Brick Cottage, Kettlebaston

About this property

Bildeston 2.4 miles. Immaculately presented, Brick Cottage in Suffolk is an impressive rural cottage which is perfect for families on holiday. The open-plan living space is stunningly presented and makes it a simply wonderful space for families to spend time together, with the clever addition of a separate living room for anyone who wants some time away from the hustle and bustle of the main house. As the name suggests, bricks are very much the theme with some beautiful feature brick walls helping to create a truly rustic yet contemporary ambience. The sitting room is warm and welcoming with wood flooring and a sofa arranged in front of the woodburning stove, making it the ideal spot for curling up together and catching up on the day’s adventures. The open layout means that the appointed chef can step into the well-equipped kitchen and prepare food while the rest of the family can gather around making a truly social space. Once the meal has been prepared and cooked, guests can gather around an attractive dining table where you can imagine spending many happy hours drinking, eating and generally putting the world to rights! Outside there is a delightful patio area set up with a table and chairs, making it ideal for alfresco dining and extensive lawns with bench seating so the grown-ups can take a seat with a tipple in hand whilst watching the children (and dogs!) running round the gardens safely. Holidays don’t get more relaxing than that. When bedtime calls both bedrooms are equally inviting, and the family bathroom is fully fitted with everything needed for either a refreshing shower or a relaxing soak. Brick Cottage is a great base for getting out and about and exploring the local area with the sleepy village of Kettlebaston right on the doorstep and a short drive away towns such as Bildeston, Lavenham and a little further afield, Ipswich are all well worth a visit. Under an hour’s drive away are the sandy beaches of Frinton, Walton and Felixstowe, so why not pack a picnic and make a day of it? For a taste of history, take a trip to Helmingham Hall and Open Gardens and Melford Hall or for a day out for the whole family, try Castle Country Park and Easton Farm Park. For a family holiday to remember pay a visit to Brick Cottage.
