Situated on the historic grounds of Sudbourne Park, this impressive home is a perfect example of how to blend history with modernity. This home’s stone-walled garden and beamed ceilings give a nod to its location’s storied setting, whilst glass walls and sleek furnishings make this home feel indulgently contemporary. This home is a charmingly cool base from which to explore Orford and the Suffolk Coast. This country retreat offers Scandi interiors that make the place feel like an effortlessly calm space to unwind in. We love the glass walls that bring floods of light into the open-concept living area, where you’ll find plenty of plush seating options to spend sociable nights with your loved ones. Taking its inspiration from a Victorian glasshouse, the sunroom is an idyllic spot for adults to turn pages of a good book in the tempered sun, while the kids make use of the walled garden. The sleek kitchen is the keen cook’s oasis – prepare those recipes you’ve been saving up and enjoy your culinary efforts all together around the elegant dining table. And when it’s time to explore, you’ll be in a historic town on the Orford, where you can grab a pastry, take a riverside... walk and then return for a gastro pub dinner. Or, head to Orford Ness National Nature Reserve where you can explore this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to its fullest.
