Putts Cottage, a charming 17th-century mid-terraced farm workers' cottage, is nestled at the end of a secluded cart-track in Hickbush, Sudbury, Suffolk. This picturesque location, overlooking the serene river Stour and surrounded by fields and a nature reserve, offers a peaceful retreat for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The cottage is part of a small cluster of homes and is accessible via a private unmade road, enhancing the sense of seclusion and tranquility. With its inviting atmosphere and proximity to beautiful walking paths, Putts Cottage is an ideal destination for walkers, cyclists, and dog lovers alike, welcoming up to two well-behaved dogs for an additional fee.
Upon entering Putts Cottage, guests are greeted by a cozy sitting room featuring exposed beams, a traditional brick fireplace with a log burner, and a charming brick floor. The layout includes an archway leading to the kitchen-dining room, equipped with essential amenities, and a staircase that ascends to two double bedrooms and a Victorian-style bathroom. The cottage is designed for adults and does not accommodate infants or children under 16 years old, ensuring a peaceful environment for all guests. The owners extend a warm welcome to visitors with a generous breakfast basket, setting the tone for a delightful stay.
The outdoor space of Putts Cottage is equally enchanting, with a lovely grassed garden offering a cozy seating area that overlooks the scenic valley and surrounding woods. The garden serves as a perfect spot for enjoying snacks or drinks while taking in the natural beauty of the area. Nearby footpaths provide access to the Stour Valley and Pilgrims Way, inviting guests to explore enchanting walks down to the river or into the nature reserves. While the garden is not enclosed, guests are reminded to keep their pets close due to the open fields nearby, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Located just a 12-minute drive from Sudbury, guests can easily access a variety of shops, restaurants, and local attractions, including the Gainsborough House Museum and the Quay Theatre. The surrounding Stour River Valley, steeped in history and immortalized by artists like John Constable, offers opportunities for gentle rowing and picnicking along the riverbanks. The cottage's proximity to the Pilgrims Way, which traces the path of St Edmund the Martyr, adds a cultural dimension to the experience. With its stunning natural beauty and rich history, Putts Cottage in the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is a perfect getaway for those seeking relaxation and adventure in equal measure.
