The Old School Studio

Description

Longing for a comfortable retreat for total peace and relaxation? Look no further than The Old School Studio. Situated, as the name suggests, opposite the former school to the Suffolk village of Friston, The Old School Studio offers studio style accommodation for two. Sitting atop a cart lodge, the apartment enjoys breathtaking views out over the shared gardens and on towards the rolling fields beyond. To be enjoyed with the windows and doors either shut or open - there really is a calming atmosphere here, and what with the changing plant life throughout the seasons, there is always a rich amount of colour to enjoy, be it from the surrounding walled gardens or the 'no two the same' sunsets. All of which can be appreciated from the comfort of your bed should you wish! 

Small, yet perfectly formed, the apartment comprises of an open plan living and sleeping area. A small kitchenette with sink, microwave, toaster and hot plate is ideal for preparing light lunches to small meals - although, for something more substantial, you may wish to amble down to the village pub, just 5 minutes on foot. Two single beds face out towards the gorgeous views, whilst a separate door leads to the modern shower room. Every detail has been considered here - from the fold down table, to the clever hanging store in the alcove - this truly is an ideal base for two looking to explore the delights of the immediate surroundings. Regular visitors to Snape Maltings or attendees of the Aldeburgh Festival, Snape Proms, HighTide Fesitival and the Aldeburgh Literary Festival (to name but a few of the fantastic local events in this corner of the county) can book The Old School Apartment with a comfortable nights' sleep guaranteed.
