This elegant single-storey cottage in heart of the Suffolk countryside is an ideal place to escape the pressures of city living. Out in the private garden enclosed by a woven fence, you’ll find an outside table where you can enjoy an early breakfast to the sound of birds chirping away in the nearby woodland. The interior feels instantly bright and inviting, thanks to the walls painted in white and the furnishings in light neutrals. Oak floors and doors add to the rustic feel of the place, as does the living room’s wood burner, which you can curl up in front of while watching a film – take your pick from the extensive collection available in the library. We love the cosy feel here, courtesy of the comfy sofa and armchairs. You’ll love getting lost in the beautiful woodlands which surround the house – there are an impressive two and a half acres of it. When you’re ready to venture out further, you’ll find yourself around thirty-five minutes’ drive from Dunwich Beach and RSPB Minsmere. It’ll take you a similar amount of time to stroll over to the nearby village of Stradbroke, where you'll find a pair of charming country pubs.
