Tucked away within beautiful grounds, find peace and tranquillity at this charming cottage in one of East Anglia’s prettiest and most historic villages just a stone’s throw from the Suffolk Heritage Coast, perfect for families and friends to enjoy the delights of this irresistible corner of Suffolk.

After a long day exploring your surroundings, enjoy wonderful views across the garden from the light and bright open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, offering a traditional rustic aesthetic and peaceful atmosphere that beckons you to cook up a storm with your delicious local produce in the contemporary kitchen, make special family memories seated around the farmhouse-style dining table and unwind on the plush sofas whilst catching your favourite programme on the TV. As day turns to dusk, indulge in a long soak in the bath in the family bathroom before retiring to either of the two bedrooms which feature the same soothing colour palette as the rest of the cottage. Invite the outside in by throwing open the patio doors in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner to dine alfresco on the pretty patio before exploring half an acre of lawn dotted with mature trees and shrubs.

Dominated by the impressive remains of a 12th-century castle, the pretty town of Orford lies in the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and offers everything from serene river cruises from the quay half a mile away to peaceful walks along marshes, lagoons and waterways at Orford Ness Nature Reserve also half a mile away. Enjoy far-reaching views across the town, Orford Ness and out to sea by exploring Orford Castle less than half a mile away, one of the country’s most unusual keeps. Enjoy a spot of retail therapy at Snape Maltings (5.5 miles) home to converted Victorian buildings full of fabulous independent shops, restaurants and art galleries.
