About this house rental
Located in the magical seaside village of Thorpeness on the Suffolk Coast, this traditional holiday home is well positioned just a couple of minute’s walk from the beach, the popular Meare boating lake, the Tearooms selling ice creams and fun beach gear, and the well-known Dolphin Inn.
You’re welcomed into 6 Whinlands through French doors from the patio into a dining room which leads through the hall into a spacious family room where light streams in through the big bay window. The kitchen is
GROUND FLOOR
There are French doors at the back of the house to the patio and a front door onto the garden on Whinlands. Slate tiles run through most of the ground floor with a wooden floor, partially carpeted and with a big rug in the living room.
DINING ROOM
Glazed double doors open into this room where the dining table has six chairs, a bench so eight guests can sit for meals, and a Welsh dresser is stacked with crockery and glassware. A door takes you to the central hall.
HALL
Doors to the kitchen, living room, utility room which leads through to the cloakroom and shower room. Steep and relatively narrow carpeted stairs, with handrails on both sides, rise to the first floor landing.
LIVING ROOM
This big family room has three generous sofas, a footstool, coffee table and occasional tables. There’s a working fireplace with a guard but please bring your own logs, kindling etc. or buy locally. A door opens into a porch with a couple of coat/hat stands and space for footwear, and a second door takes you into the garden.
KITCHEN
This is not your usual modern kitchen but retains all the room charm of an old-fashioned kitchen as you can see from the photos, with the addition of modern appliances. The American style Liebherr fridge/freezer has three shelves and two veg drawers in the fridge and three wide drawers in the freezer beneath. The Smeg oven has a grill as well as the oven and a four-ring gas hob with extractor above. There’s a full sized Bosch dishwasher, a Magimix coffee machine with milk frother (please bring your own pods), a miCrowave, and the essential toaster and kettle.
