Buxhall Coach House - Suffolk, England
About this Chic Retreat
Buxhall Coach House is an independent and romantic chic retreat in the grounds of Buxhall Vale, a stunning Georgian house surrounded by 40 acres of natural gardens and orchards, available for exclusive rental. With one double and one twin, this little gem works well as a spacious pad for 2 or a chic country retreat for a group of friends.
Sarah Townsend of Palazzo Terranova fame is behind the Buxhall Coach House which consists of a spacious entrance hall leading onto to a fully-equipped utility/cloak room (complete with the use of Hunter wellies!), kitchen, sitting room & study and en-suite bedroom. Nothing but the best for Sarah; the bespoke kitchen has been made by Keith Gray and comes with a four oven aga, surrounded by stunning hand-made tiles, and a Lacanche Range Cooker, a wine fridge and Sub Zero fridge/freezer. Sarah has made her mark on the sitting room using her signature colours of purples & lime greens from the Manuel Canovas range of fabrics. During the Winter months you can enjoy a glass of red wine in front of the woodburner, surrounded by a mix of modern and period art & antiques.
The charming study (perfect room for a travel cot if travelling with baby) leads off the sitting room through French doors which can separate the two rooms if need be. Complimentary WiFi is available for use during your stay and there is also a Flat Screen Television with SKY & sound system. This charming chic retreat has been featured in the Financial Times How to Spend it and Travel & Leisure Magazine.
