Set on a private road overlooking a beautifully maintained green, this sweet (and deceptively spacious) property is in an ideal location for a couple or a family of three wishing to relax in the Suffolk countryside and explore its many delights. It is set in the historic market town of Halesworth, where you will find a fabulous range of independent shops, pubs and restaurants, an arts centre and a range of interesting buildings, from timber-framed structures to Victorian former almshouses. The town’s Millennium Green is also worth exploring, comprising 50 acres of meadows, woodlands, rivers, ponds, heathland and orchards. Just 2.5 miles away, Valley Farm Vineyards offers guided tours and tastings, while for an unusual day out Camel Park Oasis, 6.5 miles, offers camel rides and llama walks. The popular seaside towns of Southwold and Walberswick are both 9 miles away, as is the quiet village of Dunwich, known as England’s ‘lost city’ because its once-thriving medieval port was lost to storms and coastal erosion. Now it has a pebble beach, a large nature reserve and the ruins of a medieval friary to explore.
The cosy cottage is set over two stories, with six steps up to its front door. On the ground floor is a light-filled lounge with comfortable seating, an ornamental fireplace, fully glazed doors to the garden and a drop-leaf dining table at one end. The separate kitchen is bright and airy, with plenty of cupboard and worktop space. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms which share a bathroom: a spacious double with a chest of drawers and built-in wardrobe, and a more compact single with a bedside table and small hanging rail.
Slide open the doors in the lounge and step out into the lovely garden, with a lawn and patio area for sitting and enjoying the fresh country air, perhaps with a book or while discussing the day’s adventures.
