Bursting with charming original features celebrating the local history and heritage of the historic surrounding village of Orford, be transported to centuries past at this traditional Suffolk hideaway perfectly placed to enjoy the unspoilt landscape of this beautiful corner of Suffolk’s coastline.
Driftwood accents, exposed brick fireplaces, original brick flooring and sloping beam-clad ceilings throughout these two traditional Suffolk buildings create an endlessly tranquil atmosphere that beckons you to soothe weary walking muscles beside roaring electric log-effect fire in the rustic dining room, get creative with your delicious local produce in the farmhouse-style kitchen and hunker down on the comfy sofas in the lounge for the ultimate film night in front of the TV. As day turns to dusk, you have three characterful bedrooms upstairs that all feature a calming colour palette of neutral tones, plus a converted old bakery building accessed outside the main building which houses an additional en-suite bedroom that features the same rustic décor as the main cottage. Dine long into the evening and star gaze way past bedtime in the enclosed patio garden.
