The property
The White House with Studio is charming at any time of the year, with a wood burner set in the feature brick wall in the cosy yet spacious drawing room for cooler months, and fully glazed garden room providing alternative seating and/or space for children to play. The kitchen/breakfast room is also a great combination of old and new, with all the equipment you need between here, the utility and laundry rooms, including an Aga, electric oven and two fridges. Steep stairs take you up to the bedrooms, spread between the first and second floors, together with a luxury bathroom and en-suite shower room.
There’s ample parking for four cars at the front and a good sized garden at the back with a patio for outdoor dining and lawn with fruit trees and shrubs. The detached Studio in the garden gives additional accommodation for two guests in a king size bed with a fridge and sink so you can make your own refreshments, and an en-suite shower room.

Today it is home to an award-winning local pub where you can enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal, and there are plenty of footpaths to wander to soak up the glorious surrounding countryside. The village is situated within easy reach of the Suffolk Heritage Coast and there are endless beautiful towns and villages just a short drive away. Nearby Harleston is a friendly town offering ancient inns, charming individual shops, good restaurants and cafes, an art gallery and local museum, and a weekly market. Bungay is a historic bustling market town where you can enjoy following the local Village Trail or pop into one of the many cafes and shops for a bit of refreshment. Other nearby places include Framlingham Castle, a Norman castle currently looked after by English Heritage and well worth a visit.
