Ideally situated on the edge of the charming Suffolk village of Alderton, this large, rural home is a perfect antidote to the daily grind. The open-plan living area is ideal for celebrating and reminiscing with family members or friends. The garden provides a soundtrack of chirping birds to your meal times, while the plush sofas make for an excellent place to sink into after a day of rambling around the Suffolk heaths. When you need supplies, head out to the village shop – perfect for stocking up before a hike. In the evenings, walk yourself over to Alderton’s traditional country pub, perfect for savouring a pint or two of Suffolk's famous ale. Further afield, we recommend a trip to the seaside town of Felixstowe, where you can enjoy fish and chips on the pier.
