Description
Situated within this vibrant village community, Cloudberry Cottage is an enchanting, detached home, believed to date from the 16th century. Of traditional timber-frame construction, the cottage is colour-washed in a charming Suffolk pink (Porter Pink by Claybrook Studio) beneath a thatched roofline, with the ridge thoughtfully renewed in March 2026. The property has been a Guest Favourite Air B&B/successful holiday let over the last two years.
The setting is as appealing as the house itself; the village shop lies within an easy stroll, while a wealth of picturesque country walks unfold on the doorstep. Suffolk’s striking coastline is also within comfortable reach, as is Ipswich station, offering direct services to London Liverpool Street in approximately one hour and sixteen minutes.
The property has been beautifully renovated, sensitively marrying its original character with a refined palette and an abundance of natural light. Arranged over two floors, the accommodation extends to approximately 600 sq ft, creating a home that feels both intimate and effortlessly considered.
From the porch, a stable door opens into a bright and airy sitting room, rich in original character. Attractive wooden floorboards, complemented by exposed beams overhead, while a fireplace—home to a working stove—forms a warm and inviting focal point.
The kitchen is thoughtfully arranged with cabinetry painted in Farrow & Ball’s London Clay, set against granite worktops and a tiled splashback. A charming window rests above the sink, drawing in natural light, while the ceiling beams have been softly painted in a neutral white, enhancing the sense of space and calm.
Beyond lies the ground-floor bathroom, where a freestanding roll-top bath is elegantly framed by tongue-and-groove panelling that lines the walls, creating a space of quiet comfort.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is both spacious and well considered, offering ample storage and defined by painted floorboards and further characterful beams. The second bedroom, currently fitted with a bespoke double bed, lends itself equally well as a study or guest room, offering flexibility to suit a variety of needs.
