Location
White Cottage is situated in the rural village of Sweffling.  The village has a terrific community feel with events taking place at the village hall and also at the award winning pub, The White Horse.  Sweffling is situated amidst gently undulating countryside around the upper reaches of the River Alde.  The historic market town of Framlingham lies within 5 miles and has excellent schools in both the state and private sectors, as well as good day-to-day shopping facilities.  The town is best known for its fine medieval castle.  Saxmundham lies about 4 miles to the east.  Here there are Waitrose and Tesco supermarkets and a railway station with trains to Ipswich and, in turn, London’s Liverpool Street station, which take just over the hour.  The Heritage Coast at Aldeburgh lies some 9 miles away, with Dunwich and the Minsmere Bird Reserve being about 12 miles to the east.

Directions
From Framlingham, proceed out of the town on Saxmundham Road (B1119).  Proceed into the village of Sweffling, turning right opposite The Sweffling White Horse and continue down into the village where the cottage will be found on the right hand side.

Description
White Cottage is of timber-framed and brick construction with rendered and whitewashed elevations under a pitch tiled roof.  The property is believed to date from the early 19th Century.  White Cottage has undergone a schedule of renovation by the previous owners and makes an ideal holiday home being very much suited as a “lock and leave” with its low maintenance courtyard garden.
