Set within the Waveney Valley and surrounded by the rolling Suffolk countryside, this wonderful home is the ideal escape to the country for families and friends. For those that are wildlife lovers, anglers, and twitchers, this holiday home couldn’t be more perfect with South Elmham Lakes just 4 miles away and Weybread Fishing and Sailing Lakes only 3 miles. There are plenty of footpaths to explore nearby too so do bring your four-legged friends along! The glorious coastal town of Southwold is just a short distance away (16 miles) where you can chase the waves along the sandy shores and indulge in a seaside favourite fish and chip supper. This rural retreat for nine boasts country living at its best.

 

Step inside and you are welcomed into a lovely farmhouse kitchen equipped with all you could need during your stay, as well as an excellent utility room with plenty of additional storage. The large dining table is at the kitchen’s centre and will be the perfect setting to enjoy delicious meals together. After a day of exploring the local area, why not snuggle up on the sofas in either of the two comfortable and cosy lounges? One boasts a roaring wood burner, just perfect for those chillier days, whilst both offer Smart TVs with access to streaming services to keep everyone entertained. The property has accommodation across five bedrooms over two floors. The main bedroom plays host to a sumptuous super-king-size bed and an en-suite shower room, with a further king-size and single bedroom on this floor, both sharing a family bathroom. To get to the remaining bedrooms, take the small staircase up into the eaves where two delightful king-size bedrooms await.

 

The farmhouse is set within generous grounds and offers an enclosed, walled lawn to the front of the property which has plenty of space for croquet matches, whilst the rear garden is ideal for al fresco dining and watching the resident ducks on the pond.

This home was absolutely perfect for our family break, with 6 adults, 2 babies and a dog. The house is very spacious-three lounges and plenty of seating for relaxing and eating indoors and out. It was very generously equipped with everything we could have needed, and more! We really appreciated how well provisioned the kitchen was- clingfilm, condiRead morements, coffee- no panics about anything forgotten. And even the dog was well provided for! Very good mattresses for our dodgy backs too. The enclosed garden is large with a sandpit, gas barbecue and space to just relax. It made for a very comfortable break for all of us. Hide

Incredibly comfortable, cosy and well equipped home. Even comes with its own playroom much adored by our toddlers. House was warm even in February with lashings of hot water and a family sized fridge freezer. I'd highly recommend it.
