Property code: OC-OBHF

A traditional thatched property tucked on the fringes of Finningham, your party of ten can celebrate in style and embrace all the comforts of a countryside escape. Countryside walks and scenic cycle rides are at your fingertips, and a short 1-mile walk will bring you to the nearest pub for a hearty supper. Excellent transport links mean you could soon be marvelling at the architecture of Lavenham (21 miles) or soaking up the retail therapy opportunities of Bury St Edmunds (16.5 miles). The spectacular coastline provides even more opportunities for adventure, whether you are tempted by the solitude of Dunwich 30 miles away or are drawn to the Nature Reserve at Orford (30 miles).

Step inside and prepare to relax, reclining in the spacious lounge with your favourite tipple and a good film on the TV. A digital detox is possible too - you’ll be well stocked with board games. Quality time together around the table is a must, and you’ll be able to rustle up extravagant meals in the thoughtfully equipped kitchen thanks to all the gadgets and accessories. There is a snug with additional comfortable seating and a TV for quiet time, but the dining room’s inglenook fireplace is a very special setting for after-dinner drinks. You will also discover a handy office if you need to catch up on work or study, plus a utility room and cloakroom for convenience. Set across the first and second floors are five bedrooms, each one finished with its own unique flair and crisp linen. The first floor is home to an elegant bathroom, and there is a shower room on the second floor too, offering a choice of washing facilities. The largest bedroom has an en-suite shower room for an extra treat.

Sunny afternoons call for drinks on the lawn and a BBQ whilst the children play, just take care to supervise them around the unfenced pond. There is a jetty and a rowing boat for your sole use, enabling a very different view of the house from the water.
