Bright and welcoming, this cosy bolthole for two is tucked away in the owner’s lovingly tendered cottage garden in a secluded position in the pretty village of Snape. Sympathetically furnished to make the very most of its petite size, it’s the ideal accommodation option if you want to spend your days exploring the wonderful 6-mile Sailors’ Path that runs between Snape Maltings (0.5 miles) and Aldeburgh, and your evenings rubbing shoulders with the locals in the village’s charming local pubs. The famous Snape Maltings complex is home to an excellent array of boutiques, galleries, art centres, cafes, restaurants and grand performance spaces, so it’s easy to lose some time there. Foodies will adore visiting the weekly markets at Bungay on Wednesdays (23 miles), Beccles on Fridays (24 miles) and Felixstowe on Sundays (23 miles). Alternatively, head to the coast and spend a day exploring the village of Aldeburgh (5.5 miles). There, you can wander along the beach to visit the 4m-high ‘Scallop’ statue by local artist Maggi Hambling; see where the composer Benjamin Britten created his works at The Red House and treat yourself to some mouth-watering fish and chips.
Climb the two steps and head inside this lovely single-floor property where you’ll find a handy boot cupboard with plenty of storage room for your outdoor gear. Continue on and you’ll find yourself in an impressive open-plan room consisting of a chic kitchen area, quaint dining area and a light and bright sitting area – the perfect place to spend quality time with your loved one. Completing the layout is a stylish king-size bedroom and a smart shower room.
French doors from the property’s sitting area lead out into a charming, secluded garden. There’s a small terrace with garden furniture – the ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee or a relaxing after-dinner drink.
