An enchanting period property that sleeps eight on the cusp of the Suffolk coastline, this historic abode is an ideal vantage point for outdoor adventures. Lose yourself amongst the stunning surroundings, exploring the remains of a 12th Century castle keep and navigating the ethereal marshlands of the nature reserve. Sailing and boat trips are available too, and you can meander along the coast to discover dramatic cliffs and beautiful beaches such as Aldeburgh 11.5 miles away. Known for its bustling high street, popular beach and thriving food festival, Aldeburgh is a wonderful place to spend the day, whether this involves sampling local cuisine, playing beach games or delving into the history and heritage of the town.
Dating back to the 16th-century, this gem of a property boasts an array of original features including timber beams, wooden panelled walls, and sloped ceilings. Traditional decor, a roaring wood burner and antique-style furniture add to the old-world charm, creating a timeless atmosphere whilst you are enjoying the contemporary convenience of the kitchen or living room. Rustle up a feast and gather the family around the table that seats eight comfortably. The living area features cosy seating and a TV, DVD player, Blu-Ray player and CD for evening entertainment, or why not break open the board games in the snug and enjoy some healthy competition. At bedtime, climb the traditional wooden staircase to find the bedrooms, choosing from a pretty twin room or two grand rooms with a four-poster bed each and shared access to a Jack-and-Jill dressing room. There are two elegant bathrooms to choose from for an invigorating shower or a long soak. Completing the property is a twin bedroom tucked in the eaves of the second floor, accessed via a steep set of stairs.
Outside, the garden is shared with the friendly owners but you’ll have your own allocated area for relaxing in the sunshine. There’s also an opportunity to store boats in the parking area. Your accommodation is 250m from Orford Quay with its launching ramp (charges apply).
