About this property
16c. House By The Sea. Historic Dunwich.
'The Ferns' is very spacious, some say like the 'tardis'. Beautifully furnished and positioned in this lovely village. Two sitting rooms, a snug, three woodburners, a large dining room with Aga and a separate kitchen.
There are numerous original features, throughout including the pamment floor. We have taken great pride in the house and have made it a place where we want to spend time with our friends. We have not furnished it with 'rentals' or small children in mind but as a place for us and everyone to enjoy and hopefully keep enjoying over the coming years.
Children are welcome, however please bear in mind that their are numerous antiques in the house.
We may potentially be able to cater to wheel chair user/s. Please contact us for further information to confirm your requirements.
A fantastic pub, less than a minutes walk away.
The sea can be heard from our lovely gardens.
The front garden is enclosed by a wooden picket fence with gravel pathway leading to the front door and side, with mature shrub borders and rose garden. Gated access leading round to the rear with a secret brickweave patio area and raised beds. There is a brick wall enclosing the garden with hedging above. An enchanting garden to the rear mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and shrub borders. Please help yourselves to the bountiful figs when ready to eat.
A further secluded gravelled area with pergola provides ideal secluded dining area.
A car is recommended but not essential.
Darsham is the nearest stain approx four miles away approximately two hours from London Liverpool Street Station.

Why they chose this property
Dunwich is in a conservation area, enjoying views across the marsh and sea towards Walberswick and Southwold adjoining Dingle Marshes Nature Reserve, Dunwich Heath (cliff top is National Trust owned) and Minsmere Bird Sanctuary. Its an ideal location for enjoying bird watching, walking, riding, cycling and sailing etc. Today it is a small village with a large shingle beach, a Heath & Forest stretching to Westleton in one direction and Walberswick in the other.
There is a very attractive Coastal Path walk running paralell to the coast which runs for about 3 miles to Walberswick, famous for its crabbing competitions !
There is a Trail you can follow around the local sites including the Greyfriars Friary and Church ruins five minutes walk from the house.
Coast/Beach:
We are less than 100 yards from a green flag beach.
Dunwich Museum tells the amazing story of a city lost to the sea through the narrative of its collection. The Dunwich story spans the first millennium to the present day.
Walk the dog at Dunwich Heath. Dunwich is part of the Suffolk Coast & Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. If you love nothing more than a long walk beside the sea, a brisk stroll before lunch, cycling along quiet lanes, sailing iconic estuaries, or spending hours quietly watching some of the UK's rarest wildlife, the beautiful landscape of the Suffolk Coast & Heaths AONB has it all.
Just a short drive or an hours walk, from the village you will find RSPB Minsmere. Here you can spend a day spotting some the UKs rarest birds and wildlife.
Walberswick and Southwold are a two mile walk in land or along the beach at low tide.
The more adventurous can take the two minute rowing ferry over from Walberswick, to buy fresh fish from the fisherman's huts, and then on to Southwold which has plentiful shops and a wonderfully 'frozen in time' pier.
