About this property
Set moments from the iconic Thorpeness Meare, Alexander House is a spacious detached farmhouse made for generations of the family to come together. Sleeping thirteen across six bedrooms, including a ground-floor bedroom, open-plan living spaces invite long dinners, slow mornings and evenings games, while the large enclosed garden is perfect for four-legged companions. Wander to the beach, stroll to the village pub or follow the coast towards Aldeburgh, before returning to your own peaceful corner of Thorpeness.
At the centre of Alexander House is the open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area, designed to bring the whole family together. The Aga and large central island create a sociable kitchen space, while the extendable dining table is perfect for long breakfasts and family dinners. A spacious sitting area offers plenty of room to relax, while a separate sitting room with a wood-burning stove provides a cosy retreat when you want a little more space to spread out. The ground floor is particularly well suited to multi-generational stays, with a twin bedroom and separate rainfall shower room, alongside a study offering a quiet space when needed. Upstairs, five further bedrooms provide flexible accommodation, including a super-king master with en-suite, a king-size, double, twin and triple bedroom. An additional en-suite shower room and family bathroom complete the first floor.
Outside, the large enclosed garden gives children and four-legged companions plenty of space to enjoy, with a patio, outdoor furniture and barbecue for relaxed summer gatherings. Tucked away from the road yet just a short stroll from Thorpeness Meare, the beach and village pub, Alexander House is perfectly placed for the whole family to enjoy time together on the Suffolk coast.
