Spend quality time together in this two-bedroom cottage. Found opposite the beautiful Norman-era church in the small East Suffolk village of Sweffling, it’s surrounded by footpaths, with ample access to many countryside walks. Journey through history at local attractions such as the Parham Airfield Museum (3 miles), Framlingham Castle (4 miles), Leiston Abbey (8 miles) Bentwaters Cold War Museum (9 miles) and at The Red House in Aldeburgh (9.5 miles). Or get outdoors at Captain’s Wood (10.5 miles), the National Trust Orford Ness National Nature Reserve (12 miles) and at RSPB Minsmere (11 miles). There are many charming towns and villages to explore nearby, including Woodbridge, with its array of restaurants, cafes and an interesting market (12 miles) and the seaside resorts of Aldeburgh and Thorpeness (both 10 miles).
An entrance porch, with hooks for coat and boot storage, leads into the open-plan living area. A wood burner creates a cosy ambience, complemented by on-trend furnishings including a dining table with Eames-style chairs. French doors at both ends allow light to flood into this space. A separate kitchen with splashes of colour is also found on the ground floor. Upstairs, via the staircase that’s open on one side, there are two bedrooms. The cosy double bedroom features sloping ceilings and its own vanity unit and sink. Full of charm, the twin bedroom benefits from plenty of natural light and has a TV. Completing the upstairs layout is a compact shower room with rainfall shower.
A patio with planted borders wraps around three sides of the property, enclosed by hedging and walls. This garden, furnished with deck chairs and a table, is a delightful spot for morning coffee or a sundowner.
