Lilly Cottage

Deben Road sits in the thriving riverside town of Woodbridge in Suffolk and offers a welcoming base for families and friends, with an enclosed rear garden and the amenities of the town close at hand.

Parking nearby, you can stroll towards this cute mid terrace cottage where a gentle sense of character meets you at the door before the hallway guides you into the kitchen, a space that encourages you to unpack, put the kettle on and ease naturally into your stay.

Moving through to the sitting room, you might pause to unwind after exploring Woodbridge, allowing the calm setting to slow the pace before drifting into the light filled conservatory where you can plan tomorrow’s outings.

The ground floor shower room offers a refreshing stop after time beside the river, and heading upstairs you will find a peaceful double bedroom along with a flexible twin room, creating a relaxed layout that suits both families and friends.

At the rear, the tranquil garden feels pleasantly generous, with trees creating a sheltered atmosphere and bistro furniture arranged on the gravel offering a lovely place for a slow morning drink or for reflecting on the day as it winds down.
