Set on the Norfolk/Suffolk border, the vibrant market town of Beccles is not only a charming destination in its own right but is also the gateway to the breathtaking waterways of the Broads National Park. Once a servant’s quarters, this yellow-brick cottage for two now provides a contemporary and comfortable retreat within the grounds of a stately home. Step inside, and you’ll be greeted by a bright open-plan living space. The lounge area invites you to sink into the plush sofa and armchair, while the sleek kitchen is well-equipped for rustling up anything from a lazy breakfast to a celebratory meal. A breakfast bar and dining table provide plenty of space for relaxed dining. The double bedroom is a true sanctuary, with glorious views over paddocks and countryside that greet you each morning. French doors open directly onto the patio, letting in plenty of natural light and allowing you to step straight into the fresh country air. The elegant shower room offers a stylish space to refresh and recharge at the end of the day. Outside, the fully enclosed private garden is ideal for both two- and four-legged guests to enjoy. Beautifully planted beds and borders add to the tranquil setting, while a shingled seating area with garden furniture and a charcoal BBQ provides the perfect spot for al fresco dining while you watch the horses in the fields. Off-road parking for two cars is available.

Nature lovers can take to the River Waveney with day boat hire or on a guided tour, while active visitors might prefer the scenic Beccles Marsh Trail or one of the many picturesque countryside walks. The coast is within easy reach, with Lowestoft (10 miles), Southwold (14 miles), and Aldeburgh (24 miles), all offering traditional seaside charm, from golden beaches to quaint fishing villages. For a change of pace, the historic city of Norwich (20 miles) is packed with theatres, cultural attractions, fantastic shopping, and an exciting food scene.
