The space
The top room is a huge galleried living room giving spectacular views of the Suffolk coast & countryside. The accommodation below is cottage like, each room flooded with light from the corner windows overlooking the sea, the windmill opposite, the golf course next door, and the boating lake 5 minutes walk away. The house is decorated with art and objects collected by our family over the last 44 years. Some might describe it as eccentric in places, but we hope that people will enjoy our eclectic collection, in a luxurious and comfortable setting.
