About this property

Wickham Market 2.9 miles. Duke Cottage is a charming Victorian retreat situated within the grounds of Easton Farm Park, near the picturesque Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape. With off-road parking, free entry to the farm park and welcoming two well-behaved dogs, this delightful abode is perfect for families or friends seeking a countryside escape near Wickham Market. Step inside to find a well-equipped kitchen with cool tiled flooring underfoot—ideal for preparing everything from picnic lunches to hearty evening meals. Pictures on the walls lend a homely feel, while the flow leads naturally into the dining room, where a wooden table and chairs invite you to gather, share stories, and spread out maps to plan the day’s adventures.

The sitting room offers a relaxed space to unwind, with wooden flooring, two leather sofas, and artwork that reflects the character of the cottage. Whether you're curling up with a book or enjoying a film, it's a place to pause and recharge. All three bedrooms are carpeted, offering comfort and warmth. Two king-size rooms provide a peaceful retreat, while the third—a family room with twin beds and two pull-out beds—features exposed wooden beams that hint at the cottage’s heritage. A family bathroom with a bath, shower over, basin and WC serves the sleeping quarters, while two ground-floor cloakrooms with basins and WCs add convenience for busy mornings.

Step outside into the shared garden, where the barbecue crackles and the furniture invites you to relax. Set within Easton Farm Park, the cottage offers a front-row seat to farm life—children can roam freely, while adults soak in the sights and sounds of grazing animals, cheerful visitors, and Suffolk’s serene countryside. As the sun dips low, the scent of grilled food mingles with the fresh country air, and the gentle hum of the farm becomes the soundtrack to your evening. Duke Cottage isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place to experience, where the rhythms of rural life unfold just beyond your doorstep.
