A delightful single-storey conversion, which provides spacious accommodation for two. This beautifully-furnished accommodation is perfect for concerts at Snape Maltings (1 mile) and walks along the Alde estuary to the Suffolk coast. Tucked away in the tranquil setting of Snape, the cottage is close to all the attractions of Snape Maltings, a centre for fine dining, shopping, art and culture. The Snape Maltings Concert Hall offers a varied programme of music and dance throughout the year. The area is also fantastic for walking; you can either follow your leisurely itinerary or join a guided tour from Snape Maltings to explore the wildlife and historic landscape of the Alde valley. You can take a boat trip along the River Alde to Iken Church, located in an area that’s naturally rich in wildlife and a haven for wildfowl. The quiet country lanes and pathways offer a picturesque route for cyclists, and there are a variety of pubs and tearooms to break up your journey. The seaside town of Aldeburgh (5.4 miles) is home to several art galleries for viewing, collecting or inspiring, and there’s an excellent art shop in Woodbridge (11 miles), an Aladdin’s cave for art materials.
This historic property dates back to 1797 and was restored in 1937 by the UK’s most famous modern composer, Benjamin Britten. It now stands proudly as a holiday cottage, with accommodation set on one level. The property's history is reflected through its pamment flooring and flint walls, but it also has all of the mod cons needed for a relaxing holiday. The cosy countryside decor creates a welcoming atmosphere. The light and airy kitchen is a lovely space to cook, and the dining area is next to the window with views of the garden. The sitting room is the perfect place to relax and lose yourself in a good book, and the super-king-size bedroom with zip-and-link beds is decorated tastefully.
Outside, the property boasts an attractive lawned garden with a picnic bench, ideal for al fresco dining.
