About this property
Wits End Cottage - Two Bedroom House, Sleeps 4
This beautiful Grade II-listed cottage is nestled in the quintessential Suffolk village of Ixworth, boasting a high street filled with delightful shops and just a short 100-metre walk from two traditional pubs. A brief journey of 7 miles brings you to the historic market town of Bury St Edmunds, where you can explore the impressive St Edmundsbury Cathedral, Abbey Gardens, and extensive Georgian architecture. The town also offers boutique shops, quaint cafes, and fine dining options. Nearby, Nowton Park (9 miles) features nearly 200 acres of woodland, parkland, ponds, and wildflower meadows, perfect for nature walks and family outings. Further afield, the National Trust's Ickworth Estate (12.5 miles) invites visitors to admire its Italianate Palace, gardens, and scenic parkland – a perfect picnic spot. Don't miss the medieval village of Lavenham (17 miles), renowned for its timber-framed buildings, narrow lanes, and excellent pubs, offering a delightful blend of history and charm.
Step into this thoughtfully renovated and delightful cottage, where every detail has been carefully curated for an elevated experience. The cottage elegantly blends original beams with modern luxuries. Upon entering, step up into the bright and airy living room. Here, you can sink into one of the two comfortable sofas to watch a film on the Smart TV, listen to music, or lose yourself in a good book. The state-of-the-art kitchen is modern and well-equipped, inviting you to craft culinary delights with fresh local produce. Move effortlessly from the kitchen back to the lounge, where the dining area awaits – perfect for shared meals. When it’s time to rest, climb the stairs to find two charming bedrooms: one featuring a king-size bed, and the other a comfortable double room. This level also hosts the family bathroom, equipped with a shower over the bath.
Head outside to the fully enclosed garden filled with vibrant flowers, the perfect spot for soaking up the sun. Enjoy dining alfresco with the convenience of a charcoal BBQ.
