3 Bed Cottage in Letheringham

About this property

This charming period property is ideal for a couples retreat, small family or group of friends. Located in Letheringham on the River Deben, it is a real countryside escape. Quiet country lanes and footpaths make it a wonderful place for both cycling and walking; many of the footpaths run alongside the water. Wickham Market is just 3 miles away and offers a good range of shops and restaurants. Framlingham (4.5 miles) makes a lovely day out. Wander up to the 12th-century castle on the hill (the inspiration for former resident Ed Sheeran’s famous song) to admire the fantastic views across the town. Woodbridge (7.5 miles away) has a fascinating shipbuilding and ropemaking history which is explained in the local museum. It also has a close association with Sutton Hoo, one of the most important Anglo-Saxon burial sites in the UK. For a coastal treat, visit the seaside town of Aldeburgh, 15 miles away.

The characterful cottage with an annexe is set on a quiet country lane with a pretty front garden and lovely period features. The living room features exposed wooden beams and a redbrick fireplace with a wood burner. Comfortable sofas are gathered around the fireplace and Smart TV, making the room ideal for cosy evenings. In the annexe, you’ll find a snug with a Smart TV, seating, and a wood burner. The property’s light-filled country kitchen incorporates a dining area and a back door that leads out to the rear patio and gardens. There is also a kitchenette/utility room in the annexe, along with a king-size bedroom. The property is served by a ground-floor shower room, plus a bathroom in the annexe. Upstairs boasts two ample bedrooms – a king-size room and a twin. Access to the twin room is via the master bedroom.

A bistro table and chairs are provided for al fresco dining, and around the corner is further outdoor seating. Beyond this, a long lawn leads down to the banks of the river.
