About Arts House

A home from home, in Harwich Old Town

Welcome to our two-bedroom townhouse, thoughtfully redecorated with a blend of vintage and modern touches. As a characterful old house, please note that it does have some uneven floors—adding to its charm!

To keep things cozy and clean, we kindly ask that shoes be left in the lobby.

Ground Floor

Living Room

The spacious living area offers a Freesat TV, DVD player, and stereo with a record player—perfect for winding down. We’ve stocked a handpicked collection of DVDs and vinyl for you to explore.

Kitchen

The bright, quarry-tiled kitchen/diner overlooks the courtyard garden and is fully equipped, whether you're cooking from scratch, heating up a ready meal, or decanting fish and chips onto plates (if you’re feeling fancy).

Garden

Step outside into the walled garden, framed by a stylish raised, pebbled planter with shrubs and trees. The fragrant jasmine by the kitchen door and handy bay tree for cooking add to its charm. The garden furniture invites you to relax in the morning or evening sun—coffee outdoors is a must, even on crisp mornings!

 First Floor

A staircase leads to the bedrooms and bathroom. Please mind your head as the ceiling over the first leg of the stairs is a little low.

Master Bedroom

The largest bedroom features a king-size bed and is bright and airy with painted wooden floors, rugs, and a desk/dressing table for added convenience. A built-in wardrobe includes extra bedding, and the Which? Recommended medium-firm mattress ensures a comfortable night’s sleep. Peek out the window and look left—you’ll spot the River Stour estuary (yes, this technically counts as a river view!).

Second Bedroom

Cozy and inviting, the second bedroom has a double bed and overlooks the garden. A fitted wardrobe, chest of drawers, and dressing table provide ample storage. The Which? Recommended medium-soft mattress makes this space just as comfortable as it is charming.

Bathroom

Newly tiled and equipped with all the essentials, including a bath with a fitted shower. We provide hand soap, shampoo, shower gel, cotton wool, and emergency tampons as standard.
