High Oaks, Westleton, Suffolk, UK. Southwold 9 miles (14.5 km), aldeburgh 8.5 miles (14 km), dunwich 2 miles (4 km), orford 18 miles (29 km), woodbridge 20 miles (33 km)

Setting:

Set back from the lane in delightful gardens, on the edge of the lovely coastal village of Westleton overlooking the coastal heathland, a conservation area of major importance in the heart of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

House style:

A brick built modern detached house. Architecturally designed to make full use of the delightful views, large windows look out over the gardens. High Oaks is a spacious modern house with living space to share and quiet areas for reading and reflection. Recently having undergone redecoration at the start of 2015, High Oaks now has the addition of a superking bed, as well updates to the bedrooms, sitting room and garden room. 

Grounds:

The landscape gardens of well over half an acre contain a number of mature trees and many plant species. The garden has a pergola and a very attractive pond filled with water-lilies and water irises, and fringed by bamboo. There's a large lawn for relaxing and sunbathing.

Sleeps 5:

There is a ground floor bedroom and bathroom making High Oaks suitable for those with some mobility difficulties as well as family groups and friends. All the bedding is synthetic.

Ideal for:

Anyone enjoying walking, bird watching, cycling or simply exploring Suffolk's finest beaches. Surrounded by ancient heath land, with fantastic walks from the door, Westleton is just a couple of miles from the world famous rspb Minsmere and the lost city of Dunwich, and the beach. Westleton itself is typical of the best of Suffolk villages: A large village green, with duck pond, surrounded by mature trees, picture postcard cottages and a fine old coaching inn. The thatched church, built in 1340, is well worth a visit as is the fascinating second hand bookshop in a former chapel. Southwold, Aldeburgh and Snape (home of the Aldeburgh Festival) are about eight miles away.

Eating & Drinking:

Just a short walk from the house is The Crown and across the road, The White Horse - both lovely Adnams Pubs selling top quality pub food. Westleton also boasts an excellent restaurant and a rather nice tea shop. The village shop is 'tardis' like and certainly sells everything you could want for your holiday. Dunwich has another excellent pub - The Ship Inn - and a great fish and chip shop. Southwold, Halesworth, Yoxford and Aldeburgh all have lovely pubs and excellent restaurants. Fresh fish can be purchased from the fishermen's huts at Aldeburgh, Dunwich and Southwold. There are two supermarkets in nearby Saxmundham - Waitrose and Tesco - and a Co-op in Leiston.

Children:

Most welcome at High Oaks and they will love the garden - do be aware that there is a medium-sized pond (between this and the internal open-tread staircase with wide-spaced banisters, High Oaks is probably unsuitable for toddlers). There is also a large outdoor playground on the edge of the village and do take them to the Museum at Dunwich, it is a gem!
