Property code: OC-S30055

The historic charm of this traditional Suffolk cottage pairs perfectly with the storybook allure of Lavenham, one of the UK’s most picturesque and well-preserved medieval villages. Ideal for couples, small families, and their canine companions, this lovely home comes complete with a safely enclosed patio garden and a cosy lounge with a flame-effect electric fire that Rover is sure to adore.

After a day of Suffolk adventures, retreat to the cottage’s cosy lounge. This welcoming space is perfect for both humans and hounds to relax – sink into the soft seating, turn on the Smart TV, and let the glow of the flame-effect electric fire set the mood for a quiet evening in. When it’s time to cook, the well-equipped kitchen provides everything you need to whip up a delicious meal. Enjoy your feast in the charming dining area just off the kitchen. When the day winds down, head upstairs to find two inviting bedrooms – a spacious king-size room and a cosy single. Both rooms share a gleaming shower room, ensuring comfort and convenience for your stay. Outside, the enclosed patio garden offers a quiet spot to start your morning with a cup of coffee or end the day with a relaxing meal in the fresh air. While there’s no private parking, on-street parking can be found around the cottage, subject to availability.

The cottage is ideally situated for leisurely strolls to Lavenham’s independent shops and dog-friendly cafes or the village’s 14th-century church. For even more scenic charm, venture to the nearby village of Long Melford (5 miles), where the grand Melford Hall awaits, along with its enchanting walled gardens and peaceful parkland, perfect for a walk with your furry friend. If you love exploring the outdoors, head to Dedham Vale National Landscape (8 miles), located on the Suffolk/Essex border, where scenic trails and local wildlife make for a great day out with your four-pawed pal.

Beautiful cottage ideally located next to the Guildhall in what must be one of the loveliest villages in the country. A delight for history (and Harry Potter) buffs with dozens of medieval buildings to admire and a gorgeous local walk in ancient woodlands. A comfortable and welcoming cottage thoughtfully set up.

We had a wonderful week long stay in the cottage. The best part by far is the location - right in the market square (although this does mean people walk right by the window and peer inside - so its not very private and we kept the blinds down all day!) A beautifully decorated and simple, comfy cottage. Perfect for a couple.

A very comfortable and relaxing quaint listed cottage situated in the heart of the village market place, but still very quiet and serene. It has everything that could be needed for living in full time for a week or a year. Plenty of local shops and dog friendly walks around the village and woods. 5* Highly recommend.
