Located in Woodbridge, Suffolk, the Butley Abbey Farmhouse is a stunning Georgian property designed to accommodate larger groups, with a capacity to sleep up to 12 guests. This elegant farmhouse is situated near the Suffolk Coast & Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking both relaxation and adventure. The residence boasts six uniquely decorated bedrooms, each equipped with its own bath or shower room, ensuring comfort and privacy for all guests. The interiors are characterized by spacious, beautifully maintained rooms that blend luxurious furnishings with a warm, inviting atmosphere, all while overlooking expansive gardens, a tennis court, and serene woodlands.
The ground floor of the farmhouse is a hub for entertainment and socializing, featuring a fully-equipped kitchen, a drawing room, a sitting room, and a dining room that can accommodate all guests. Additional spaces such as a breakfast room, utility room, and laundry room have been thoughtfully designed to enhance the overall experience, offering ample seating and areas for relaxation. The property’s aesthetic successfully marries its historic charm with contemporary design, creating an appealing environment for both younger and older generations to enjoy together.
Access to the upper floor is provided by a central stairway, where guests will find the six thoughtfully decorated bedrooms. Each room offers its own unique style and comfort, with the convenience of private or shared bathroom facilities. The farmhouse encourages guests to enjoy the outdoors with its extensive grounds, featuring a patio with a barbecue area, a vast lawn, and a croquet lawn, alongside picturesque woods that include a tranquil lake. The property not only provides ample on-site activities but also serves as a gateway to nearby attractions, including walking and cycling routes to Butley and Orford, as well as access to the charming town of Woodbridge, known for its dining and shopping options.
In addition to Butley Abbey Farmhouse, guests have the option to book two other properties on the Priory grounds: Butley Priory Cottage, which accommodates four guests, and Butley Priory, which sleeps 11. For even larger gatherings, the farmhouse can be expanded to sleep 24 by opening an additional second floor with six more bedrooms. Guests should be aware of a refundable £1000 security deposit required for bookings, and up to two well-behaved dogs are welcome for an additional charge. Amenities include access to the South Garden, a thatched summer house, and a tennis court, while safety measures such as supervision near the large pond and restrictions on lighting upstairs fires are in place to ensure a safe and enjoyable stay.
