Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

It’s a scientific fact that plants are good for your health – so staying in a wildlife reserve with ten-acres of landscaped gardens (including a lake) will be just what the doctor ordered. Sip your morning coffee on the waterside patio and say hello to your neighbours – the kingfishers, the herons and even an otter too. The apartment is on the upper floor of a converted barn, and a huge picture window in the living room means you won’t miss the views of the stunning garden inside. There’s plenty to do in the area – Orford Ness National Nature Reserve and the beach at Shingle Street are just a short drive away. And further up the coast you’ll find the picturesque towns of Woodbridge and Aldeburgh, each home to several boutiques, cafes and restaurants (though Aldeburgh does the best fish and chips). This home really is a haven for wildlife or gardening fans, or anyone wanting some peace – just don’t forget to bring your binoculars.
