Suffolk self catering country holiday cottage
Broad Oak Cottage, Great Finborough,
nr Stowmarket, Suffolk
Sleeps 3 
About the property
Tucked away at the end of a long drive in the grounds of a magnificent period vicarage, this former gardener's cottage was built in the 1860s in Victorian Gothic style. We think this is the perfect countryside retreat for couples and small families alike.
Great Finborough is a pretty village near Stowmarket and for many years it was the home to the late BBC DJ John Peel. You'll find lovely countryside walks nearby as well as a popular golf course and excellent pubs within a short drive.
On the ground floor there's a living room with an open fire and an open plan kitchen/dining room. Upstairs are two bedrooms (a king and a single) and a bathroom. Outside you'll find plenty of off-road parking and a private walled patio garden.
The accommodation:
The front door leads into an open plan kitchen/dining room.
Kitchen/Dining Room: There’s a lovely dining table and four chairs at one end, and a fitted kitchen at the other with an electric hob and oven, microwave, dishwasher and a fridge with a freezer compartment.
Living room: This welcoming room has a lovely open fire and two sofas (a 3 seater and a 2 seater). There’s a flat screen TV with Freeview channels, a DVD player, coffee tables and a stereo system with a CD player and radio.
First floor:
From the ground floor go through a door to the stairs and up to the first floor:
Bedroom 1: This large room has a king size bed, bedside tables and two fitted wardrobes.
Bedroom 2: A single bedroom with a delightful Victorian pine bed, a chest of drawers, wardrobe and bedside table.
Bathroom: This has a three-quarter length bath with a hand held shower attachment, a separate shower cubicle, a w.c., a hand basin and a heated towel rail.
Outside: There’s a walled patio garden with a table, chairs and BBQ, and plenty of off-road parking too.
