The open plan living space enjoys a fabulous kitchen with a slight industrial feel. The units are smart and stylish with excellent appliances for your self-catering break. The dining area is very cute with a delightful table, chairs and bench seating painted in the same bluey grey tone as the kitchen cabinetry. The lounge area is just stunning. A sumptuous velvet sofa and chair are perfectly positioned to enjoy the log burning fire and the gorgeous panorama. Though petite, the high sloping ceiling gives this delightful space a cavernous feel and the doors and windows drown it in natural light. You will definitely appreciate the attention to detail is this lovely little pad.
Your bedroom is very special with your superbly comfortable kingsize bed beautifully dressed with luxury linens and stylish soft furnishings. The wall of glass doors facing the bed opens fully to a countryside wonder of fields and big skies. In front of your bed is your fabulous freestanding, roll top bath where you can indulge yourselves with both kinds of bubbles and those views. It is so romantic to have the freedom to bathe surrounded by nature. The shower room is beautifully appointed with an excellent walk-in shower.
You can step out from your bedroom and the living room to your patio with its garden chairs where you will be mesmerised by the scene in front of you and the changing light.

Location
About the surrounding area of Wickhambrook HideawayWickhambrook Hideaway is surrounded by glorious fields deep in the Suffolk countryside. It is located on the outskirts of the village of Wickhambrook, between Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds, Haverhill and Lavenham. Cambridge is to the west and the fabulous Suffolk coast to the east.
The charming, much photographed village of Lavenham is considered to be Britain’s best preserved medieval village and one of Suffolk’s most important wool towns. At every turn in Lavenham you will encounter medieval charm with characterful timber framed buildings lining the narrow streets and lanes. Lavenham has also gained a ‘foodie’ reputation with excellent restaurants and pubs. The village offers a rich history. In Tudor England, Lavenham was the 14th richest town thanks to its famous Lavenham Blue broadcloth. There are over 300 buildings listed as being of architectural and historic interest, including the beautiful Church of St Peter and St Paul, Little Hall, The Guildhall and De Vere House. The celebrated Guildhall is a spectacular timber-framed building built around 1530 by the religious Guild of Corpus Christi. The renovated Guildhall is located in the historic market place and today tells the stories of Lavenham’s fortunes. Little Hall, built in the 1390’s was once home to the Causton family and is now a museum owned by the Suffolk Buildings Preservation Trust. St Peter and St Paul Church was built at the height of Lavenham’s prosperity by Thomas Spring III in the late 15th century. The Old Grammar School is another amazing building. It was open from 1647-1887 and is a Grade I listed building whose many pupils included the famous painter John Constable. De Vere House is also know as the De Vere Hunting Lodge, the last house in Lavenham to be owned by the Earls of Oxford. Lavenham boasts a wonderful array of art galleries including the Crooked House Gallery, a building full of wonky charm. There are many charming cafes and restaurants. Lavenham is very proud of its strong links to America. The Lavenham airbase was home to the 487th Bombardment Group of the 8th US Army Air Force who flew 185 missions and more than 6000 sorties during WWII. There are some delightful walks in and around Lavenham. One is the Lavenham Woodland walk, part of the Old Lavenham to Long Melford Great Eastern Railway line. Not only is is beautiful, there are 24 varieties of butterflies that have been seen in the area.
The market town of Newmarket is the home of horse racing with the largest racehorse breeding centre in the country. It is a key global centre for horse health. Two classic races and three British Champions Series races are held at Newmarket each year. Newmarket has enjoyed close royal connections since the time of James I and the Queen often visits the town to see her horses in training. There are over fifty stables and two large racetracks, the Rowley Mile and the July Course. The town is home to over 3,500 racehorses.
Bury St Edmunds, the home of Saint Edmund, the original patron Saint of England boasts award-winning restaurants, excellent shopping, beautiful parks, historic buildings and many annual festivals. The magnificent St Edmundsbury Cathedral stands in the stunning Abbey Gardens among the ruins of the Abbey of St Edmund.
There is something for everyone in Cambridge. You might like to go punting on the River Cam, enjoy a picnic in the park, cycle around the impressive network of cycle paths, visit the stunning university buildings or join a walking tour of the city. King’s College Chapel is celebrated for its choral services including the famous A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, broadcast live by the BBC to the nation and around the globe on Christmas Eve. The University of Cambridge’s Fitzwilliam Museum houses world-class collections of art and antiquities spanning centuries and Kettle’s Yard is a fantastic gallery for 20th century art and contemporary art. Theatre lovers are very happy with performances straight from the West End. There are also many alfresco music gigs.
If you can bear to leave Wickhambrook Hideaway, you may also enjoy a day at the seaside. It is easy to visit the dramatic and beautiful Suffolk Heritage Coast and the wonderful, popular seaside resorts of Aldeburgh, Thorpeness, Southwold and Felixstowe from Wickhambrook.

We have some fabulous luxury properties waiting just for you. Seaside or countryside – take your pick!
Nature lovers, rejoice! The pristine, breathtaking Suffolk coast is calling your name. Aldeburgh, the coastal town with charm to spare, welcomes you with a shingle beach perfect for salty sea air inhalation, some good old fish and chips and the Aldeburgh Scallop sculpture, a tribute to the legendary composer Benjamin Britten. If you head a little further south, you will stumble upon the oh-so-peaceful village of Orford, complete with a castle on a hill offering panoramic views that will make your heart skip a beat. You can dive into the whimsical wonder of Thorpeness, head to Walberswick where beach huts and sandy shores create a haven for artists and beachcombers or Southwold, a gem with a quirky pier, a stunning beach and the famed Adnams Brewery. These seaside gems offer artsy flair and a delightful dose of coastal bliss.

Look up, and you will see the majestic St Edmundsbury Cathedral dominating the skyline, a Gothic masterpiece that will make your jaw drop. The Abbey Gardens invite relaxation with colourful flowerbeds and the remains of the once-mighty Bury St Edmunds Abbey. Let us not forget Suffolk's rural charm, sprinkled generously across idyllic villages such as Lavenham. This medieval wool town is a paradise for history buffs, with timber-framed buildings that look like they are straight out of a fairy tale. You can explore the Guildhall and wander through cobbled streets surrounded by boutique shops and quaint tearooms.
For the wild at heart, Thetford Forest is your playground! Cyclists and hikers, get ready for scenic trails winding through dense woodlands and around picturesque lakes. The High Lodge Forest Centre is your one-stop-shop for outdoor thrills. Go Ape treetop adventures and Segway tours await, promising an adrenaline-fueled day amidst nature.

Dog loves it too

Thank you
Absolutely stunning property in a gorgeous location! We were sad to leave! Furnishings are extremely well done, the bed was super comfortable and the views outside were amazing! There were also a fair few walks nearby including one which we did from the end of the lane. It wasn’t too far a drive to get into town and we were lucky enough to be around on a weekend where a local event was taking place in a nearby field to partake in candy floss and watch a bit of Morris dancing! We will definitely be coming back in future and I’ve already recommended the place to just about everybody who will listen. Thanks for providing a home away from home!

A very relaxing stay!
Wonderful long weekend at the Wickhambrook Hideaway. Everything was so comfortable and relaxing, it felt like a much longer trip. Just what we needed to get away from it all and recharge. Thank you so much!
-

Fantastic retreat, only 20 mins drive from foodie central Bury st Edmunds. The views over the surrounding fields is undistracted and so peaceful. Kitchen was great for ‘proper’ cooking and a good standard of equipment. Lots of storage, shower very powerful and lovely interior design! Thank you! We’ll be back!
