The Space

History
The Vintage House is a 1928 time-warp, sleeping four, which ‘whisper it’ has been fully restored behind the scenes to offer a unique holiday experience in a very special Aldeburgh house.

Built in 1928 by a Mr Newsome, the house was purchased from his daughter, almost entirely unchanged, complete with original furniture, artwork and paint finishes.

Fully restored, using specialist techniques and finishes the property now has modern central heating as well as it primal open fire, WiFi and up to date bathroom and kitchen…all within minutes of Aldeburgh beach and High St.

Kitchen
Like no other, the kitchen at The Vintage House features the original 1920s stove plus the modern appliances needed such as a fan assisted over with ceramic hob. The pantry is home to the stylish SMEG fridge, Microwave, glasses, cutlery and crockery.

Living Room
The Vintage House has a spacious, double aspect living room with an open fire place, original 1920s furnishings and a modern TV and Smart speaker.

Dining Room
In the traditions of the 1920’s this room once hosted the family’s meals and today does the same for our guests, as well as a separate play space for children or work space for their parents!
A traditional gate leg table with four chairs sits centrally in this spacious dining and an original ornamental fire place adds to the charm of the room.

There's a charming dressing table and a few other interesting artifacts in the room, as interest pieces. Guests have plenty of storge in the built in cupboard with hanging rail.

Why book with us?

When you book with The Suffolk Cottage Collection, you're getting the best possible price- no hidden fees, no inflated commissions. And if you speak to us, chances are you'll chat with Donna, who turns bookings into a breeze and always goes the extra mile with a smile. "Donna was fantastic with communication. Nothing was ever too much trouble."

We are local

We're not just in Suffolk - we're part of it. Our little farmhouse HQ looks out over rolling fields and winding lanes, and when we pop out for a walk, it's usually through the same villages and footpaths you'll be exploring on your holiday. We're properly local - and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Always here to help you

No robots. No "please press 1." Just real people who pick up the phone and actually want to talk to you. Got a question? Want a recommendation? Need to know which pub does the best Sunday roast? We're here. And if we don't already know the answer, someone in the village probably does.

Handpicked with heart

We don't do bland. Every one of our cottages is chosen because it has something special - the kind of place we'd book ourselves (or proudly recommend to Mum). If it's in our collection, it's passed the The Suffolk Cottage Collection Standard: charm, comfort, and a sense of place you can feel the moment you step through the door.

Aldeburgh

The Vintage House is positioned on Saxmundham Road, which leads in to the coastal town of Aldeburgh.

The popular, vibrant seaside town of Aldeburgh is famous for its culture, traditional feel and one of the best fish and chip shops in the country! Aldeburgh and Snape Maltings are home to one of the world’s greatest music festivals and has been named as one of the top 50 places to live in Britain.

Crag Path runs along the seafront dividing the beautiful pebbly beach from the unspoilt pastel-coloured seafront properties and the town. The beach is a popular place for groups and couples to enjoy the wonderful fish and chips throughout the summer months.

The town is steeped in history and has become a wonderful town for shopping with a good mixture of independent and chain stores to enjoy. The town also offers a good selection of pubs and restaurants or why not buy some freshly caught fish from the huts on the seafront and cook up your own feast at home.

For those wishing for a more action-packed holiday there is excellent walking, cycling, sailing and golf at Aldeburgh. Growing in popularity you will want to return to Aldeburgh again and again!
