Set within the tranquil Waveney Valley in Hoxne, Suffolk, The Pottage is a beautifully restored countryside retreat. Originally built in the 1890s as a potting shed adjoining the walled garden of the main house, the cottage was lovingly renovated in 2019 by its owners. With light-filled interiors, elegant design and peaceful surroundings, The Pottage is an idyllic escape for families or couples seeking a memorable Suffolk stay.
The spacious living area has been thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and gathering together, with inviting sofas and a wood-burning stove creating a cosy focal point during cooler evenings. A Smart TV, books, games and puzzles provide entertainment for leisurely afternoons and evenings indoors. The kitchen features modern conveniences, including an induction hob, electric oven, combi-microwave, dishwasher and American-style fridge freezer. A dining table with church pew seating makes it ideal for family breakfasts, relaxed lunches or long evenings spent together.
The private enclosed courtyard garden offers a quiet outdoor space with seating for four, ideal for dining outside or relaxing during your stay. Guests are also welcome to enjoy the surrounding grounds, with a short walk leading to the summerhouse overlooking the woodland. Beyond this, extensive woodland paths can be explored at your leisure throughout your stay.
Off-road parking for two cars is available for added convenience.
The Pottage has two comfortable bedrooms designed to suit both couples and families. The master bedroom features a super king-size bed, Smart TV and en-suite shower room with heated towel rail. The second bedroom includes a double bed and a full-size single bed, offering flexible sleeping arrangements. A family bathroom with a bath and shower over completes the accommodation.
Perfectly positioned in the peaceful village of Hoxne, The Pottage provides an excellent base for exploring the beauty of the Waveney Valley and wider Suffolk countryside.
