About this property
Escape to the serene village of Rumburgh with friends or family and stay at this characterful country cottage. Boasting rustic charm by the bucket load, the property comes complete with a private cottage garden and wildlife pond.
Upon entering, a quaint glass porch welcomes you with two strategically placed armchairs to enjoy the garden view. A practical boot room follows, providing ample space for muddy wellies. The country-style kitchen is fully equipped for your self-catering needs, and the generous dining room features a large wooden dining table and chairs. Continuing through this ancient house, you'll reach the cosy lounge with Chesterfield-style sofas, an original inglenook fireplace with a wood burner, and a Smart TV. Two staircases lead you to the bedrooms, with the first accessed from the dining room, winding its way to a small landing which connects to the master super-king-size bedroom, and the twin bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. A door opens to another landing, providing access to a shared family bathroom with a roll-top bath, along with a delightful double bedroom. A second staircase leads back down into the hall. The gardens at the front of the property are predominantly laid to lawn, offering views over adjacent fields. An open pond attracts a variety of wildlife to the garden, and there's a convenient storage shed for bikes, along with a covered stable.
Despite its size, the village provides a lot, including a nearby vineyard and an excellent network of public footpaths through the picturesque countryside. Just 6 miles away, Bungay boasts an award-winning dairy farm where you can purchase fresh milk, cheese, and bread—a delicious must-visit during your stay. Heading towards the coast, Halesworth (4 miles) offers a charming high street with boutique shops, a deli, pubs, and a food store. The popular coastal town of Southwold is easily accessible (12 miles), inviting you to enjoy sandy shores, a seaside picnic, a refreshing dip in the sea, and amusements on the pier.
