The property

Number 1 is a lovely, ground-floor apartment in the heart of the market town of Clare, enveloped around Clare Country Park, villages bursting with heritage, countryside walks and local amenities. It is an idyllic romantic getaway exploring the countryside of Suffolk. Enter through the private entrance and be delighted by the tastefully presented interior, punctuated by its historic charm with feature pieces including paperwork and receipts from its Victorian era, a rare King George VI post-box and a wooden carving of a man from the European Reformation, truly combining character with contemporary facilities. The open-plan kitchen and sitting room makes for easy and convenient living; spacious and with full-height window shutters the space is a peaceful haven when dusk hits. It will not be hard to rustle up a home-cooked meal together, create romantic meals for your loved one or unbox a local takeaway, courtesy of the kitchen’s stylish interior and contemporary amenities including a slimline dishwasher and washing machine, and indulge in some quality time around the L-shaped sofa. Afterwards, put your favourite programme on the Samsung Smart TV before nighttime rolls around, and a well-proportioned double bedroom awaits sleepy heads. The bedroom boasts ample storage, bedside lamps and a colourful feature wall, making it a relaxing sanctuary to catch your rest. Indulge in your morning coffee, with the help of the cafetiere, at the raised breakfast bar, combined with a spot of people-watching while overlooking the high street, or on warmer days head out onto the shared patio amidst the occasional birdsong. Freshen up for the day with a rinse in the shower, fitted with sleek tiling and a toasty heated towel rail. Explore the local town of Clare, window shop in the independent boutiques, and taste-test the local café and bakeries, as well as the local butchers to grab your evening’s stock. Begin your countryside adventures at Clare Country Park, with a plethora of routes towards the Stour Valley past the remains of the ancient castle, exploring the Clare Priory, St Peter and St Paul’s Church and antiquing in Sea Pictures Gallery. Photographers and history lovers alike cannot miss exploring the nearby public houses all within walking distance from the doorstep. For an adventure afar, head to the popular villages of Long Melford and Lavenham for a wider range of amenities and attractions. Cambridge is a little further, boasting unique architecture and cobbled streets, becoming even more vibrant at night with an array of restaurants and bars to savour a delicious cocktail. Number 1 is an inviting Suffolk retreat.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.
