Pats' Place, Long Melford

Pats’ Place is a delightful Grade II listed cottage dating back to the 1600s, nestled amongst other period properties in a superb tucked-away position overlooking the iconic village green. Having been sympathetically and tastefully renovated, it provides first-class accommodation for up to four guests, in one of East Anglia’s most picturesque villages.

Situated on Church Walk, a no-through road leading up to the magnificent Grade I Listed Holy Trinity Church, the view from the master bedroom across the old hospital and village green towards Melford Hall is not to be missed. Parking is readily available along the lane itself, as well as in the Upper Green free car park.

Pats’ Place has been designed with flair, combining the old and new in an eclectic, yet cohesive mix of timeless furniture and original paintings.

The spacious, fully-equipped kitchen has everything needed for a comfortable stay, including a microwave, toaster, kettle, large free-standing fridge, and extensive cookware. The central granite island houses the oven, a large induction hob, and a couple of designer stools for coffee and a chat.

A corner dining table seats four people to enjoy some home cooking in a convivial atmosphere.

The cosy sitting room, boasting original beams and exposed old brick fireplace with open log fire is very inviting for a relaxing evening in. There is plenty of reading material, as well as an HD Samsung television.

Upstairs are two luxurious double bedrooms (one with a king size bed and one with a double), each with bedside lighting, blackout curtains/blinds, and plenty of storage space.

A central study area has a generous Georgian desk for home working, and this space can double as a dressing room with discreet hanging space and small Edwardian sofa.

There is also a newly-refurbished shower room.

At the rear of Pats’ Place is a delightful walled cottage garden, a wonderful sun trap on a sunny day. A farmhouse table and chairs in the covered space can be used for hobbies, or as an alternative dining area.

Please note that a right of way exists behind the house for the neighbouring property’s occasional use, as is often the case in a village setting.

Pats’ Place is a stylish little gem in one of the most sought-after locations in beautiful Long Melford, and the ideal getaway to experience Suffolk at its very best.
