Set in the peaceful village of Sudbourne, just 0.1 miles from Captain's Wood, this holiday cottage is a great base for friends and families exploring Suffolk’s Heritage Coast. Start close to home with a trip to Orford (2 miles), a historic riverside village with an impressive castle, picturesque quay and renowned restaurants. For a taste of Suffolk’s cultural side, head to Snape Maltings (8 miles), where independent shops, galleries and year-round events provide plenty to see and do. Nature lovers can make the 7-mile trip to Rendlesham Forest, with scenic walking and cycling trails winding through ancient woodland. The popular coastal town of Aldeburgh is 11 miles away and well worth a visit, with its shingle beach, boutique shops and excellent seafood.
Original charm remains at the heart of this period home, from the substantial inglenook fireplace with its wood burner to the exposed beams and decorative fireplaces. These traditional details sit alongside modern appliances, furnishings and fittings, creating a comfortable base for your trip. The property is arranged over two floors, with a choice of rooms for spending time together or finding a quieter corner. On the ground floor, the stylish designer kitchen has a breakfast bar, perfect for a light meal or morning coffee, with views across the garden and surrounding greenery. The kitchen leads into a large conservatory, where double doors open onto the garden. It is a sociable space for family meals, children's games and reading. The focus of the welcoming living room is a fireplace with a wood burner, surrounded by plush sofas and chairs. Three attractive bedrooms accommodate up to six guests. On the ground floor, the flexible bedroom can be arranged with two single beds or a queen-size bed. Upstairs, the master bedroom has a king-size bed, while the second room has a day bed with a trundle, which can be arranged as either one or two single beds. A generous ground-floor bathroom sits off the utility room, with a contemporary shower room on the first-floor landing. There is also an open-plan office on the first floor, with dedicated work space, for anyone working during their stay.
Outside, the wild garden has lots to keep younger guests entertained, including a large lawn, swing and summer house. Several seating and dining areas are dotted around the garden, giving you plenty of choice for breakfast outdoors, a leisurely lunch or an evening BBQ. There is off-road parking for two cars on the grass verge directly outside the cottage.
