About this property
This beautifully crafted luxurious Shepherds Hut is positioned in complete privacy within a secluded setting, with the birds singing around you. You'll be sure to be amazed as you walk into the grounds with a large grassed area with topiary balls, water feature and areas to sit and enjoy the Suffolk sunshine.
The location is ideal for walkers or cyclists looking to enjoy the Suffolk Countryside and coastal positions. There is a footpath located directly from the property.
Wooden steps lead up into the spacious shepherds hut accommodating two guests, with living/dining/bedroom area, and a separate shower room. No expense has been spared with this luxurious holiday home, with beautiful oak flooring throughout, Quartz kitchen worktops, antique furnishings and Emma Bridgewater tablewear. The landscape surrounding the hut is delightful, and you can enjoy this by dining alfresco and making use of the BBQ. Metfield is a small village within Suffolk, located just a few miles from the Norfolk border. It is a perfect location that visitors get the best of both worlds: rolling countryside ready to be explored with hikes, walks and cycle rides aplenty and within a few miles, the breath-takingly beautiful coastline of the East Suffolk Heritage Coast. Towns on the coast worth visiting include Southwold and Aldeburgh. Check out market towns such as Diss, Halesworth and Woodbridge with attractions worth visiting including Framlingham Castle, Yoxford Antiques Centre and Gardens, Sutton Hoo, Somerleyton Hall and RSPB Minsmere.

A very high standard tastefully furnished hut with everything thought of for a comfortable stay, including a lovely welcome pack which was very well received! The log burner was a perfect addition with the weather being on the chilly side and the bed was so comfy. All in alll a perfect little haven!

Not here!! From the double barn door entrance, the big comfy bed, full size breakfast bar, oven and fridge, to the underfloor heating, radiators, hot shower and big fluffy towels, everything is superbly thought out. The ample, fully enclosed garden is perfect for dogs, the view is beautiful and the remote, peaceful location is idyllic. The welcome hampers are always a lovely touch and at Utopia I found it was exceptionally generous. I spent a week here working and relaxing in equal measure. The WiFi and phone signal is super reliable. I even logged in to my Netflix account for a cosy movie in bed on the swivel mounted tv. Freshingfield dog park is just a 12- minute drive away if you need an enclosed space to wear your canine companion out, off lead. A great winter get away from the hustle of everyday life and I would love to return in the spring/summer without the work laptop, to explore the area on foot. In summary and in comparison to my experience of similar properties, Utopia is a cut above.
