A sleek country property set in a blissfully rural location on the banks of River Deben. This romantic bolthole is the perfect escape for a couple of nature enthusiasts and their furry companion. Discover the small-town charm of Framlingham (4.5 miles) to sample fresh bakes, peruse eclectic boutiques, and admire the ancient architecture. Grab a bottle of fizz and while away summer evenings snuggled in the idyllic bell tent overlooking the flower meadow. The space This chocolate box cottage beautifully blends traditional features and contemporary styling. Picture exposed beams, crisp neutrals, and plush fabrics. Crunch along the gravel pathway and ease out of muddy boots at the leafy property entrance. Be lulled into the cosy lounge by the crackling wood burner then sink on the high back armchairs with a pre-dinner drink. Browse the Smart TV or pour over local guidebooks and plan out your trip. Crack open a chilled bottle of wine and feast at the intimate table while your snoozy dog stretches his paws by the fire. Stepping into the kitchen, brew a couple of teas and raid the bright shaker cabinets for a sweet treat. Retreat to the tranquillity of the king room with crisp linens and powder pink tones. Take advantage of the serene outdoor space and lounge on the seats beneath the wooden pergola, get sizzling on the BBQ, or embark on a morning saunter along the river banks. Peruse the wonderfully imposing ruins of Framlingham Castle (5 miles) and drink in far-reaching views during the curtain wall walk. Swirl local grape blends and saunter the leafy grounds of Shawsgate Vineyard (6 miles) or sample some local smoked fish on the shorefront of sleepy Aldeburgh (15 miles).
