This one-bed property is in a carefully converted farm building on the Iken Barns complex. It offers a simply heavenly bolthole in the Suffolk countryside for two, with terrific views over the River Alde towards Snape. Why not make Snape Maltings your first foray? It’s just 2 miles to this arts complex with shopping, food and drink too. Or blow the cobwebs away along Aldeburgh’s shingle beach and mooch around the independent shops in this town associated with Benjamin Britten. But bring your boots as there’s lots of opportunity to walk and cycle from here if you can tear yourself away from the cottage!
Feel right at home in this characterful self-catering property, part of a former barn. Downstairs it’s got a really modern feel with a practical open-plan layout, but with charming original features including exposed ceiling timbers. It’s cosy, rustic and smart all at the same time with light wood floors, staircase ascending from here and cosy wood burner. The kitchen has all the kit needed to self-cater in style and you can eat at your table for two. The shower room and WC is on the ground floor too. Upstairs is just the elegant bedroom with antique-style, metal framed bed, built-in storage and those all-important views from the large window right opposite your king size or next to the welcoming armchair. Heavenly!
Guests have the use of a private patio with furniture looking out onto larger, communal gardens. And beyond that there’s the lovely views over the River Alde towards Snape. But with countryside all around, there’s no shortage of green space to enjoy.
