Property code: OC-O27550

This lovingly renovated cottage on a central street in Harleston is perfect for small families that wish to stay in a property that plays an important part in the village’s history. Once the old flint bank, the cottage is only one of two properties in Harleston that was built with flint in the 19th century. The River Waveney runs not far from the village and the property sits just near the Norfolk/Suffolk border. Harleston is an ancient market town, with its market running on a Wednesday. There are also many local cafes, pubs and shops to browse, as well as activities such as canoeing with Captain Canoes (3 miles) or a swim at the leisure centre (500m). You can walk from the property, or go on two wheels if preferred, and enter the tranquil beauty of the Waveney Valley. Further Afield is the historic city of Norwich, which is just 20 miles. Alternatively the picturesque sea side resort of Southwold is just 23 miles away.  

Upon entering the property, you are immediately greeted by a light, open-plan kitchen diner. The kitchen is fully equipped with new appliances – so you will have everything you need to cook up a storm. There is also dining seating so that you can enjoy your home-cooked meal together as a family. Heading through the kitchen diner, you enter a warm and welcoming sitting room with comfortable seating and a Smart TV – the perfect setting to unwind and relax after a day of exploring the Waveney Valley. Upstairs in the cottage, there are two lovely bedrooms to recharge in: one king-size and one twin. You will also find a fresh, modern family bathroom with a characterful twist to stay in keeping with the property’s history.

While there is no outside space at this property, Harleston Park is less than a quarter of a mile away with playgrounds, tennis courts and cricket pitch.

Such a beautiful cottage in a gorgeous location. We've had such a perfect stay and would certainly recommend your home. From their son: I liked the town because of the peace and quiet.

Review from Raine the account manager - Day visit in June 23 I visited the property in June and met the owners there. What an amazing job they have done renovating this property to stylish and modern yet cosy and homely holiday home. Ample cooking equipment, crockery, books and games for your stay. Location is fantastic as you are right in the cenRead moretre of Harleston itself so all the shops, restaurants, pubs, cafe's and takeaways are right on the doorstep. If you wanted to visit the coast you are only a 40 minute drive from the popular town of Southwold and the rest of the Suffolk coast or you will be based perfectly to explore the rest of the Suffolk countryside and villages. Pet friendly as well so you will find loads of great walks to take the pooch on! Hide
