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

Ideally located in the rolling Suffolk countryside, this elegant cottage nails a rural retreat. Surrounded by a landscaped courtyard and a private apple orchard. Pick to your heart's content and whip up apple-inspired dishes in the modern kitchen – there is plenty of space to unwind amongst nature. This 18th-century Georgian coachman’s cottage offers bucolic living but in the most refined way – underfloor heating, a power shower, and a log burner. After an afternoon walking the local trails with your dog in tow, sip a glass of locally-produced cider on the grounds.
