Crescent Road, Aldeburgh, IP15

A wonderful family house located in one of Aldeburgh’s most desired private roads. The Stables occupies a superb elevated position on Crescent Road and comprises a three-bedroom main house, and a one-bedroom studio annexe (with separate entrance), and further benefits from parking for two cars.
