This delightful two-storey cottage offers the perfect country bolthole, whether you’re seeking a romantic retreat for two or a welcoming base for a small family. Regarded as one of Suffolk’s most attractive villages, Long Melford has a long and eclectic high street bursting with independent shops, art galleries, antique stores, cafes, restaurants and traditional Suffolk pubs. It’s also home to two Tudor mansions – Kentwell Hall, a living history museum, and Melford Hall, a National Trust property – and it has a country park, footpaths, cycle trails and riverside walks. The historic town of Lavenham is just 4.5 miles, considered one of Britain’s best-preserved medieval towns and an important wool town, while the thriving market town of Sudbury is 3.5 miles south. This picturesque region was immortalised by John Constable, most notably at Flatford Mill in the Dedham Vale (20 miles).
This is a quaint and traditional cottage, with a welcoming, homely ambience and a rustic charm. The front door opens into the cosy sitting room with a relaxing sofa. Down the hall, there’s a pretty kitchen with a small dining table and a door to the rear patio, along with a family bathroom. Up the traditional cottage-style stairs, there are two comfortable bedrooms, a double with an ornamental fireplace and a TV, and a single.
A rear patio with a table and chairs offers a peaceful spot for a meal or drink alfresco, while guests have shared access to the owner’s beautiful, rambling garden.
