Just picture yourself on the balcony ! This is luxury conversion of a Historic Steam Mill into a beautiful two bedroomed Cottage. The cottage is set at the top of a hill with lovely private ‘mature’ gardens to enjoy and really wonderful views across the valleys in both directions. It also benefits from the use of ( by arrangement with the owners ) the tennis court. Please note that young children and babies cannot be accepted in this property – sorry. Cottage Walk Through The Old Steam Mill is accessed along a private drive up to the ridge of the hill with magnificent views of the Suffolk countryside with steep valley’s on both sides, there is a private car park outside and beside the cottage. From the front door you enter directly into the sitting room with its large sofas, cosy log burner and colourful rugs. To the left is a dining area and kitchen and small hallway to the back door. To the right is a large bedroom with a king size bed, en-suite with a luxury walk in shower and loo and a dressing room. You can walk straight out of this bedroom onto a sunny Breakfast patio beside a pond and the mature gardens. Between the sitting room and dining area is an open staircase leading to a landing area with a sofa – a lovely sunny place to read. A few steps up takes you to the spacious second king size bedroom, here there is a single truckle bed for a 5th guest – because of the lack of privacy and it being a single bed it is only suitable for a child (Children must be aged 8 or over) The upstairs bedroom also has a lovely en-suite bathroom – the bath is oversized and has a hand held shower. French doors lead out to a large balcony with sofas, a table and chairs and lighting for you to enjoy the beautiful views over the valley and really unwind. The owners are happy to accept dogs but they do have a young cat wandering around, so please only bring your dog if it’s cat friendly! Thank you. There is a £20 pet charge for up to 7 nights. The Gardens There is a beautiful private mature garden where you will always find a quiet private spot. Beyond the garden there are views of open the countryside dipping down into the lovely Hartest valley. The owners are also happy for you to use their tennis court by prior arrangement. Outside The Old Steam Mill is at the end of the owners long drive and situated just past their house at the top of the hill. It has its own car park and really lovely views across the valley on both sides and walks straight from the cottage into beautiful Suffolk countryside.
