With its cosy living spaces, inviting bedrooms, lovely original features and thoughtful modern touches, 6 The Green offers a wonderful home-from-home for couples, families and friends. Whether you're curling up beside the log burner, enjoying a leisurely breakfast, exploring the countryside or visiting the nearby historic market town of Bury St Edmunds, you'll find plenty to make your stay special.
A little cottage charm, a peaceful setting and everything you need for a relaxing Suffolk getaway.
A warm and welcoming cottage
Step inside through the welcoming hallway and discover a cosy living room with comfortable sofas, inviting armchairs and a feature fireplace – the perfect spot to relax after a day exploring Suffolk. The adjoining dining area provides a lovely setting for leisurely breakfasts, family meals and cosy evenings together.
The spacious kitchen/breakfast room is fully equipped for everything from a quick morning coffee to a home-cooked feast. It features an Everhot range cooker with induction hob and an American-style fridge/freezer with ice maker.
There is also a separate utility area and a practical boot room with an additional shower room – ideal for freshening up after muddy countryside walks.
Comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms
The cottage comfortably accommodates up to 4 guests.
The generous ground-floor main bedroom features a king-size bed with a luxurious memory foam mattress, offering a peaceful night's sleep.
The large family bathroom is also on the ground floor, featuring a beautiful double-ended bath for a relaxing soak and a spacious walk-in shower.
There is also a separate additional shower room on the ground floor, complete with its own walk-in shower, conveniently located next to the practical boot room. This is particularly useful for guests returning from countryside walks or for families and groups getting ready at the same time.
A charming spiral staircase leads from the living room to a galleried landing with a dressing area and the upstairs twin bedroom. This bedroom has two single beds, which can be joined together to create a super king-size bed. Please request this arrangement at least 48 hours before arrival.
Enjoy the Suffolk countryside.
Surrounded by beautiful countryside, 6 The Green is ideally placed for walking, wildlife, nature and exploring the local area. There are lovely walks to enjoy straight from the cottage, while the historic market town of Bury St Edmunds is just a short drive away, offering independent shops, restaurants, cafés and plenty of history.
Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway, a family holiday, a countryside escape or somewhere comfortable to stay while attending a local wedding, the cottage makes a wonderful home-from-home.
The property has its own private driveway with parking for two cars.
