About this property

Character cottage next to idyllic country walks

This beautiful 17th century cottage is nestled within beautiful countryside in the historic village of Hoxne conservation area, and posesses a blend of character features & contemporary styling which make it an ideal place to relax & unwind.

This timber framed cottage has many original architectural features such as beamed ceilings, timbered walls, and an inglenook fireplace. It is equipped with a modern wood pellet stove (pellets provided FOC), gas central heating and hot water as well as a gas range stove for those who enjoy cooking. 

It is cosy in the winter and cool in the summer.

There is an entrance porch for coats, shoes and boots, which leads into a well-proportioned reception room and then to an initial kitchen, with steps down to a kitchen/diner and French doors opening onto the garden.

The south facing cottage garden is sunny and  private, a lovely spot to eat and relax surrounded by birdsong, and has a herb garden that guests are welcome to use.

The spacious bathroom and toilet are on the ground floor by the back door of the cottage, as are the two kitchen areas with dining table and seating for up to 6 people.

The traditional cottage stairs lead to the spacious bedroom with a king size bed and, if required, a fold-out cube bed. The room is timbered and has a shuttered window overlooking the garden. 

As is typical for a cottage of this age please be aware that the stairs are steep and winding, and also be mindful of the split level kitchen with steps down to the dining and reception rooms.

Cottage core and comfort

This is a very traditional cottage - think exposed beams, creaky floors and steep and twisty stairs- but one that has been thoughtfully modernised. Great shower, quality oven, well-equipped throughout we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The village of Hoxne is steeped in history, has several short circular walks nearby and is great for star gazing as there is little to no light pollution. The Swan just a few minutes walk from the cottage serves lovely food but booking probably a good idea at the weekend. The beach is just 50 minutes away; we enjoyed a surprise sunny day at Southwold. Anything missing? Only a teapot (we are from the north!) and phone signal but neither absence spoiled our stay.
