Occupying a secluded rural spot, this beautiful Elizabethan-style oak-timbered retreat makes a fantastic holiday getaway for families, friends and couples. Set in the quiet surroundings of the peaceful hamlet of Hinton, the cottage has been stylishly updated while retaining original features including timber beams, exposed brickwork and stable-style doors, as well as a cosy wood burner and elegant freestanding roll-top bath. Offering spacious rustic-styled accommodation for up to six guests, this characterful home is a fabulous base for walkers, nature lovers and cyclists discovering Suffolk’s breathtaking coastline and glorious countryside.
The cottage features a spacious double-aspect lounge with soft furnishings and a wood burner set in an impressive brick surround, making a wonderful space for everyone to settle back in the evenings to watch a movie or chat about the day. The characterful dining area is ideal for sharing celebratory family meals which you can rustle up in the elegantly updated kitchen. Upstairs, you will find a beautiful bathroom and refreshing shower room alongside three beautiful timber-clad bedrooms all with rural views: two pretty king-size rooms and a charming double. Outside, the house is surrounded by large lawns with hand-carved open chestnut fencing. The gardens feature a charming paved terrace with teak outdoor furniture, making a wonderful spot to sit back in the evenings and dine alfresco.
Surrounded by the Suffolk countryside, the cottage is just a few miles from the coast, with the bustling seaside towns and villages of Southwold, Dunwich, Thorpeness and Aldeburgh all within 13 miles. Heading inland, the pretty market town of Halesworth (7 miles) has an array of great places to eat drink.
