Situated in the picturesque village of Yoxford, Suffolk, this charming cottage offers a peaceful retreat for couples seeking an escape from everyday life. Located conveniently off the A12, it is equidistant from the coastal towns of Aldeburgh and Southwold, and just a short drive from the stunning beaches of Dunwich and Walberswick. The cottage serves as an ideal base for exploring the Suffolk Heritage coastline, characterized by its low marshes and reed beds, and is in close proximity to various RSPB nature reserves where visitors can observe a rich diversity of wildlife, including avocets, bitterns, and marsh harriers, alongside beautiful butterflies and wildflowers.
School Cottage, nearly two centuries old, is discreetly positioned away from the main road, accessible via a narrow driveway or a short pedestrian path beside Main’s Restaurant. The interior features a compact and well-equipped kitchen/dining area that leads to a cozy sitting room, complete with soft furnishings and a multi-fuel wood burner. For entertainment, guests can enjoy a flat-screen TV with Freeview, a DVD player, and BT WiFi. The staircase leads to the first floor, where two bedrooms are located, making it a comfortable space for a couple, though it can accommodate an additional guest upon request.
The main bedroom boasts a king-size bed with views of the front garden, while the smaller bedroom is primarily used as a dressing room but can be converted into a sleeping area for an older child or young adult with a fold-out bed. The shower room, conveniently located between the two bedrooms, features a large walk-in shower, toilet, and wash-hand basin. The cottage is designed with comfort in mind, including high-quality bedding and modern amenities to ensure a pleasant stay.
Outside, the cottage garden provides a lovely decking area with furniture for al fresco dining, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere of this countryside retreat. Parking is available off-road, although the narrow approach may be challenging, making street parking a more practical option. The surrounding area offers a wealth of activities, from exploring local landmarks like Leiston Abbey to enjoying outdoor adventures such as hiking, cycling, fishing, and swimming, ensuring a fulfilling experience for guests seeking both relaxation and exploration in the beautiful East of England.
