A charming and well presented individual detached cottage style bungalow set in private gardens.
Friston is located in the heart of Suffolk's Heritage Coast and benefits from a popular public house The Chequers. Friston is approximately four miles from the popular seaside town of Aldeburgh which has a lively High Street full of both independent and national shops and eateries supported by an active and engaged local community as well as a thriving tourist trade. The nearby towns of Leiston and Saxmundham provide further High Street shopping and supermarkets, the latter of these towns contains a branch railway station that with a change at Ipswich provides a route to London Liverpool Street.

Description - Tucked away along quiet Donkey Lane, a private unmade road on the southern edge of Friston village, Reed Cottage offers a rare opportunity to enjoy tranquil country living within easy reach of the coast. This delightful single-storey detached home sits behind a wide shingle driveway with ample parking, turning space, and access to a generously proportioned detached garage.

A shingle pathway bordered by lawn and colourful planting leads to a wide paved terrace framed by brick retaining walls and well-stocked flowerbeds. From here, a traditional stable door opens into the welcoming entrance hall, leading through the length of the cottage.

Inside, the accommodation flows beautifully, with two comfortable bedrooms—one enjoying views over the rear garden, and the other benefiting from a lovely double aspect to both front and back. A well-proportioned bathroom includes both a bath and a separate shower.

At the heart of the home is the inviting living room, featuring the focal point of a fireplace, a dining area with archway to the kitchen, and French-style casement doors opening directly onto the rear garden. The kitchen is fitted with classic Shaker-style units, wood-effect work surfaces, and a built-in electric oven and hob. A large cupboard houses the recently installed Grant oil-fired central heating boiler. Beyond, a practical utility area with plumbing for a washing machine leads into a bright garden sitting room, enjoying double-glazed windows and doors that open to the rear garden.

Outside, the gardens are a true highlight. The front garden is laid to lawn with mature borders brimming with flowering plants and shrubs, screened from Donkey Lane by a hedgerow for privacy. A side pathway leads to the rear garden, which offers a blend of lawn, paved terraces, and gravel pathways—perfect for outdoor dining, gardening, or simply relaxing in the peaceful surroundings. The boundaries are attractively screened by a variety of conifers, providing a private and sheltered setting.

With its secluded position, generous gardens, and charming character features, Reed Cottage offers an ideal retreat only short dive to the coast at Aldeburgh
