With views of the rolling countryside and a host of scenic walks and cycleways on your doorstep, this splendid property, which has been built in the style of a barn, offers the ideal base in which to explore the very best of Suffolk.

The property has been lovingly designed and built to offer a base in which to explore the surrounding Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and the gorgeous views of the rolling Suffolk countryside, with a cycle route on your door step.  The market town of Hadleigh which has inspired many 18th century painters such as Constable and Gainsborough and Kersey a quintessential picture-postcard village are both just 1.5 miles from the property. Other popular villages such as Lavenham famed for being used in the filming of Harry Potter as his birth place. Long Melford and Clare offer a variety of antique shops and independent boutiques and eateries. With Woodbridge located on the River Deben just 18 miles away.

For coastal destinations visit Aldeburgh (38 miles) and Southwold (48 miles) and for a spot of retail therapy Bury St. Edmunds with Cathedral and Abbey Gardens is 21 miles away.

After a lovely drive through the quiet and scenic Suffolk countryside you arrive at the holiday cottage, which is situated next to the owner’s property and where you will park next to your holiday home. The hallway leads through to a bright kitchen/diner which has everything one needs to lovingly prepare a light snack or a hearty meal with the use of an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, and a Nespresso coffee machine, perfect to wake yourself up of a morning before heading out to explore the area. Once dinner is served then the dining table provides the perfect spot to wine and dine and can seat up to six guests. There is a sunny private conservatory beyond the kitchen which provides a great place to relax perhaps with a book and a coffee and this leads out to your private patio area. Back towards the front of the property is the lounge which is a fantastic place to gather with a comfortable sofa and two large armchairs providing enough seating for all guests along with a TV. You also have French doors which provide an impressive open view out towards the rolling countryside with sheep and cattle roaming, which can only but entice you out to explore the scenic area this property is surrounded by.
