  • Heather

    “Our third visit to The Dunns, a marvellously light and airy second home.”

    We love its Scandinavian style, its homely touches and the perfect peace it offers in the most tranquil village in England. We’re coming back of course.

The property

You're welcomed into a small porch taking you through to the wonderful dining/kitchen, sure to be the hub of your holiday, which has doors to the courtyard garden at the back, stairs rising to the first floor and a door to the cosy family room to your left. One of the bedrooms sits quietly at the back of the ground floor, making it suitable for guests with a mobility problem, with an en-suite shower room. The second superb bedroom with sleek bathroom, is on the first floor with views over fields to the river through huge windows in the dormer window, or to the village from the Juliette balcony. You’ll be spoilt for choice outside with an enclosed patio/garden at the front catching the morning sun, furnished for outside dining. At the back there’s an enclosed courtyard which catches the afternoon and evening sun; again furnished casually for guests to relax. Parking for one car is on the drive beside the garden fence, with extra parking available on nearby roads if needed. External Porch Ideal space to leave footwear and hooks for coats. Kitchen/Dining Room The porch takes you into the lovely light open plan kitchen/dining area which has a solid dining table with two benches and two dining chairs waiting for you to do some entertaining. A stylish contemporary kitchen runs along two sides of the top part of the room with French doors opening onto the rear courtyard. Units housing integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer, electric oven with induction hob and extractor, dishwasher and a washer/dryer. Family Room Super sunny south facing room with box bay window making the most of the daylight, and a wood burner to keep it cosy in cooler months.

About the location

ORFORD

Snape Maltings 5 miles; Woodbridge 12 miles;

The attractive, unspoiled fishing village of Orford is situated on the bank of the River Alde and looked over by its magnificent 12th century castle built by Henry II. The village is home to a hotel and restaurant, two pubs, village store, bakers and wonderful fish restaurant and smokehouse. Orford is surrounded by farm land and forest in an area known as the Suffolk Coasts and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Centrally located, just 12 miles from Woodbridge to the south and Aldeburgh to the north, and just 5 miles from the famous Snape Maltings complex. The village of Orford is steeped in history. Henry II commissioned a castle to be built in the 12th century which is a must see when you visit the area.
