A really beautiful 2-bedroom house, in one of the must-visit villages on the Suffolk Heritage coast
Space & setting.
Family memories have been forged in this house for decades. The owner’s grandparents moved here in the 1950s to set up the now much-esteemed Pinney’s of Orford and the Butley Orford Oysterage in the village, which are still both family-run today. And after a sensitive renovation, the grandparents’ house is now a modern, Scandi-chic sanctuary from which guests can explore the glorious coast and rivers of the Suffolk coastline. Riverbank walks start over the road, while the village square and photogenic harbour are just a few minutes’ away on foot. Further afield, beach combing, sand-dune picnics, forest walks and kayaking adventures beckon.
Crisp sharp lines, pale woods and beautiful, muted colours define the airy interiors: guests in the master suite have a view of the river and can watch the flowing waters and resident wildlife from bed. There’s a second bedroom downstairs, a house next door for 2 extra guests, and a wonderful open-plan living space that spills out onto the deck and garden. Best of all, it’s been thoughtfully equipped with everything you could need for a Suffolk stay, from cookcooks to board games, umbrellas to a Smart TV — plus a generous welcome hamper will whet your appetite for the local flavours the village is famed for.
