This private oasis is tucked away in the quintessential village of Orford, which is brimming with charm and character. Orford is best known for its pretty cottages, picturesque quay, historic castle and a wonderful selection of pubs and independent shops. There are plenty of beautiful walks directly on your doorstep which meander along the river Alde and circle back into the village. Make sure you stop by the delicious bakery for a coffee and cake or to one of the pubs for a tipple and lunch. River cruises run throughout the year and are a wonderful way to see the abundance of wildlife that call this stretch of Suffolk Coast home. Orford Ness is a must see on the river cruise with a fascinating yet secret history. The popular coastal town of Aldeburgh is 11.5 miles away where you can while away the day with a picnic on the pretty pebble beach.
Bring all your favourite people together in this brilliant family home for eight. As you enter the property you are welcomed into a light and spacious open-plan living/dining room that boasts a cosy sitting area with a roaring wood burner and Smart TV at one end and a large dining table and pool table at the other. This space is a great social hub during your stay and can be extended to the tennis court and gardens through the French doors. The kitchen is modern and fully equipped for your stay with an additional dining table, too. A handy utility cloakroom is available and a great place for additional storage for boots and coats. The first of the bedrooms is on the ground floor with a comfortable double bed and ensuite shower room. Upstairs offers the remaining bedrooms, with a sumptuous super-king room with views across the gardens, a bunk bedroom ideal for children and a double room with lovely countryside views from the window and all share the family bathroom.
Set on a private 5-acre estate, you can bask in the Suffolk sunshine in the meadow, or find a spot by the large open pond to enjoy some peace and quiet. The garden offers plenty of room to play games across the fields or simply just relax. The river Alde is just over the bank where you can launch a small dinghy or join the network of footpaths that circle the village and beyond.
