About this property
Alexander House is a large, elegant, detached house, tucked away on a quiet private track in the quintessential holiday village of Thorpeness which was inspired by J M Barrie’s Peter Pan. This idyllic house is just a short stroll down to the beautiful beach, and the Meare, both perfect for creating lifelong memories with the children! A fabulous choice for friends and family get-togethers.
This lovely farmhouse provides a wonderful base for exploring the stunning coastline of Suffolk. The open-plan ground floor provides a modern, light space to relax, wine, dine and entertain. The large kitchen is well equipped with a conventional aga range cooker, large American style fridge freezer and dishwasher. French doors open directly to the surrounding garden with outdoor table and chairs. There’s plenty of sofas for everyone to kick back in, and a widescreen Sky TV for all to enjoy. The second sitting room has the added benefit of a wood burning stove, and a further television. There’s a ground floor twin bedroom and shower room, perfect for those who struggle with stairs.
To the first floor, there are five bedrooms; one twin, one triple, two super-kings and a double room. There are two en-suites and one family bathroom (with bath and shower), plus some of the bedrooms have wash basins. All are large rooms with beautiful views.
Outside there is a large enclosed garden, great for dogs, which backs onto the practice range for Thorpeness Golf Club. There is parking for up to five cars.
The pretty Victorian seaside town of Aldeburgh is only a short drive away or if you feel like some exercise it is a lovely walk along the beach, past Maggi Hambling's famous scallop sculpture.

The house is well located, internally spacious, and attractively decorated and furnished. It is extensively equipped and to a very high standard. We thoroughly enjoyed it in the winter, and the open plan design with easy access to the garden would make it an ideal summer residence. The stairs are a bit of a challenge.
