Make lifelong memories with your loved ones at this former fire station in the historic village of Orford. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms, it’s perfect for small families or groups of friends looking for a historic cottage to call home while they explore the Suffolk coast together. Spend a lovely day wandering along the banks of River Ore, and in the evening, come home to relax with a glass of wine in the cottage’s walled patio.
Park in your private spot and take a moment to appreciate your holiday home’s striking architectural design, which blends the building’s historic past with striking floor-to-ceiling windows and chic wood cladding. Step inside and you’ll be greeted by a light-filled open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area. Find your spot on the sofa and make yourself at home before heading to the sleek kitchen area to rustle up your dinner. Get everyone together to eat at the dining table, or head out onto the patio and dine alfresco. After dinner, make your way back to the lounge area to catch up on your favourite TV shows. At the end of the day, head upstairs and you’ll find two charming bedrooms - a beautiful king-size bedroom with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and a handy family room with a single bunk over a double bed. Completing the layout is a modern family bathroom on this level, as well as a smart shower room on the ground floor.
Hop aboard a boat from Orford to Havergate Island (2 miles), a unique nature reserve at the confluence of the River Ore and River Butley where you can spot avocets and terns. Or head off to Rendlesham Forest (7 miles), which is ideal for walking, cycling and reconnecting with nature.
