Stone Cottage - Lavenham

About this property

The historic appeal of this traditional Suffolk cottage blends perfectly with the fairy-tale charm of Lavenham, one of the prettiest and best-preserved medieval villages in the UK. Perfect for couples or small families, guests here are perfectly placed to mooch through Lavenham’s inviting galleries, independent shops and welcoming eateries. Uncover the local history with a trip to the National Trust’s Guildhall (100 metres) where you can explore the Little Hall Museum and the village’s 14th century church. More delightful scenery awaits in the village of Long Melford (5 miles) with the impressive Melford Hall and its 17th-century banquet house, inspiring walled gardens and peaceful parkland. Hikers and fellow lovers of the outdoors should head to the Dedham Vale National Landscape (8 miles) on the Suffolk/Essex border with its stunning walking routes and varied local wildlife.

The cosy confines of the cottage’s lounge await as you step in from the heart of the village. Relax in this welcoming space after days of Suffolk adventure; unwind on the soft seating, flick on the Smart TV, and bask in the glow of the flame-effect electric fire that sits in an ornamental fireplace. When it’s time to eat, head on through to the kitchen and find a bespoke, modern space that is well equipped with all you need to whip up a Suffolk feast for your loved ones. Enjoy the chef’s work in the cute dining space that sits off the kitchen, or if the sun is shining, dine alfresco in the courtyard garden. When day turns to night, head upstairs to choose from two pretty bedrooms. These rooms include a king-size and a cosy single bedroom, both of which make use of the well-appointed shower room.

Outside, to the rear of the cottage, is a pretty, enclosed courtyard garden. Start each day with a quiet morning coffee here or enjoy al fresco meals long into the night using the bistro-style furniture. While private parking is unavailable, on-street parking surrounds the cottage, subject to availability.
