With its views over the Suffolk countryside and sumptuous interior design, this renovated former schoolhouse in Dunwich is true rural luxury. The green and grey tones create an aura of calm, while the French doors in the living area allow the outdoors to flow inside seamlessly. The main bedroom is a particular highlight, with a whole wall made of glass – treat yourself to breakfast in bed as you look out across the marshes. A short wander will bring you to Dunwich Beach, where you can sit on the shingle with some fish and chips and watch boats bobbing in the waves. Walkers and cyclists can explore the Suffolk Heaths, and nature lovers will enjoy spotting the local wildlife – don’t forget your binoculars. At the end of a wonderful day, pick between the two living areas and snuggle up with a book, or fire up the barbecue and enjoy cooking and eating outdoors with the whole family.
