Nestled in the Suffolk countryside, this holiday home for family or friends offers a wonderful blend of tranquillity and adventure. A mile away, the village of Alderton has a friendly pub and a handy village shop for picking up picnic supplies before heading out on a walk through the surrounding countryside and villages. For a day by the sea, Shingle Street beach is only 5 miles away. This hidden gem is mostly known by locals, making it a wonderfully quiet spot for beachcombing, paddling, and swimming. A short trip of 2 miles brings you to Bawdsey Manor and Quay, steeped in history and boasting riverside views. From here, you can hop on the ferry across the river to Felixstowe, where sandy beaches and family-friendly attractions await. An 8 mile-drive away, Woodbridge has everything from supermarkets to friendly pubs and tempting restaurants.

Step into the welcoming hallway, where you’ll find a convenient cloakroom and a contemporary bathroom with a bath with shower over for freshening up after a day of exploring, and a separate WC. From here, move into the dining room, an ideal space for family meals and social gatherings with a sofa and an armchair in the corner. Just off the dining area, the living room offers a really welcoming, cosy space for spending time together with plush sofa seating and a Smart TV. At the rear of the property, a sleek and modern kitchen opens directly onto the garden, making it easy to enjoy a morning coffee in the fresh air. Upstairs, choose between three light and airy bedrooms – one king, one double and one single that each promise a peaceful night’s sleep, with plenty of space for everyone to unwind.

Outside, the expansive garden is a real highlight, with mature trees, a lush lawn, and plenty of space to soak up the sunshine or let little ones run free. Private parking for two cars ensures a hassle-free stay.
