About this property
Set moments from the iconic Thorpeness Meare, Alexander House is a spacious detached farmhouse made for family escapes.

With the village pub a short walk away and Aldeburgh just along the coast, it’s perfectly placed for a relaxed Suffolk getaway.
The house is centred around large open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area, creating a sociable space for families to cook, dine and spend time together. The Aga sits at the heart of the well-equipped kitchen, while the dining area comfortably seats six for family breakfasts and evening meals. With two sitting rooms to choose from, including one with a cosy wood-burning stove, there is plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax after a day on the coast. A ground-floor twin bedroom and separate rainfall shower room offer added flexibility, particularly for multi-generational family stays. Upstairs, the spacious super-king bedroom has its own en-suite, while a further twin bedroom and family bathroom complete the accommodation.
Outside, the large enclosed garden gives children and four-legged family members plenty of space to enjoy, with garden furniture and a barbecue for summer meals together. Tucked peacefully away from the road yet moments from the heart of Thorpeness, Alexander House is perfectly placed for family days at the beach, adventures around the Meare and coastal walks towards nearby Aldeburgh.

Fantastic location, and a beautiful house. Lots of room for us and our small dog. Ideal having the boot room to wipe paws after a run on the beach , and the garden was large and fully enclosed. Everything was spotlessly clean and the kitchen was fully equipped with everything you could need. Situated at the end of a short track it was less than a 5 minute walk to either the pub, the mere or the beach. We had a brilliant comfortable stay, and will definitely be returning.

Alexander house was the most perfect home from home. Amazing location, quiet and spacious. The house is beautiful with the perfect layout for a family gathering. The kitchen is fitted out with everything you could possibly need. The bedrooms are lovely and very comfortable beds. The garden has family size bbq and adequate seating. Walking distance to beach, pub and Thorpeness kitchen which serves great breakfasts. Will definitely book another stay there.
