About this property
This 15th-century cottage is brimming with character, nestled in the charming village of Debenham at the heart of the Suffolk countryside. Sleeping two guests, this endlessly cosy bolthole is perfect for couples looking for a romantic countryside getaway uncovering why the Suffolk countryside is so irresistible.
Step into the homely lounge to be transported to centuries past, with exposed beams and a charming inglenook fireplace setting the scene for the ultimate cosy night in. Cuddle up on the comfy sofa and share stories of the day's adventure with the crackles of the roaring wood burner in the background. As the evening draws in, head into the country cottage-style kitchen/diner to rustle up a tasty feast to enjoy seated around the rustic dining table or at tomorrow’s picnic. When you can’t resist the call of bedtime, ascend the winding cottage staircase to find the spacious double bedroom, which features a sumptuous four-poster double bed, high vaulted ceilings and more exposed beams which both call back to the cottage’s rich history and set a dreamily peaceful atmosphere. Soak up the last of the evening’s sunshine by dining alfresco with a glass of something chilled in the enclosed courtyard.
Debenham is a quintessential English village that offers a tranquil escape, where history, nature, and village charm harmoniously coexist. Take a walk through the area’s colourful past at Framlingham Castle (9 miles), a magnificent 12th-century fortress surrounded by parkland and a picturesque lake or peruse Framlingham’s excellent selection of independent shops and cafes. Keen outdoor enthusiasts can stroll through the 500-year-old Grade I-listed gardens at Helmingham Hall Gardens 4.5 miles away. Recreating a slice of Edwardian railway, jump aboard a traditional steam train at The Mid-Suffolk Light Railway 5 miles away before enjoying a slice of cake in the tearoom.
