The Shire Cottage offers 2 pretty double bedrooms, 1 bunk, bathroom with shower, lounge, dining room, kitchen with breakfast area, private garden, patio.

This charismatic and beautiful 18th century beamed cottage is situated in a superb rural area in a quiet country lane and nearby fields. With many original features it sits in its own 1/3 of an acre landscaped garden with two covered ponds and small orchard.

Although located in a tranquil setting it is a short drive from the bustling town of Diss with its many shops, cafes, restaurants and golf course. Steeped in history this former market town is characterised by its many period buildings ranging from a 14th century tower at St Mary's church, Georgian architecture and a picturesque 6 acre Mere Lake with fish in abundance. Diss is also visited for its distinguished auction rooms, ideal for antique and bric-a-brac bargain hunters.

Centrally located, the cottage is within easy reach to historic Bury St Edmunds with its abbey ruins and cobble stoned shopping area. In the other direction you will find Norwich city cathedral and castle where you can enjoy a leisurely walk around the ancient walls. Only fifty minutes away is the Southwold and Suffolk heritage coastline, and Lavenham and Cambridge are easily accessible.
