1 baths Bovis Cottage is set back from the road with a large front garden laid to lawn, a great spot to soak up the sun. Walk up the garden path to the front door which leads into the spacious hallway. On the left is the light and airy open plan living room and dining area, with large sash windows looking out to the garden. There is a two-seater sofa, two armchairs and a table and chairs to comfortably seat four.
This leads into the well equipped kitchen with a four ring hob, oven, fridge (with an icebox), microwave, kettle and toaster. There is also a washing machine along the hall in the utility room.
At the end of the house is the family bathroom with a bath with a shower over, WC, hand basin and towel rail.
Spiral staircase leads to the first-floor master bedroom. There is a double bed, built in wardrobes, two bedside tables and a spacious dressing area with more wardrobe space and a chest of drawers. Windows looking out to Barnaby Green make this a bright and airy room.
Up another spiral staircase is the second bedroom in the eaves. There are two single beds and plenty of storage on the landing, a great cosy space for the kids.
Outside, at the end of the house, there is a garden room, a perfect place to sit and enjoy the garden and watch the wildlife and stay dry !
There is a good size garden at the front, mainly laid to lawn, the perfect place to sit and watch the world go by. The rear garden is also a generous size and mainly laid to lawn with some shrubs and bushes. There is a table and chairs and also a bench should you wish to dine al fresco, or simply sit and enjoy a glass of your favourite tipple in the sunshine.
The rear garden can be accessed via a right of way through two other gardens from Spinner's Lane but there is no right of way past Bovis Cottage.
Spinner's Lane has direct access out onto the common and down to the harbour.

We had a wonderful stay at Bovis Cottage. It was clean and comfortable and a perfect location, just seconds from the High Street and a 10 minute walk to the beach. Absolutely perfect. We’ll be back!

We have been to Southwold many times and this is one of the nicest houses we have stayed in. It was clean on arrival which is always a bonus and the customer service we received was exceptional… we loved ourselves out on the final night and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful… thank you so much. Will definitely be back.

A lovely, comfortable, warm cottage in a peaceful but central location. Parking available but quite often a fair way down the street. The cottage was very well equipped and clean.

Whilst we didn’t have the best weather, we had a lovely stay with our 11-month old, the house was in a great location with everything in walking distance and a lovely peaceful common out the back which was nice for relaxing on after an afternoon of walking round beautiful Southwold.

Great location. Bedroom at top of the house has very steep stairs and an old window that cannot be locked, so is not suitable for younger children.

A lovely little cottage in an amazing location. A short stroll to the beach, pubs and shops. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed and the garden was lovely. The stairs up to the second bedroom were very steep and I imagine would be an issue for anyone with limited mobility. All in all a great location and a lovely cottage.

Bovis cottage is in a great location, close to the high street and within walking distance of everything. The front is under 10 mins walk. Parking wasn't an issue as we arrived on a Thursday, but things definitely get busier at weekends. the cottage was perfect for us as a group of 3 adults and a little one, though the stairs to the bedrooms are only suitable if you're sure footed, and the distance to the toilet at the back of the ground floor could be troublesome for some. Lovely outside space front and back, and very a reasonable price compared to some properties in Southwold.
