All the privacy of a country house but within just a couple of minutes walk of Westleton, the duck pond and village green with its two great eating pubs, including The Crown Hotel (Suffolk dining pub of the year) village shop, craft and bookshop. Rowan House boasts a large heated outdoor pool, 2-acres of landscaped gardens and large and well appointed reception rooms making it a great property for a family gathering or a group of friends who are looking for really attractive surrounding in which to enjoy their time away.
An ideal location for anyone enjoying walking, bird watching, cycling or simply exploring Suffolk's fine beaches. Surrounded by ancient heath land, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Westleton has something for everyone.
Well known for its Barrel Fayre and open air screening of a classic film on the green, Westleton is just a couple of miles from the world famous RSPB Minsmere and Dunwich Heath, and the lost city of Dunwich and the sea. Southwold, Aldeburgh and Snape (home of the Aldeburgh Festival) are about eight miles away. Walberswick with its long sandy beach is just 10 mins by car.
Westleton is typical of the best of Suffolk villages. A large village green, with duck pond, surrounded by mature trees, picture postcard cottages and a fine old coaching inn. The thatched church, built in 1340, is well worth a visit. The village also boasts an excellent local shop and post office, a fascinating second hand bookshop, a restaurant and a tearoom.
Darsham, with its cycle hire and railway station (London in two hours) within a couple of miles and loads of country lanes and byways to explore.
