Description

Elegant Period Cottage in Orford

“Orford is one of the most attractive villages in Suffolk.” Condé Nast Traveller

Highlights:

• Expansive private English garden with lawns, roses, herbaceous borders and a summer house

• Light filled conservatory and characterful reception rooms centred around an inviting open fire

• Principal bedroom with picturesque outlooks across Orford towards the River Ore

Ferry Cottage is an elegant period home that combines traditional character with generous, light filled living spaces in the heart of Orford. Its inviting sitting room centres on an open fire, with comfortable seating, books and games creating a relaxed setting for quiet evenings. French doors open into a bright conservatory, where garden views bring the outdoors into focus throughout the seasons.

The dining room offers space for six and connects naturally to a well equipped country kitchen, complete with an additional breakfast table for four. Beyond, a practical utility room provides laundry facilities and direct garden access.

Upstairs, three individually arranged bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation. The principal bedroom features a king sized bed, fitted wardrobes and a dressing table, with beautiful outlooks across Orford and towards the River Ore. A double bedroom and twin bedroom complete the sleeping spaces, complemented by a refurbished shower room and a separate main bathroom.

One of the home’s defining features is its unusually generous private garden. Lawns, herbaceous borders and roses create a classic English setting, while a summer house, outdoor furniture and Weber barbecue encourage long afternoons outside. The fully fenced grounds also offer space for dogs to enjoy.

With off road parking for three cars, the cottage balances village character with everyday convenience. Orford Ness and its coastal landscape are accessible nearby, while the village offers local facilities and a traditional pub, making the home an appealing base for experiencing this distinctive corner of Suffolk, at an easy, unhurried village pace.
