Tucked away in a scenic village, this one-bedroom cottage has been sensitively renovated and thoughtfully furnished to provide the ultimate serene and cosy bolthole for exploring the superb coastline. Benhall is a small, quiet village situated on the edge of the Suffolk Heritage Coast and Heaths district, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Explore the world-renowned seaside neighbouring town of Aldeburgh, boasting a 19th-century promenade, pebbled beach with fishermen’s huts selling the daily catch and the award-winning Aldeburgh Treasure Trail (7 miles). Take a walk through the area’s colourful past at Framlingham Castle, 9 miles away, a magnificent 12th-century fortress surrounded by parkland and a picturesque lake. Or head to the coastal lagoons to discover some of the UK's rarest wildlife at RSPB Minsmere National Reserve, 9 miles away.
Situated next door to the owner’s property and up a few steps, the cottage welcomes you straight into the spacious kitchen/diner, well-equipped with everything you need to cater – complete with country-style table and chairs and characterful exposed wooden ceiling beams. The rear of the cottage opens out into a bright and airy living room, complemented by plenty of comfortable seating, a TV/DVD, a characterful exposed timber frame, and a cosy wood burner. A wonderful suntrap conservatory provides more relaxed seating and laundry facilities. Upstairs comprises a spacious king-size bedroom with the same delightful features and traditional decor as downstairs.
Outside, a large patio garden with a raised fishpond and pergola awaits, enclosed by wooden fencing, perfect for private al fresco dining or catching the summer sun. There is also bike storage available in the large shed situated in the garden.
