The Old Granary

Overview

Relish your own “messing about on the river” with waterway views from every single window inside your deluxe designer retreat. Where better to watch the tide ebb and flow, the yachts bob up and down…

Riverside cottage

River locations don’t come much better than this traditional whiteboard cottage tucked on the River Deben whose waterways make up the vista from every view point inside. Built in the same style as the iconic Woodbridge Tide Mill opposite, this cottage offers luxury living right on the waterfront.

Step inside and you’re immediately struck by the light and airy spaces. The exquisite interior design has kept the original brick walls downstairs providing a striking focal point as you move on upwards to the open-plan living area. Many shades of white paint the walls and floors providing a delicate backdrop for the real star outside.

You’ll watch the River Deben for hours as it ebbs and flows with the tide; as the fishing boats, yachts and schooners bob and sway in the light sea breeze as it drifts in across the salt marshes. Historic Sutton Hoo sits visible on the horizon too. Just select the perfect soundtrack from the SONOS system, sit back on the plush sofa and watch.

When it’s time to eat, preparation will only be a pleasure in the stunning black and white kitchen with everything you need including those river views. Dine at the formal table or outside on your private patio looking onto the Tide Mill and, of course, the river.

Both bedrooms offer more of the same deluxe comfort – think lots of space in delicate shades of white and superking beds. And through the windows, the river. Open them and relish in the sounds of the tide and the water birds.

Venture outside and you’ll find Woodbridge with its charming street, art galleries, cafés and restaurants, and traditional fishing boats. Or take a hike or a cycle ride into the lovely Suffolk countryside before you return home to your waterfront retreat and those river views.

Bedrooms and bathrooms

The Old Granary sleeps four in two bedrooms, one of the ground floor and the other on the second. Both have en suite bathrooms, one with walk-in shower.
