>>>"Southwold is quite upmarket"
Well the most basic beach hut will cost you around £80,000, with the dearer ones costing much more than that. (They usually sell within minutes of going on the market). So it helps to have money in Southwold but, unlike Aldeburgh down the road, it's not 'snotty'. It's just a lovely old-fashioned resort town. (No CCTV. No police presence, other than a couple of PCSOs strolling round once every few hours. A ferry service across the river which is still operated by one man in a row boat. It's delightful).
