A perfect choice for a small family or group of friends wishing to enjoy the tranquillity of rural Suffolk, this first-floor apartment is situated in the Suffolk Coast & Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, within 10 acres of beautiful grounds. Surrounded by excellent footpaths, this area has some fantastic views over the countryside and the North Sea. Hollesley village, where there is a shop, post office and pub, is half a mile away, and the coast at Shingle Street less than 3 miles. Don’t miss Sutton Hoo, the Anglo-Saxon royal burial site now owned by the National Trust, 6 miles away – the 255-acre estate is home to one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time. The busy market town of Woodbridge, which has a wealth of independent shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants, is 8 miles away, and the charming village of Orford is 10 miles, where you will find a medieval castle, a picturesque quay, a Grade I-listed church and some fine local food shops. The seaside town of Aldeburgh, with its Georgian high street housing independent shops, galleries and restaurants, is 16.5 miles distant. Its 16th-century Moot Hall is worth a visit, as is the fine hilltop church where composer Benjamin Britten is buried.
Stairs lead from the entrance hall to the apartment, where you will find a landing with storage space, a writing desk and a SMEG fridge/freezer. The lounge has a huge window, comfortable seating and a dining table, and there is a separate, bright and spacious kitchen with a large Velux window. There are two light and airy bedrooms – a king-size and a twin - with charming sloping ceilings, and a fresh and bright family bathroom.
The 10 acres of stunning grounds that surround the apartment include two lakes, wildflower meadows, trees and lawns, offering the chance to spot otters, deer and a variety of wild birds, or simply to relax and recharge in this peaceful atmosphere. The grounds are shared with the owners, and some parts are private.
