Property code: OC-DFB

A tastefully refurbished property enveloped by blissful private grounds, set near the historic village of Huntingfield in the heart of the Blythe Valley. This tranquil oasis is perfect for families or groups of friends escaping into nature. Amble past charming thatched-roof cottages and through ancient woodland on the gentle trail winding from Huntingfield (3 miles), then settle in for an opulent family feast in the high-vaulted dining space.

Dating back to the 16th Century, this striking property beautifully blends traditional charm and contemporary style. Picture an intricate network of exposed wooden beams, rich earthy tones, and cool tile flooring. Venture into the elegant lounge/diner and sink onto the plump sofas. Drink in your tranquil surroundings from the floor-to-ceiling windows or throw open the patio doors to enjoy breezy indoor-outdoor living. Lay the wooden feasting table with a tempting spread, pop some bubbly, then while away the evening over a leisurely meal. Keen cooks will be in their element pottering the in sleek farmhouse kitchen overlooking the garden. Big kids can slink away for some competitive fun in the games room while the leisure-seekers blether over a late-night glass of wine on the patio. Retreat to the comfort of three en-suite bedrooms. Choose from a stylish king and an airy twin on the ground floor as well as a second king on the mezzanine level. Outside, get lunch sizzling on the BBQ on the terrace or embark on a stroll through the acres of serene farmland.

After tackling the woodland trails, stretch your feet in the warmth of the wood burner and sip a drink in the friendly local watering hole in Huntingfield (3.5 miles). Gaze at the intricating painted ceiling adoring Mary’s Church in Halesworth (7 miles) or soak up the nostalgic seaside charm of Southwold (17 miles).
