Craving a rural getaway that promises plenty of peace, relaxation and time spent in the great outdoors? Well, this cosy homestead surrounded by 15 acres of private parkland is just the ticket. With its sprawling green grounds and lush garden, it feels like something straight out of a landscape painting, and that easy-going country feeling continues inside. You'll immediately feel at home, thanks to the welcome hamper filled with fresh milk, a loaf of bread and jam from the local bakery. After a cup of tea on the terrace – you won't be able to get enough of those views – settle into your home-from-home. French doors create a bright and warm atmosphere in the open living area, while the wooden floors and lovely exposed beams only add to the home's rustic charm. Spend your days strolling along the grounds, admiring the Dedham Vale scenery, or visiting the quintessential Suffolk villages nearby – we recommend a trip to nearby Hall Farm, an award-winning farm shop and quaint cafe. In the evenings, enjoy sunset barbecues in the garden or unwind on the sumptuous sofas with a glass of wine.

You'll need a car in this area – the home has on-site parking on a gravel drive for multiple cars, so no need to carpool
There is a glass recycling grate by the dustbins, this occasionally gets filled up
The kitchen lacks some basic cooking utensils and crockery – we'd recommend bringing your own
