This charming, fully renovated 18th-century cottage is located in the village of Snape, part of a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is an ideal base for a family or group of four wanting to explore this fascinating and picturesque part of Suffolk. Snape Maltings, a heritage site located in restored Victorian buildings, featuring independent shops, places to eat and the world-renowned concert hall is less than 1 mile from the property so you can spend a day here exploring. Walkers and cyclists can take advantage of the many trails accessible from the village, including along the River Alde. From here you can hire canoes or kayaks and spend the day gliding along the river and enjoying the local wildlife. Slightly further afield, the popular seaside resort of Aldeburgh, with a long pebble beach, independent high street and a wealth of places to eat and drink is just under 5 miles away.
This character cottage really does offer the best of both worlds; original features alongside more modern fixtures and fittings. Whilst quaint and cosy, the ground floor is still flooded with plenty of light. A step down from the door takes you into a pretty light-filled sitting room with painted wooden beams and a feature fireplace with a wood burner. Head through to the open-plan, contemporary dining and kitchen area that has a dining table and chairs and has been fitted with everything required for a self-catering break. There’s also a separate WC on the ground floor. Upstairs, the first floor is home to two bedrooms, one king and one twin, both of which are bright, comfortable and attractive, in keeping with the rest of the cottage. The contemporary shower room is spacious and well-appointed.
Outside there are enclosed gardens to both the front and the rear. At the rear is a pretty cottage garden with stylish garden furniture, and both patio and gravel, offering guests the opportunity to relax outdoors surrounded by mature shrubs and plants.
