The Listening Station is a contemporary property that has been designed to blend in with its natural surroundings, offering wonderful views towards the cliffs and beaches of Covehithe. With only a low-lying cliff edge and a near private beach separating you from the sea, The Listening Station lies in a truly special location where you can enjoy the changing light of Suffolk’s huge skies, experience spectacular sunrises and sunsets, hear the sounds of the waves and appreciate nature at its most idyllic.

As with its sister property, the Watch Room, it sleeps four in two spacious double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. The central area of the property is a comfortable living and eating area that opens out onto a decked terrace. The property’s name comes from the fact that Royal Navy Wrens listened out for German submarines in World War II right from this very shoreline.

This truly secluded hideaway comes with a beautiful, secluded beach on your doorstep, lovely coastal walks and amazing birdlife just outside your windows. Yet the vibrant and buzzing town of Southwold is just an easy walk or cycle ride away. Despite the seclusion, you’ll find plenty to do in the immediate area, with anything from birdwatching through to boating and watersports on the agenda.
