Hadleigh, one of the old wool towns, has a choice of pubs, shops and coffee shops and is just 3.7 miles away. The popular medieval village of Kersey (5.1 miles) and Lavenham (12 miles) are both well worth a visit and both have a choice of places to shop, eat and drink and keen golfers will enjoy a visit to Hintlesham Hall just 4.6 miles away.

The open plan lounge/kitchen/dining area is the perfect spot to relax and unwind after a busy day out exploring so why not fire up the wood burner and read a book, or even catch up on your favourite show on the Smart TV. The kitchen has an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge with ice compartment, dishwasher and a washer/dryer.

When you are ready for bed, the spacious bedroom is towards the back of the property and has a comfortable king size bed and an en suite shower room with a shower and WC.
