About this property
This charming home-from-home overlooking a historic market place is perfect for small families and couples hoping to discover Suffolk’s beautiful countryside. The welcoming two-bedroom cottage nestles in pretty Lavenham, one of the UK’s best-preserved medieval villages. Here, winding streets are lined with picturesque houses, independent shops and excellent eateries. Discover the National Trust’s Guildhall which offers family friendly exhibitions, the intriguing Little Hall Museum, and Lavenham’s 14th-century parish church. Uncover more Suffolk village charm with a visit to Long Melford (5 miles) where the imposing Melford Hall awaits with its 17th-century banqueting house, walled gardens and peaceful parkland. Find more local history in the market town of Bury St Edmunds (12 miles) where you can explore its impressive cathedral and beautiful Abbey Gardens. If the surrounding countryside doesn’t inspire you, then a day’s hiking across the Dedham Vale National Landscape (8 miles) certainly will.
Step into this welcoming cottage and find that the village’s historic charm continues inside, complemented by modern, homely comforts. Walk into the social heart of the home, the relaxing lounge/diner. Here, unwind on the sofas after days of adventure, watching your favourite films on the Smart TV. Flick on the flame-effect electric fire on chilly days, which sits in a pretty, ornamental fireplace. When stomachs begin to rumble, lay up the dinner table here and move through to the farmhouse-style kitchen. Find everything you need in this well-appointed space to whip up feasts for your loved ones, perhaps using the local Suffolk ingredients you sourced earlier in the day. When day turns to night, head up the cottage stairs and choose from two delightful bedrooms, a king-size and a double, both of which make use of the well-equipped family bathroom.
Outside, unwind in the peaceful, enclosed courtyard garden. Relax with your holiday read here, enjoy quiet morning coffees and plan al fresco evening meals long into the night. While there is no private parking, roadside parking is available around the property but is subject to availability.
