Located in the pretty village of Great Bealings, this romantic cottage is an idyllic nest for a couple seeking a peaceful getaway in the Suffolk countryside. Fill your days with rambles along the River Deben and experience village life in the number of local shops, pubs and walking routes right from the doorstep.
Kick off your walking boots and leave them in the entrance hall, which has plenty of room for coats, towels and dog leads. Tranquil tones and splashes of colour offer a cosy atmosphere, while a warming wood burner invites you to put your feet up and relax with your pup. The property has many traditional features including exposed wooden beams and a gable roof. Head through to the well-equipped kitchen/diner to cook up titbits for Rover. There’s plenty of space to fill the cupboards with tasty treats and everything you need to feed hungry guests. When it’s time to serve up, use the dining alcove as a haven for breaking bread and toasting to your holiday on the coast. A lovely sunroom provides a separate space to get cosy, or to play with the pooch. Say goodnight to your four-legged friend and climb the narrow cottage-style stairs to the first floor where a crisp double bedroom awaits. When it’s time to rise, stick the kettle on and let the dog out onto the enclosed garden at the front of the property.
With an array of walks from the doorstep, spend your days discovering picturesque views and sniffing out estuary routes with gorgeous wildlife. For water sports enthusiasts, paddleboarding, kayaking and canoeing are also available along the river. For a change of scenery, just 2 miles away from the home are the village of Marlesham and the town of Woodbridge, both with independent shops, and dog-friendly pubs. Or for a day of playing fetch on the beach, venture 19 miles east to the classic seaside resort of Aldeburgh, with a shingle beach to roam and award-winning fish and chips.
