Country holiday accommodation in Suffolk
White House Farm, Sweffling, Suffolk
Sleeps 4 
About the property
Set in the heart of the peaceful Alde valley within easy reach of Aldeburgh and Southwold on the Suffolk Coast, this historic farmhouse provides delightful accommodation for couples and small families alike. The spacious house is half-Tudor and half Georgian with simple, tasteful furnishings and a wood burning stove with a lovely ‘getaway’ from the rest of the world feel. When you are ready for some company, there are two local pubs within a short drive from the house.
The ground floor has a kitching/dining room and a living room, and upstairs you’ll find two bedrooms (with a king size bed and twin beds) and a bathroom. Outside there’s a private lawned garden and plenty of off-road parking.
The novel writer Theodore Francis Powys lived in the house in the late 1800s and ran the farm before ‘retiring’ to Dorset. Theodore loved the peace and quiet of the countryside and said he “never gave so much as a sunflower-seed for the busy, practical life.” We hope you’ll find some of the same peace and quiet here too.
The accommodation:
Ground floor:
The front door leads into a small hallway where there’s a cupboard to hang up your outdoor coats.

Kitchen/Dining room: There’s a large farmhouse table with six chairs in the middle of the room. The kitchen has an electric hob, grill and oven, fridge-freezer, slimline dishwasher, washing/drying machine and a microwave. There’s a fireplace (not in use) and exposed original beams.
First floor:
Steep wooden stairs from the ground floor hallway lead up to a landing with doors to the bedrooms and bathroom.
