Sudbourne, Woodbridge

THE PROPERTY A beautifully presented period home combining traditional charm with modern comfort. Set in the heart of Sudbourne, the cottage offers surprisingly generous accommodation, including a wonderful garden room, cosy sitting room with woodburner, and two first-floor bathrooms.

A part-glazed entrance door opens directly into the garden room, a bright, welcoming space with glazing to two sides and French doors opening onto the patio; ideal for morning coffee, reading or relaxed dining throughout the year.

From here, an opening leads into the cottage kitchen, fitted with shaker-style cabinetry, wooden worktops and attractive tiling. The kitchen also has space for a small dining table or study area, and the staircase rises from this room to the first floor.

The sitting room lies beyond; a comfortable, characterful space featuring a woodburner set into a brick fireplace, ledge and brace doors and louvre shutter blinds.

Upstairs, the cottage provides two bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with its own ensuite bath room. A further family bathroom is also located on the first floor. Sloped ceilings and exposed timbers give the upstairs rooms a warm, cottage feel.

Outside, the rear garden is low-maintenance and enclosed, with a gravelled area, raised beds and a patio directly outside the garden room. A short walk across the shingle driveway leads to the cartlodge providing covered parking, along with additional gravel parking space. 

THE LOCATION Sudbourne is a quiet, attractive village in an enviable position close to some of the most desirable locations in the Suffolk coastal region. Orford, with its castle, bakery, deli, pubs and riverside walks, is just moments away. Snape Maltings; famous for its concert hall, galleries, shops and eateries; is also within easy reach.

The Heritage Coast at Aldeburgh, Orford Ness and the nature reserves of RSPB Minsmere offer outstanding walking, birdwatching and outdoor leisure. Nearby Woodbridge provides a wider range of amenities, independent shops and rail links to Ipswich and London Liverpool Street.
