Dove Point Cottage is named after a point in the River Ore which can just be glimpsed from the loft bedroom. Built in 1878 by Sir Richard Wallace, the owner of the Sudbourne Estate, the property forms part of a terrace of four estate cottages of red brick elevations under a pan tiled roof. The house, arranged over three floors provides well-proportioned accommodation and lends itself perfectly as a weekend retreat or holiday investment property.
At the rear of the property there is a graveled courtyard (over part of which is a right of way) offering good off-street parking for two cars. There is also a garage and timber framed summer house with a south-facing lawn.
Dove Point Cottage enjoys a wonderful location in Orford with local amenities literally on your doorstep. Orford itself is a delightful coastal town, providing a peaceful idyll for nature lovers wanting to explore the Ness and the beautiful coastline. The town is home to an English Heritage 12th Century castle, Orford Ness (National Trust nature reserve) and an iconic lighthouse, providing lots to explore. For small town, Orford packs a punch and offers two pubs (The Jolly Sailor & The Kings Head), the Crown and Castle hotel, Pinney's famous smokehouse & Butley Oysterage restaurant, the award-wining Pump Street Bakery, sailing club, a small selection of shops and a primary school with a fantastic reputation. The town of Woodbridge lies 12 miles to the west, along the River Deben and past Sutton Hoo. Woodbridge has a bustling high street, independent cinema and a wide variety of restaurants and pubs. It also benefits from good transport links, including from Melton, with trains to Ipswich, and London (Liverpool Street) beyond. Snape and Aldeburgh are both less than 20 minutes' drive away.
