This picture-postcard cottage all on one level has one bedroom, making it an idyllic rural retreat for any couple. It’s located in the tranquil Suffolk village of Great Bealings within the owners’ garden. It makes an ideal base for exploring the wider area – both inland and coastline. Just 5.5 miles away is the fascinating Sutton Hoo, a National Trust property housing an incredible Anglo-Saxon burial site covering 245 acres. A mile from there, Woodbridge is a charming market town on the River Deben with independent shops, museums and interesting architecture. Catch some culture at Snape Maltings, 15 miles to the east, while stylish seaside town Aldeburgh is 19 miles away or head 6.5 miles to the big town of Ipswich to stock up on supplies and have a mooch. Or simply head outdoors and explore the multitude of walking, cycling and canoeing opportunities on your doorstep or towards the coast in the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Offering quintessential cottage style, perfectly hitting the balance of smart and simple to give interior styling that’s classic, cosy and relaxing. The living room has comfortable seating, quaint period window with an exposed brick chimney breast housing a wood burner for cooler evenings. There’s a TV, but it’s cleverly boxed into an original looking built-in cupboard. The tiled floor and cottage-style latch door only add to its rustic appeal. You can sit at the table for two in the kitchen and admire the ancient exposed beam above you. The modern kitchen is well-equipped for tackling any self-catering needs. The bright and airy bedroom has an antique-style metal framed king-size bed, wooden floorboards and light wood furniture.
At this property there is a fenced and gated cottage garden for guests to enjoy, including canine chums! There’s a small lawn plus paved area with garden furniture and BBQ for those al fresco feasts. The brick path snakes through the garden with some shallow steps, so keep an eye on very young children.
