1 Bedroom Cottage in Bramfield

Whisk your special someone away to this charming barn conversion sitting on a complex of holiday cottages on the outskirts of the peaceful village of Bramfield – just 3 miles from the market town of Halesworth. Sleeping two people in one bedroom, it’s perfect for couples who are in search of a romantic rural hideaway to call home while they explore the Suffolk coast together. Set off for the dunes and beach at Walberswick (9 miles), or browse the independent shops of Southwold (11.5 miles) before you stroll along its historic pier. Nature lovers will be in their element at RSPB Minsmere (8.5 miles), where you can spot avocets and bearded tits from the hides. Inland, wander around the weekly market and galleries in Saxmundham (7.5 miles), or catch a concert at Snape Maltings (11 miles), which is set beside the marshes of the River Alde.

Step inside and you’ll find a bright, open-plan living space, where a vaulted ceiling and original timber framing give the barn bags of character. The compact kitchen has everything you need to rustle up a romantic supper to share at the dining table, which is bathed in natural light from the tall glazed doors. Afterwards, sink into the sofa beside the crackling wood burner to catch up on your favourite shows on the Smart TV. When it’s time to turn in, retire to the restful double bedroom, which is framed by more exposed beams. An en-suite shower room completes the layout.

Step through the patio doors and you’ll find your own furnished seating area – the perfect spot for a morning coffee or a glass of something fizzy as the sun goes down. A neighbouring patio offers more shared outdoor seating, while the on-site tennis court is there whenever you fancy a game. Private parking is available.
