The Experience
This part of Suffolk is dotted with charming villages seemingly lost in time, and Chelsworth is perhaps one of the loveliest. A cluster of timbered and thatched cottages lead to the ancient church and the river Brett and everywhere green, bucolic fields radiate out. Picnic by the river; borrow the rowing boat: there are kingfishers and otters to spot.
The annexe is separated from the main timber-framed house by ancient thick walls and you get your own private entrance and outside space. Inside it is warm and inviting: the neat open-plan kitchen means you can cook and chat; the bedrooms have wonky wooden beams and delicious views over meadows teeming with flora and fauna. Sarah leaves you honey from her hives and eggs.
It’s five miles to pretty Lavenham and around each corner are more gorgeous medieval villages. The village pub serves good food, The Swan in Lavenham is excellent, the bright lights of Bury are a half hour drive.

Location
The neighbourhood
The Peacock in the village is well-known locally and draws crowds for its food. Lavenham, five miles, is bigger and has a selection of chi-chi boutiques, galleries and places to eat - The Swan and The Great House are both excellent. It's considered Britain’s best preserved medieval town and has over 300 listed buildings and it is often used for film productions. The coast is an hour's drive.
Local points of interest from Chris & Sarah Cullen
- The Old Pottery is part of a beautiful, historic, 15th century, Grade 2* listed merchants house set in several acres of river meadowland. An ancient church nestles within the grounds. Peaceful and tranquil. A unique place to stay.
- The unspoiled village of Chelsworth is one of the prettiest in Suffolk with lovely thatched, painted cottages and the meandering River Brett teeming with wildlife. Enjoy fishing or take the boat for a paddle. Look out for kingfishers, otters & watervoles
- Our local pub, The Peacock, is 50 yards away. You can enjoy local ales and good food in front of a warm log fire or in the pretty walled garden.
- The unspoiled medieval wool village of Lavenham is just 5 minutes drive away. Timber framed buildings line the streets and market place. Enjoy visiting the magnificent church, galleries, shops and wonky tea houses.
- Our award-winning farm shop, Hollow Trees, is 3 minutes drive away and sells fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, bread, local cheeses, cakes, wines, beers and washing powder! We also have 2 very well stocked community shops, each a mile away.
- We provide you with a delicious welcome pack of local produce including tea, coffee, milk, butter, eggs, bread and orange juice. We also have a travel cot and high chair for guests to use.

Introducing
Chris & Sarah Cullen
Sarah and Chris lived in the village for years but needed more space as their children got older. When The Grange came up for sale they bought it and the almost derelict Old Pottery. They oversaw a sympathetic, meticulous renovation for guests to enjoy. They are next door should you need them but it feels very private and peaceful here.
This is the most delightful cottage with very high standards of comfort, the Old Pottery itself is extremely unique in history, and a wonderful place to relax, and unwind. Many local villages of great interest to explore.
