This first-floor flat is within Parham Hall and both properties have been sympathetically restored and converted with a lot of thought and care. Its quiet location and wonderful gardens and views make this a perfect place for a couple’s retreat in Suffolk. Do as much or as little as you like. Starting on the doorstep, the Hall has extensive formal gardens and grounds to explore, including the quaint serpentine-walled kitchen garden. There are lots of nooks and crannies to be found. Be sure to bring your ‘whites’ as you can even use the owner’s all-weather tennis court in the grounds. Further afield, seek culture at Snape Maltings just 8 miles away or 3.5 miles in the opposite direction, brush up on the history of Framingham Castle and have a good mooch about the charming town. Parham Airfield Museum just a mile away, houses two different museums on a former WW2 USAF airfield. It’s only open restricted times between spring and autumn. Walking and cycling trails make exploring easy and the famous coastal town of Aldeburgh is just 14 miles east.
Guests access this unusual first-floor flat via an external metal spiral staircase. The living accommodation is all open-plan which works wonderfully in this light and airy apartment with high ceilings and lots of natural light. Comfortable seating means just that here with a sofa each! The dining table seats four, and fits perfectly in the corner, while the small galley. Light decor, wooden floors, tasteful fixtures and fittings make this a calming space to spend time, with wonderful views over the gardens. The king-size bedroom is spacious and has a grand feel to it at the same time as being a thoroughly calming and inviting space. The modern bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC.
This first-floor apartment benefits from its own private garden area with furniture for breakfasts or al fresco dinners. Guests are also welcome to use the main garden, laid out in various styles and parts.
