A new home built in keeping with traditional local architecture, this delightful timber cottage overlooks acres of farmland. Set on a quiet country road, it's replaced a former farm outbuilding and takes in uninterrupted views across the fields. Designed to be as roomy and modern inside as it is characterful outside, you'll have a bright, open home over two floors. With all-white walls and wood floors, there's a crisp, contemporary look to everything, with comfy, practical furnishings. A well-kitted-out kitchen is open-plan to the dining area and sofas, while two walls of floor-to-ceiling windows feature patio doors out to the covered terrace. And we love the large bedroom upstairs, with its pretty views and iron bed. Dog-friendly, you can head off for walkies each morning or jump in the car and drive to nearby Orford Ness or Aldeburgh. Walk or cycle to the heart of Orford in less than half an hour, take in a music event at Snape Maltings or cycle to the nearest pub for lunch – it's all within easy reach.

Local guide
About Aldeburgh
When the sun sets on Aldeburgh, the pastel-coloured houses that line the shore seem to glow and the pebbled beach takes on a rainbow hue. Here, the buildings come right up to the beach, so you just need to hop over the coastal wall to reach the sea. The seaside town was once home to Benjamin Britten, and it still retains its creative pull, with the Aldeburgh Festival of Music...
