White Cottage Apartment

Iken sits in a quiet corner of East Suffolk, where the River Alde winds through open farmland and the Snape Maltings cultural venue sits nearby. White Cottage Apartment occupies a chalet-style building here, positioned to take in views across the meadows from a balcony on the first floor. The property is yours alone, set back from the road with private parking for one car.

Downstairs holds the kitchen and a shower room. Upstairs, a living room with Freeview television opens onto the balcony, and the bedroom contains a 5ft kingsize bed with an en-suite shower room. The kitchen is equipped for self-catering with an electric hob, combi microwave-oven-grill and fridge-freezer. Wi-Fi, electricity, bed linen and towels are included; oil central heating keeps the place warm. The back garden has seating and furniture for sitting out.

The village suits couples wanting seclusion without isolation. Walking trails follow the estuary towards Snape Maltings, where you'll often spot birds and occasionally seals. A pub and restaurant are 2 miles away; Aldeburgh, Thorpeness and Southwold beaches lie within easy reach. The Maltings runs a year-round programme of concerts and events. Smoking is not permitted inside.
