There's no doubt you'll be left open-mouthed at the beauty and facilities at this former Old Mill House which sleeps up to 8 guests.

Meticulous care has been taken to restore this truly stunning property into a luxurious place to live and share - including a very welcoming and fully equipped disability suite, fully integrated and very much part of this home-from-home.

The light, airy surroundings and lush gardens, the adjacent River Deben and heritage water mill plus the rolling farmland beyond make it the perfect rural retreat, less than 20 minutes' drive away from the sea.

Living

The ground floor living room is extremely spacious. Two huge, plump sofas, strewn with cushions, nestle around the room centrepiece of a 360 degree, panoramic circular wood burning stove. The ceramic wood-effect tiled floors in dove grey with underfloor heating make it ideal for dogs and country living.

Huge windows are perfect for watching the stunning Suffolk sunsets.

The accessible lounge with TV - en-suite to the specially equipped ground floor bedroom/wet-room - makes for an area where everyone can enjoy relaxed time together in comfort.

Eating

The kitchen and dining areas are really rather special. The kitchen is spacious with reflective white high gloss kitchen cabinets and red splash backs and work surfaces giving a fun but top end contemporary style.

You’ll find it fantastically well stocked with kitchen equipment too, so you'll never be left searching for a corkscrew. Be sure to keep an eye out for the fabulous vintages pieces as well. There are further appliances in the well-equipped utility room.

The kitchen has a breakfast bar plus a comfortable chill out corner, perfect for those wanting to watch the chef at work. Or why not just open up the patio doors and sit back immerse yourself in the beautiful garden views?

Dining together in the accessible ground floor open plan living area means that every member of the house can join you – it is easily accessible from the disability suite. The stylish oak table and stylish chairs are just made for enjoying time in good company over a great meal together!

Bathing

Upstairs, in the chic ensuite bathrooms, the attention to detail and Porcelanosa ceramic tiling are fantastic.

You'll marvel at the floor-to-ceiling large designer tiles and the effect it gives these luxurious wet rooms.

Downstairs, the disability suite has a fully accessible wet room with a wash and dry WC, adjustable height basin with safe touch basin taps, shower with supports and a shower commode chair. Screens are provided for privacy during bathing.

Not wishing to leave any member of the party out, we’ve even included a dog shower in the utility cloakroom!

For guests or real convenience, there is a discrete cloakroom adjacent to the beautiful glass spiral staircase.

Patios & Garden

The Mill House enjoys both meadow/riverside and garden views and is complemented outside with beautiful garden spaces complete with plenty of seating.

The garden patio is accessible through the kitchen’s glass doors or through the front porch and looks out on a raised lawn with a delightful fountain and beautifully planted borders dotted with fascinating sculptures.

The disability suite has its own small enclosed patio.

The garden patio is always a firm favourite - a lovely, secluded spot for outside dining, relaxing with a cuppa or sitting snuggled with a warming drink of an evening as wave after wave of stars illuminate the deep velvet sky. A perfect way to enjoy your luxury family holiday together in Suffolk.

“The Mill House was ideal for my mother-in-law who had full use a disabled-friendly luxurious downstairs bedroom suite. Jacqui provided us with extra equipment to help make her stay comfortable and was on hand to answer any questions I had.”
