. This is the kind of holiday home you never tire of – you’ll never want to leave.
