Welcome to the extraordinary Rose Hall on the Suffolk Heritage Coast, with its wetlands, beaches and gentle waterways typified by nearby Orford. Rose Hall lies on the edge of the village from which it takes its name. It is the perfect home away from home and offers plenty of space, making it an ideal setting for large family gatherings, birthday parties and anniversaries. This charming country house has an air of privacy, yet it is only 5 minutes away from the local gastropub and is within easy reach of Woodbridge, Wickham Market and Orford.
 
Recently renovated, this Grade II Listed Hall is a former rectory and the oldest parts of the house date to the early 1700s. It is the perfect backdrop to discover the delights of Suffolk.
 
Private gates open to a curving gravelled drive that leads to the elegant front facade of the house and courtyard with its fine stone fountain. The house is of an L‐shaped configuration. The gorgeous interiors feature well-proportioned rooms throughout, with modern yet homely furnishings, contemporary paintings, and toasty fireplaces. The ground floor has a flexible and appealing layout. The inspiring dining room with wooden floors, large windows and chandeliers at the bowed eastern end can comfortably accommodate 12-14 guests. Bright and light, the elegant conservatory/garden room at the north end of the house is filled with olive trees. It is ideal for laid back breakfasts and relaxed evening dinners. The elegant drawing room, cosy sitting room well-equipped kitchen with breakfast bar and pantry all enjoy lovely views of the outside garden and courtyard.

The first floor consists of a sophisticated large master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, six bedrooms with double beds – one of which share an adjoining door. There is a further additional twin bedroom with two single beds. All the bedrooms have been thoughtfully designed and benefit from superb far reaching elevated views over the garden. The second floor provides three final bedrooms, two doubles and a twin single. The space lends itself well to teenagers, and young adults stay.
 
Across the courtyard is the former coach house, now serving as a brilliantly converted and styled games and party room. The wood-panelled clubhouse has bi-folding doors, bar, snooker table and relaxing lounge area.
Outside you will feel spoilt, and the ample garden provides much privacy and seclusion with its walled private swimming pool, tennis court, garden, and pond. A well‐known designer has recently replanted areas of the gardens, and the cedar tree and lawns create a soothing and restful ambience.
 
The tennis court is surfaced with Astroturf and sits wonderfully amongst the paths and borders, and the superb outdoor pool and pool house offer a private spot to cool off, catch some sun and eat a light lunch prepared in the kitchenette.
 
This part of Suffolk has also become a celebrated cultural hub, with the popular galleries and concert hall at Snape Maltings and the seaside town of Aldeburgh, with its annual Festival of Music and the Arts. The surrounding countryside offers endless walks across farmland and through nearby Tunstall Forest.

Rose Hall is brilliant for families, together you can enjoy exploring local attractions and historical sites like the Dunwich Heath and Beach or the Orford Ness National Nature Reserve. And if that wasn't enough, there are the charming nearby villages of Aldeburgh, Woodbridge and Framlingham - all offering a selection of shops, galleries, a cinema and restaurants. Thorpeness House is the perfect seaside escape offering a stress-free stay where you can truly recharge your batteries.
