Just a moment’s walk from Laxfield’s famed village pub, this property offers a fantastic base for a restful Suffolk stay. Fill your days with walks, bike rides and endless sightseeing in this beautiful pocket of the East of England, exploring Framlingham (7.5 miles), Halesworth (9 miles) and all the rolling fields and verdant woodlands that surround them. One for a day trip, Framlingham is a sweet town filled with winding streets, a regular market and its hilltop castle – inspiration for Ed Sheeran’s hit song ‘Castle on the Hill’. Discover the Suffolk Coast National Landscape a short drive away, spending time birdwatching at rspb Minsmere, sunbathing and swimming on Dunwich Beach (both 14 miles) or enjoying traditional seaside fare in the appealing town of Southwold (17.5 miles). The latter is home to a marvellous pier and unique lighthouse feature, both well worth a tour.

This semi-detached property offers eclectic design features and quintessentially British décor set out over two floors. On the ground floor, a kitchen/diner acts as a sociable hub of the house, complete with a large farmhouse-style dining table that can host mealtimes and board game evenings in abundance and a TV. Next door, a versatile utility room is on hand for getting a jump start on that holiday washing and an additional WC may come in handy whilst you unwind downstairs. Continue through the property to the comfortable lounge, where cushy sofas, a wood burner and a Smart TV invite you to retire after a raucous evening of activity. Suitably exhausted, you can carry yourselves up onto the first floor to find two bedrooms. One is a king-size and the other is a super-king-size, both enjoying the use of a Smart TV and an en-suite bathroom.

Outside, two separate patio spaces encourage you to chase the sunshine throughout your time here. One is accessed through French doors in the kitchen and the other via the lounge. Both are equipped with seating options for alfresco afternoons and evenings. Free on road parking opposite the cottage (subject to availability).
