This property is set in a lovely location, with extensive grounds and outdoor heated swimming pool.
What a treat! A 16th-century Tudor manor house, this holiday home offers comfortable and stylish accommodation within the Suffolk Coast National Nature Reserve. Casement windows allow you to gaze out over an expansive front lawn, and the soft pink-coloured façade gives this property real character.
Inside is a treasure trove of rooms, each as characterful and contrasting as the last. The entrance hall greets you with terracotta-tiled flooring. Preparing for Sunday lunch in the farmhouse-style kitchen/diner couldn’t be easier, fully fitted as it is with all necessary appliances. After a meal round the grand oak dining table, the kids can race off into the living room and decide which film to watch beside a glowing open fire, leaving you free to have a long catch-up with old friends outside on the patio in the fading light. Exposed timber framework runs throughout the house, and upstairs are six idiosyncratic bedrooms with a four poster kingsize bed in the master bedroom.
An extensive garden stretches out from the house in all directions. Enjoy the pergola surrounded by herbaceous borders, wander through the wild meadow, kick a football about with the children, find a quiet spot to relax in, there’s something for everyone. The outdoor heated swimming pool is a delight. Light the barbecue, open a bottle of wine and settle down to a great family evening.
Cravens Manor has a wealth of attractions to visit nearby, first and foremost has to be the lovely Suffolk Coast. The Norfolk Broads and the bird sanctuary at Minsmere should also be high on the agenda, and fine food connoisseurs can explore the many pubs and restaurants in the vicinity.
