Notes from the host
The Artist's House Orford
This light and airy holiday home on the Suffolk coast is truly a destination where you can escape from every day life for a memorable seaside holiday or weekend away with family and/or friends. The Artist’s House is located in a rural position just a short walk from the picturesque fishing village of Orford and has ample outdoor space ‘at home’, furnished and equipped for long lazy lunches and BBQs, with a large lawn for kids and pets to run around in the fresh air.

GROUND FLOOR
The front door opens into a porch, with cloakroom ahead of you and the open plan living/kitchen/dining room to the left, with tri-folding doors to the garden. The original cottage floorboards are in the living space and inner hall, with carpets in the bedrooms and tiles in the shower room. There's the added bonus of Superfast Full Fibre Broadband.
KITCHEN/DINING ROOM
Ideal for socialising with family and friends, combining a quality kitchen, seating and dining area with folding doors to the garden. The kitchen is designed in a U shape, so guests can sit at the breakfast bar whilst chatting to the chef! Integrated appliances include a waist height electric oven with microwave above, fridge, freezer, induction hob with extractor, dishwasher and washing machine with airer or washing line in the garden.
There’s a modern wood burner (with fire guard for protection) and both dining and living areas are furnished to a high standard with a huge L shaped sofa as well as a wonderfully deep sofa, a dining table with eight chairs and an eclectic mix of other furniture, artwork and home accessories.
SHOWER ROOM
This contemporary room with designer tiles has a large shower cubicle in one corner with shower rose and adjustable hand shower; there’s also a washbasin, WC, heated towel rail (towels provided) and natural light.
DOUBLE BEDROOM
The king size bed takes pride of place in this attractive bedroom which has a feature fireplace, high ceilings and large windows overlooking the garden. An Oriental style cabinet has shelves for your clothes, in addition to a chest of drawers and a couple of hooks for hanging things on the back of the door.

FIRST FLOOR
Carpeted stairs rise from the inner hall to the first-floor landing where both carpeted bedrooms and the bathroom with tiled floor are located.
DOUBLE ROOM
With far reaching views over the fields, this is a generous sized bedroom with oak king size bed facing the large double window. There's also a hand-carved mahogony bench, the perfect place to sit with morning coffee. Bedside drawers and a clothes unit give space for you to unpack.
BATHROOM
At the top of the stairs and sitting between the two bedrooms; with natural light from the window and quality fittings which include a bath with shower rose and hand shower over, WC, washbasin, and heated towel rail.
TWIN BEDROOM
Another large bedroom with full-sized twin beds, a storage unit with hangers, drawers and a shelf. This room also has restful views over the garden to the Suffolk countryside beyond.
OUTSIDE
The Artist’s House sits in an incredibly tranquil place, just a walk across the fields from all that Orford has to offer with shops, restaurants and the river. There’s a garden at the front setting the house back from the road and a path running down to the large rear garden, bordered by fields and furnished for relaxing or al fresco dining with a charcoal BBQ (please bring the charcoal) and a chiminea so you can make the most of the lack of light pollution and enjoy the night sky.
A long private unmade road takes you to this semi-detached holiday house where you'll find a parking space within the five bar gate and ample extra places on the track if needed. Whilst the garden has a fence or hedge surrounding it and a gate to the road we cannot guarantee that dogs won't escape so please ensure you keep an eye on them.
