This stylish first-floor apartment has a truly welcoming ambience and makes the ideal escape for a couple or small family. It’s centrally located within the popular village of Orford, a historical gem and foodie destination. Within just a few metres you can stroll through streets of pretty cottages to reach two excellent pubs, a smokery, a renowned bakery, a chocolate shop and the village stores. Both the remains of 12th century Orford Castle and the scenic Orford Quay are less than 0.5 miles, the latter a departure point for leisure boat trips, National Trust trips to the atmospheric Orford Ness Nature Reserve (seasonal, and booking required), and rspb trips to Havergate Island. From Orford, it’s easy to get to many of Suffolk’s most delightful spots, including Aldeburgh, 11 miles, Woodbridge, 12 miles, and Southwold, 24.5 miles.

From your front door, take the stairs up to find the charming lounge/diner, where the comfortable seating is upholstered in vibrant colours and an entire wall is filled with books. Bright cushions and a patterned rug help to make this space feel homely, and when you sink into the sofa you can immerse yourself in a novel or switch on the Smart TV for a favourite movie. There’s plenty of room for four people at the dining table − perfect for a leisurely meal, perusing a map of local destinations or a game of cards. Around the corner, the compact kitchen includes a deep ceramic sink and that all-important coffee-pod machine. Also on this floor is a spacious shower room, which, again, is filled with colour, textures and patterns for a delightful feel. Head up to the second floor, the space is home to two bedrooms with characterful low, sloping ceilings and large skylights. The double bedroom features a beautiful wooden sleigh bed that faces the skylight for a gorgeous view. A lovely spot for a lie-in. The twin room is just as pretty, and both have eclectic furnishings and artwork on the walls. On this level, you’ll also find a superb bathroom with a free-standing bathtub positioned so you can look out at the sky as you soak.

The outside space at this property consists of a small garden at the front where you can perch on the bench and watch the world go by. You’ll have private parking for one car.
