This unique home doubles up as a gallery, and all the photography you can see on display is for sale. The space is open plan, unfolding over two floors. The high ceilings, wood rafters and floorboards create a rustic feel, paired elegantly with minimal Scandinavian-style furnishings. Though this hall is spacious, it’s kept cosy by two wood-burning stoves. For extra warmth, snuggle up with your significant other beneath sheepskin throws. This home has a regal quality and being less than two hours from London, its perfect for a romantic getaway. Or bring an extra two friends to stay in the shepherd’s hut. Chat freely by flickering candlelight as you enjoy a dinner cooked for you by a local caterer. In the fridge, you will find the best the UK countryside has to offer with local organic eggs, bacon and milk along with homemade bread. Make sure to make the most of the secluded location, wander the rose garden or take a plunge into the swimming pond. If you want to venture further, we recommend the short drive to the coastal town, Aldeburgh.

About Suffolk
Seaside towns with pastel Victorian villas, a rambling coastline with clifftop walks, and undulating countryside studded with stately homes is what Suffolk is all about. In Southwold, a Victorian pier juts out into the sea and the smell of fresh fish and chips floats on the sea air.
