This charming period cottage is ideal for a small family or a couple’s retreat. Set in the beautiful rural area of Letheringham on the River Deben, it is a real countryside escape. Quiet country lanes and footpaths make it a wonderful place for both cycling and walking. The nearby town of Wickham Market is just 3 miles away and offers a good range of shops and restaurants, while there are welcoming country pubs even closer. The lively town of Woodbridge is 7.5 miles away and also sits on the River Deben. It has a fascinating nautical history of shipbuilding and ropemaking which is fully explained in the local museum. It also has a close association with Sutton Hoo, one of the most important Anglo-Saxon burial sites in the UK. For those hankering for a day at the seaside, the Suffolk Heritage Coast with its many fine beaches is just 16 miles away.
The cottage is set on a quiet country lane with a pretty front garden and lovely period features. The snug living room features exposed wooden beams and a redbrick fireplace with a wood burner. Comfortable sofas are gathered around the fireplace and Smart TV making the room ideal for cosy evenings at home. The light-filled country kitchen incorporates a dining area and a back door that leads out to the rear patio and gardens. Also on the ground floor is the family bathroom with a walk-in shower and a WC. Upstairs, guests will find two ample bedrooms. These are a king-size room and a twin room. Access to the twin room is via the master bedroom.
Directly outside is a lovely sheltered patio area with trailing plants on an overhead trellis, pretty flowerbeds and wall climbers. There is a bistro table and chairs set up for enjoying your morning coffee. Around the corner is a set of comfortable outdoor lounge chairs where guests can enjoy evening drinks as they watch the stars come out. Beyond this, a long lawn leads down to the banks of the river. Here, guests can spread out a picnic blanket and watch the river roll by.
