Located in the peaceful hamlet of Playford and set within the grounds of Playford Hall, this charming two-storey cottage welcomes couples and small families seeking a tranquil retreat in the Suffolk countryside. Beyond the flourishing estate grounds that guests are invited to explore, the market town of Woodbridge (5.5 miles) features a variety of local shops, cafes, restaurants, and scenic walking routes along the River Deben. This is also the gateway to the dramatic Suffolk & Essex Coast National Landscape – a playground for adventure thanks to its shingle beaches, ancient heathlands, and deep forests. Golfers will appreciate the choice of nearby courses, including Waldringfield Heath (6 miles) and Ufford Park (7.5 miles), while those seeking the coast can visit the beach-hut-lined seafront of Felixstowe (12.5 miles).
Step into the rear of this pretty red-brick cottage and be greeted by a chic, light-filled kitchen/diner. This well-appointed space boasts everything needed for cooking up holiday feasts, which can be enjoyed at the four-person dining table inside or al fresco in the courtyard garden. Move through to the cosy lounge to unwind after dinner and rest weary walking muscles. Sink into the soft seating, fire up the wood burner during the chillier months, and flick on the Smart TV. At the end of each day away, head upstairs and take your pick from two restful bedrooms: a master double room and a sleek king-size zip-and-link twin. Serving the bedrooms and completing the home is a lovely bathroom with a free-standing, roll-top bath and walk-in shower.
Spill outside to the enclosed courtyard garden to sip morning coffees at the bistro-style furniture or gather around the picnic table for BBQ feasts. You’re also invited to explore the wider shared grounds of Playford Hall. There is private off-road parking for two cars.
