Marsh Cottage is an exceptional family home with two separate forms of secondary accommodation, perfect for extended family or for a nanny.

The paved walkway leads to the charming entrance and once you are inside, the exposed beamed reception hall and stone flooring connects the house from the drawing room through to the study. The large drawing room with an open fireplace has double doors out to the garden and is a perfect place for entertaining family and friends. The dining room with pastel Suffolk pink walls offers intimate dining and views out over the garden and surrounding fields. The dining room leads through to a cosy study come reading room which benefits from an abundance of natural light in the morning. The kitchen can also be accessed from a back door through a utility room and offers huge potential for modernisation and extension, subject to planning permission. The kitchen also has a walk-in pantry. The first floor benefits from five bedrooms with the principal bedroom enjoying an ensuite bathroom and views over the garden. At the other end of the house is a large bedroom with pretty views, a family bathroom and then there are three bedrooms running along the corridor, perfect for children's bedrooms.

The house overlooks the garden and paddocks beyond this and offers a private, unspoilt setting in all about 1 acre. The west facing garden offers a perfect spot for family living and entertaining during the summer months. The garden offers ample opportunity for further landscaping and design to support the charming house.

To the west of the driveway sits a pretty brick and flint 2 bedroom cottage with its own garden and parking area. The cottage is private to the house and is currently vacant but could be used for holiday lets, secondary or staff accommodation.

Recently renovated, a short walk to the house, The Coach House has been converted into a holiday let with a bedroom and bathroom upstairs and an open plan kitchen living room downstairs. This property can be used as an additional income stream or additional accommodation for family or guests.


Marsh Cottage is set in Eyke's most rural position, tucked away from the village in the Deben Valley. Accessed from The Street, a quiet lane leads down to the property, beyond which are the meadows with wonderful walks and unbroken views from the Property across The Common towards the River Deben which cuts through to the village of Ufford where two excellent public houses are located.
Marsh Cottage is set on the edge of Suffolk Coast & Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, in an untapped area of Suffolk which is well placed for connectivity to Woodbridge for schools/commuting or the coastal towns of Aldeburgh and Thorpeness for shopping and dining. The popular riverside town of Woodbridge is a short drive away and provides a full range of services and facilities as well as sailing, rowing, tennis and golf clubs.
Ipswich can be reached in about 20 minutes and offers a range of shopping, educational, recreational and leisure facilities and a train station with a service to London running in just over one hour. Connection to Ipswich Station is from Melton (2 miles) where there is extensive parking.

Schools – There are numerous good schools in the area in both the public and private sector. Notably, Woodbridge School and Framlingham College nearby, Orwell Park, Ipswich High School, Ipswich School and the Royal Hospital School (RHS). Dining – The Unruly Pig, The Crown (Ufford),

Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain).

The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted

    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
