This stunning barn conversion is surrounded by ancient trees and rolling fields crisscrossed by winding country lanes that lead towards market towns and an enchanting coastline. Take a 150-metre stroll into Captain’s Wood, part of the eponymous nature reserve home to a bounty of wildflowers and wildlife. Guests can walk and cycle beside the Alde River (1 mile away) and even paddle along it. The castle in the village of Orford (4 miles) is a must-see, while the seaside town of Aldeburgh (10 miles) is home to an extensive beach and a variety of quirky shops and art galleries. Sutton Hoo, the site of one of the greatest Saxon archaeological finds of all time, is 12 miles away.
The open plan interior of the cottage has been finished to a high standard and is flooded with natural light that pours in through large patio doors. On the ground floor, a sitting room, dining room and kitchen all flow into one another effortlessly, with a wood burner just waiting to be lit at the end of a long day. The first floor is home to a king-size bedroom with access to a balcony to the front, as well as an en-suite shower room.
The enclosed south-facing patio is the ideal place to admire a colourful sunset or catch sight of the fallow deer that roam Captain’s Wood. Guests also share access to the grounds with the neighbouring property.
