Corner Cottage, Dennington

About this property

A little path takes you through a gate and into the courtyard where you’ll find the stable door opening into the large, light, airy and well-equipped kitchen; a great space to prepare meals at home. You’re sure to enjoy relaxing in the living/dining room beyond, with woodburning stove and generous sofas for cosy evenings. Originally a bookshop, the additional ground floor room can be used as a bedroom with comfy day bed and en suite shower, or simply as a reading room with memories of a bygone era! Both the double and twin rooms on the first floor are tastefully furnished, and you're sure to lay back and unwind in the luxuriously deep slipper bath sitting in the pretty bathroom.

Corner Cottage is in a convenient position for exploring the Suffolk coast and countryside or, simply, chilling and making the most of facilities in Dennington with the occasional duck waddling past! The courtyard is fully enclosed with a high wall, perfectly secure for children and dogs.

Ground Floor

There are a couple of steps up to the stable door which opens directly into the spacious kitchen, wrapping round and a small step down into the living/dining room. Doors from here open onto the staircase, the reading room with shower room beyond, and a front door (not generally in use). Hard flooring runs throughout (quarry tiles in the kitchen, wood in the living/dining room and tiles in the reading room) with rugs to keep you snug.

Kitchen

A light and airy room with skylights has bags of room and character, particularly in the ornamental fireplace and unusual settle seat. The chef is sure to appreciate the Classic 90 Rangemaster with five-burner gas hob, electric fan oven, grill and griddle. All other necessary appliances are housed in the built-in cupboards; under counter fridge, three drawer freezer, dishwasher and washer dryer. There’s also a microwave, Lavazza coffee machine, kettle and four-slice toaster. If you have young children there’s a lovely large area where they can play.

Living/Dining Room

Warm and welcoming, this L shaped room has an extending circular table with six chairs so you can enjoy meals at home. The living area has two comfy sofas positioned so you can make the most of the warmth from the wood-burning stove and/or choose your favourite soap on the 40” Smart TV, also equipped with a DVD player. A beautifully carved blanket box sits between two carver chairs and the bookcases are well stocked with reading material and games.

Reading Room

Originally a bookshop, this wonderfully bright room is ideal for an extra guest with a full-sized day bed which can be made up for you; or simply as an additional room where you can sit with a good book! There’s a small chest of drawers and some coat hooks. Concertina blinds give privacy from the road and blackout curtains will stop the light bothering you.

Shower Room

Conveniently next to the bedroom so, effectively, an en suite, with large shower cubicle, WC, washbasin and clothes dryer hanging from the ceiling so you can dry any laundry you need to do whilst away. A window gives natural light and there’s a mirrored bathroom cabinet.

First Floor

A door opens onto carpeted stairs rising to the first floor where doors open to both bedrooms and the bathroom. There’s hard flooring with rugs and hooks at the bottom of the stairs for your coats.

Master Bedroom

Double aspect with view of the impressive church. You’re sure to sleep well in the wrought iron double bed which sits between retro bedside drawers and a pretty little table. There’s ample space in the built-in wardrobe for hanging your clothes and storing cases.

Twin Bedroom

An attractive fireplace is a key feature in this room where sturdy twin beds sit by the window with a little chest of drawers and rug between them. This wardrobe also has bags of space for unpacking.

Bathroom

Relax and unwind in the luxuriously deep slipper bath with hand shower for hair rinsing! There’s a petite washbasin with its own towel rail, WC and natural light.

Outside

There’s a gravel path with some shrubs running around two sides of the cottage and wrought iron fence dividing it from the pavement. A gate takes you into the courtyard with high wall giving you full privacy from passers-by and a safe place for children and dogs. There is a table and chairs with a parasol and BBQ to enjoy - perfect for dining alfresco.

Parking is available on the lay-by by the property, or alternatively in the pub car park opposite.

The beautiful market town of Framlingham is mentioned in the Domesday Book (1086) and has been known since Anglo Saxon times, when it consisted of several manors which William the Conqueror (1066-1087) presented to Roger Bigod. The town is of particular interest as it has a large castle and mere which was built between 1190 and 1210. The town is surrounded by lovely villages to explore and has two of the oldest working post boxes and one of Britain’s smallest houses, with the footprint measuring 6.1x2.2m! Today, the town offers a number of independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants and it is also home to Framlingham Summer Arts Festival.
