About this property

Charming Grade II listed cottage in the heart of the Suffolk countryside

Situated in the quiet, picturesque village of Great Finborough, this beautifully restored characterful property offers modern living whilst retaining its original charm. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms (one ensuite), Chestnut Cottage offers a cosy getaway with period features, including an inglenook fireplace with wood burner, accommodation for up to five guests and off-street parking for two vehicles. The small, walled garden, provides a secluded outdoor dining space, with patio table & chairs and gas grill, and also features the Garden Room offering a tranquil space to relax and unwind.

Situated at the heart of the village, close to the Chestnut Horse Pub and adjacent to Stowmarket Golf Club, the property is 2.5 miles west of Stowmarket. Here all essential amenities can be found together with national rail services direct to London, Norwich & Cambridge. With easy access from the A14, the cottage provides a central location for exploring the stunning heritage coastline of Suffolk, featuring Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty; historic market towns, grand estates and quaint rural villages as well as the cultural centres of Sutton Hoo, Dedham Vale and the world-famous Snape Maltings concert hall

To note: In keeping with the age of the property, there are some low ceilings and the narrow staircase may be better suited to more mobile guests and those with older children.

A charming village cottage.
We had a lovely time staying at this Suffolk cottage. The property was clean, newly renovated and full of character. We had great fun playing all the board games, visiting local attractions and exploring the public footpaths. A gem of a place!

Beautiful old cottage
Mike went above and beyond to show us his house during the check in. Food and wine was left for us which really came in handy for breakfast the following morning. Historical home that we’d never find back in Australia. All the family were happy

This charming cottage, which included clever and beautiful renovations, surpassed our expectations based on the online photos. Our host, Mike, was very gracious and his communication before, during, and after our time was wonderful. Great Finborough was a delightful town and we enjoyed its folks and access to the coastal towns we wanted to visit on day trips. Thank you, Mike!
