The space
Situated within the Suffolk Coasts and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Sudbourne is a popular village with a thriving community, a beautiful 14th-century church, and superb, scenic walks.

Neighbouring Orford (2 miles) is an especially delightful village set on the River Ore. It is home to the award-winning Pump Street Bakery, a superb village store with postal services, two public houses and the Butley Orford Oysterage.

The village is a popular centre for watersports and home to Orford Sailing Club, there are also playgrounds and football fields.

Within the stunning Suffolk Heritage Coast are an array of other attractive towns and villages. Snape (3.5 miles) is home to the internationally renowned concert hall at Snape Maltings. Aldeburgh (9 miles) famed for its close association with the composer Benjamin Britten offers a selection of independent shops, galleries and highly recommended restaurants.

This charming and cosy home is the perfect retreat from the busyness of everyday life. In keeping with this peaceful atmosphere, we’ve deliberately chosen not to have a TV—instead, we invite you to relax, explore nature, and enjoy the quiet surroundings.

But don’t worry—if you still want to stay connected, there’s excellent broadband throughout the house, so feel free to bring your laptops or tablets for entertainment, streaming, or work.

Whether you’re seeking a digital detox or just a change of pace, our home offers the ideal space to relax and recharge.

It also features a Jack and Jill bathroom shared between the king and single rooms, offering both comfort and convenience for families or small groups.

One of the highlights is the beautiful wrap-around garden, providing plenty of space to relax, play, or enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Inside, you’ll find a wood-burner stove that adds warmth and character to the living space, but please note that the other fireplaces are not functional. For safety reasons, no BBQs or candles be used during your stay.
