The Pottage is a beautiful retreat in the heart of Suffolk, with wonderfully decorated accommodation, an airy and extensive open plan living area and a lovely courtyard garden. The cottage was completely renovated in 2019 by the artist owners and their sensibilities shine in every detail of the immaculate interior. A perfect getaway for families or couples alike, The Pottage is sure to charm the most discerning of visitors.
First built in the 1890s as a potting shed against the walled garden of the main house, the Pottage is a treat throughout. Inside, you will find light filled interiors, with wooden floors and white walls in a restrained palette that enhances the exuberant furnishings and glorious botanical artwork by the owner. The kitchen is both tastefully stark and brimming with every modern convenience, with extensive seating and views over the grounds and courtyard garden. The living room is both cosy and elegant, with a substantial wood burning stove providing ample warmth, a substantial wall hung smart TV and a judicious selection of books and games. The well appointed bedrooms both enjoy fine outlooks and quietly luxurious linens while the two large bathrooms complement each other decoratively.
Outside, the courtyard garden is festooned with wisteria, creating a private idyll, while the grounds in front of the cottage provide plenty of opportunity for wandering and play, or simply quiet contemplation in the summer house. Off road parking for two cars is available. Guests also have access to the extensive woodland walks around the property, along with the beautiful palatinate summerhouse.
