Property Description
This charming, secluded Grade II listed detached cottage has exclusive use of an outdoor swimming-pool and sauna and is set in 3½ acres of its own grounds. One acre has been set aside as a wildflower meadow. Kiers Cottage is a classic example of a late-Tudor, timber-framed hall house, built around a central chimney. The holiday cottage, which recently celebrated its four-hundredth birthday, is at the end of a two hundred-metre drive and is completely surrounded by farmland. The Suffolk Heritage Coast is within easy reach, along with the market town of Beccles (3½ miles) and the seaside resorts of Lowestoft, Southwold, Walberswick and Aldeburgh. Birdwatchers will doubtless head for the RSPB sanctuary at Minsmere, while closer at hand is the lesser-known Benacre Broad at Covehithe. Then again, guests may simply prefer to enjoy the wildlife in the garden which includes regular visits by a barn owl, a green woodpecker, with plenty of pheasant, partridge, skylarks and occasional sightings of muntjack deer.
