Located two miles from A12 down a quiet country lane, in the quiet village of Great Glemham, Simpers Drift is a lovingly converted, detached dairy, in the grounds of the owner’s home, with stunning high ceilings, original features throughout and fabulous modern touches. There is access to using an electric vehicle charging point, charges apply. The cosy wood burner is ideal for those cooler evenings and a mature garden and sprawling grounds to explore outside.
Surrounding the property, you will find an excellent network of walks and cycle routes meandering through the pretty Suffolk villages, both country and coastal. The National Trust owned Sutton Hoo is only a 15-minute drive away, and the nearby Dunwich Heath is within 25 minutes. A 35-minute drive is the Port of Felixstowe and its beaches with the passenger foot and bike Ferry leaving from Landguard Fort to Historic Harwich and Shotley, this is provided by award winning Harwich Harbour Ferry Services who also run excellent seal watching trips all year round. The nearby Woodland Trust area Pound Farm is a wonderful mix of woodland, orchard, grassy race, wildflower meadow and ponds of 250 acres which is nearly all fenced, ideal for those with four-legged guests! This part of Suffolk boasts many country estates for visiting including, Helmingham Hall, Crows Hall and Hevingham Hall. All with gardens, history, and culture to explore. Framlingham is well worth a visit, its castle a particular highlight along with excellent restaurant, pubs, and shops.
Simpers Drift is near Snape Maltings with its world-class concert hall (famous for its association with Benjamin Britten) and only 6 miles from the seaside town of Aldeburgh. Also, nearby, and well worth a visit is the RSPB Nature Reserve at Minsmere and approximately 35 minutes away is the coastal town of Southwold and the village of Walberswick. The property is also within easy reach of numerous wedding venues. Beach 9 miles. Shop, pub, and restaurant ½ mile.
Although set in the fictional Essex village of Danebury, Detectorists has actually been filmed in Suffolk throughout season one to three. Most of the scenes were filmed in and around the rural town of Framlingham and some interior scenes in the Great Glemham pub, The Crown. Framlingham is most famous for its spectacular Norman castle and for local lad Ed Sheeran.
