Escape to the Country: Embracing a New Weekend Lifestyle in Suffolk

Are you tired of the hustle and bustle of city life? Have you ever dreamt of owning a holiday home in the tranquil setting of the English countryside? Look no further than Suffolk – a picturesque county known for its stunning landscapes, rich history, and quaint charm. In this blog, we explore the journey of living in Essex and investing in Suffolk

There is nothing Darren Dukes loves more of a weekend than gathering the family together, strapping the kickboard to the roof and heading to Suffolk for some fresh air and into the water for some therapeutic paddle boarding. These last few years, especially post-pandemic have made us reconsider the hustle and bustle of life and re-evaluate how we spend our leisure time.

Within our agency we have spoken to many clients looking to downsize here in Essex, keep a smaller base in the same neighbourhood and release cash to buy a holiday home for weekend breaks and with it the chance to create additional income from holiday lets. Here is our take on this new, growing market.

Did you know that Suffolk is becoming increasingly popular among holidaymakers looking for unique accommodation experiences? Many homeowners are turning to Airbnb as a lucrative platform for letting their holiday homes. The flexibility provided by Airbnb allows you to rent out your property on a short-term basis, enabling you to generate substantial income during peak holiday seasons and fund your costs for when you live within the property yourself.

Think sweet melodies of birds chirping and the gentle rustling of leaves outside your window. Suffolk offers a plethora of idyllic properties waiting to be discovered. Whether you're seeking a charming cottage, a modern coastal retreat, or a historic manor, Suffolk has something to suit every taste. 

So, why wait? talk to Amos Estates today about how much you could expect to achieve for your home, look at the finances with Barry Clarke, our mortgage broker and hit the A12 for a look around Suffolk, embrace the allure of holiday home ownership in the County and embark on an unforgettable journey of escape, relaxation, and rejuvenation.
