Property code: OC-BROF

From the capacious living spaces to the pretty herb garden and generous lawn outside, not to mention the swimming pool, this property is an ideal choice for socialising as a large group in the Suffolk countryside. A short trip to Wenhaston 4 miles away provides local amenities, while the pub at Bramfield is only 2 miles away. For a beach, take a trip 9 miles east to the coast at Dunwich, where you can also explore the village of Dunwich itself, rich in medieval history. At Southwold 12 miles to the north-east you can find more beach to enjoy, as well as the restored Victorian pier and the Southwold Maize Maze for a fun few hours with the family. Closer to home (3.5 miles) is the Wilderness Reserve, if you fancy some pampering treatments and therapies, and closer to home still are all the stunning walks you can take right from the front door.

On the ground floor there is a spacious kitchen/diner which has a lot of natural light and lovely views thanks to the bi-fold doors that open out into the herb garden. The sitting room is full of comfortable seating in front of the wood burner, and there is a utility room with extra appliances as well as a cloakroom. There is a snug that acts as a second sitting room with yet more seating and another wood burner, while you will also find the first bedroom and shower room on the ground floor. On the first floor are the remaining 3 bedrooms and the family bathroom. The super-king-size bedroom has an en-suite shower room.

Outside, the large garden wraps around the property and is mainly lawn surround by beautiful trees and other plants, and there is plenty of outdoor seating as well as a BBQ. Doors from the sitting room and kitchen/dining room lead out into the peaceful and picturesque herb garden with more seating. The swimming pool is surround by trees and there are loungers for sunbathing in good weather.

Brook Farm is a lovely period Suffolk farm house which has been very sensitively decorated and extended to give a modern kitchen, dining area and utility room which can be opened out onto a terrace and beautiful kitchen garden.

Everything is very well appointed. The owner is very friendly and responsive to helping with any questions. There is a lot to see in this quiet and peaceful part of Suffolk, but if its too hot or you want to just relax , the heated pool and gardens are such a haven. Hide

Just spent a week at this fabulous property. Very comfortable and plenty of space for a family group. The garden was amazing and we really enjoyed having a pool too! Lovely rural location.

A beautiful period cottage in splendidly tended garden, a real treat to stay in. The pool was just great and at a very comfortable temperature. The kitchen/diner is very well equipped and is just a joy when the folding doors are open. However, we did think the rather rustic stairs to the first floor were a bit challenging for the elderly.

Your farm house was delightful, comfortable and well equipped.

Brook Farm is the most wonderful and relaxing place to spend time. The house is so thoughtfully decorated, and equipped, with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was a joy to cook in, being a real home away from home. The lovely pool is set in stunning gardens, in a tranquil and remote setting. However, the house Read moreis close enough to Halesworth for easy access to the shops, and the coast isnt much further. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend this beautiful property. Hide

We had a lovely week in this beautiful house. The house and gardens are well equipped and very well maintained, the pool is lovey (we were really lucky with the weather!) We really could not have asked for more.

Property and gardens immaculate, swimming pool temperature and water was great, also with an electric operated pool cover so easy to use. With table tennis, darts, boules, swing ball and many indoor Games plenty to do. Good wi fi reception so easy to book evening meals at local pubs.

Brook Cottage was ideal for our family group's holiday: an idyllic and peaceful location in the Suffolk countryside yet well-placed to explore the surrounding villages and diverse attractions along the coast, from nature walks and cultural experiences to local shopping and fish and chips on the beach. The farmhouse was beautifully decorated, spaciRead moreous and comfortable with a well-stocked kitchen/dinner allowing us to prepare family meals and enjoy the delicious local produce. We were able to keep ourselves amply entertained indoors with copious reading material and board games as well as enjoying time outdoors in the beautiful garden and a rather lovely swimming pool which proved a favourite amongst our party. Many thanks for a wonderful home-from-home stay. Hide
