Description
(Reference number: 442631)
Deep within the Suffolk Heaths Area of Natural Beauty, this barn turned cottage sits on the outskirts of Orford village. This puts the raw beauty of the Heaths in one direction, and the bakeries, shops and pubs of Orford a five-minute walk away in the other. From here you can access the River Alde and the wildlife-filled marshes of Orford Ness nature reserve. There’s something Viking-like about the exterior of the old barn, in darkwood cladding. And indeed, this site has ties with the Vikings and Roman, with records as far back as the 14th century mentioning the barn. Inside you’ll find a modern haven with charming touches. The open-plan kitchen, living and dining room is a cosy yet sociable spot where the country-style kitchen has everything you need for self-catering. Throw open the French doors and let in the country air. Just outside there’s a private patio and walled garden for evening drinks or meals outside. If you want to practice your serve, your hosts can arrange access to the private tennis court at their sister home, a two-minute walk away.
Home truths:
*Your host can provide a cot, high chair and baby bath for infants, just ask
*Three lively terriers live at the main house (along with your hosts) and, although the barn is separate, you may see them in the shared garden
*All the bedrooms and bathrooms are on the first floor so this place may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
*The kitchen is lacking some basic crockery and cooking utensils, so it might not be the best choice if you're planning family meals in
*The home does not have a home manual – please ask your host if you have any appliance or home-related questions
