To the front of the property is a large, mainly lawned garden with mature shrub borders and enclosed by fencing. The property also benefits from two parking spaces to the front.
All a short walk from the beach, the Meare and The Dolphin public house.

Location
Thorpeness is arguably one of the most sought-after locations on the Suffolk Heritage coast. The original fisherman’s village was transformed about 100 years ago when Glencairn Ogilvie decided to develop the village as a holiday retreat for well-to-do Edwardians. Inspired by J M Barrie’s Peter Pan, the design by Forbes Glennie includes the ever-popular country club with tennis courts and the Meare, a shallow boating lake. Thorpeness, known probably throughout the world for its “House in the Clouds”, also has its own golf course, tea room, restaurant, village store and a public house.
