About this property
A tranquil rural hideaway with ample walking and cycling from the doorstep, Bury St Edmunds, Thetford, Norwich and Ipswich within 25 miles, and The Broads, coastlines, Newmarket and Cambridge only a little further afield (30-45 miles). You could hardly be better located to enjoy the beauty, ancient history and big open skies of East Anglia. Whether you are tempted by the awe-inspiring Anglo-Saxon site at Sutton Hoo, Suffolk's celebrated wetlands at Minsmere, the landscape that inspired Constable's famous paintings, seal watching from Southwold, Ed Sheeran’s beloved Framlingham, or Bury St Edmunds with its 1,000 years of history and abundance of fine dining, you can be sure of endless choice and a peaceful retreat at the end of the day.
The open-plan living area welcomes you inside with seasonal produce from the garden. Relax on the sofas, read, watch the Smart TV, or simply enjoy the birds and wildlife from the sun-trap patio. The kitchen is fully equipped to prepare meals for sharing around the table while chatting about plans for your stay. An elegant shower room with a spacious walk-in shower completes the ground floor. Two beautifully presented bedrooms with stunning beamed character are located upstairs. On a sunny day, the king-size room has a balcony to bring fresh air into the space, while the single room has a Juliet balcony. There is also a separate WC on the first floor.
With no light pollution and very little traffic, wildlife is the greatest distraction here. You will have your own south-facing terrace with seating plus a separate courtyard, and you will be free to explore the beautiful enclosed 2-acre gardens which open regularly for charity and have been specifically designed to create a wildlife haven.
