  • A charming converted mill in the pretty village of Wickham Market - the perfect romantic retreat for two
  • Dating back almost 250 years, it has a delightful interior with a wealth of original beams
  • Located in a quiet lane on the outskirts of the village with views of surrounding countryside
Property code: OC-SAMP

Settle into this quirky couple’s bolthole for a memorable getaway in a converted mill from the 1700s with round rooms, wooden beamed ceilings and English country decor. While away your time on romantic nature walks and lazy beach days in the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty before hunkering down in the cosy lounge with a winding staircase or dining alfresco with a bottle of bubbly in the tranquil garden.

Approaching this property you’ll be struck by the unique shape of the exterior – which resembles a tower of a castle. Step inside to discover the unique circular lounge/diner with a splash of elegant pinks, two plump sofas, an intimate dining table with chairs plus a TV. Cook a meal for two in the bright ‘L’-shaped kitchen decorated with shades of green and plenty of natural light streaming through the skylights, large windows and glass patio door. Completing the ground floor is a bathroom. Climb the wooden, curved staircase to reach the chic double bedroom with an en-suite. Outside is a patio with furniture.

During your stay in the large countryside village of Wickham Market, you’ll have a handful of shops and restaurants within 1 mile. Browse the selection of plants at the nearby garden centre (1 mile) or fill your day with history at the Bentwaters Cold War Museum (5.5 miles). Head into the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for some bird watching at the RSPB Boyton and Hollesley Marshes (10.5 miles) and follow the nature trails at National Trust Orford Ness (11 miles). Spend a day at Sudbourne Beach (13 miles) and wander along the seafront to reach the quaint town of Aldeburgh (12.5 miles) which is full of Tudor-style architecture.

The cottage had everything we needed for a great week, the unusual building added interest. It was a very quiet and peaceful location but within easy reach of the Suffolk coastline. The owners were very friendly and helpful.

This is a lovely, quirky cottage. The area is lovely and the owners are very friendly and welcoming. The equipment supplied covers all eventualities, in fact, I don't think there is anything that has not been covered. The welcome pack supplied by the owners was a lovely surprise. We had a great time here and would certainly consider returning.

A beautiful and unique property, in a great location and centre for exploring a wide area of the coast and countryside. A very private hide-away, but the owners were on hand should anything be needed. Shops for essentials were also just a ten minute walk away. My favourite nearby location was Woodbridge (5 miles away) where there was plenty to sRead moreee and do, and a wonderful river-side walk to get away from everything (bird-watching excellent especially at low tide). Recommended without reservation. Hide
