Set on the picturesque peninsula where the Rivers Orwell and Stour meet, this charming four-bedroom home is surrounded by unspoilt landscapes, big skies and abundant wildlife—offering a magical escape for families, groups of friends and nature lovers exploring this beautiful corner of East Anglia. Thoughtfully designed for comfort and calm, Box Iron Cottage makes the most of its riverside setting. Three of the four bedrooms, along with the kitchen, lounge and study, enjoy breathtaking views of the water—so whether you're cooking, relaxing or simply wandering through the house with a cup of tea, the ever-changing river scenery is always part of your stay. The spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area is well equipped and ideal for shared meals, slow breakfasts or long chats over supper. The cosy lounge, complete with an open fire, invites you to unwind after a day exploring the peninsula. A bright conservatory opens directly on to the garden, offering a peaceful spot to read, listen to the birds, or enjoy a quiet moment in the sunshine. Box Iron Cottage retains much of its original character which adds charm and authenticity. The cottage has steep stairs and a few low beams and doorways, which may make access unsuitable for some guests. For those seeking a moment of calm—or needing a comfortable place to work—the study provides both privacy and inspiring river views. Large windows throughout the cottage frame the surrounding countryside, creating a wonderfully restful atmosphere in every season. Ground Floor The main entrance, kitchen and study feature rustic brick tiles that give a relaxed country feel from the moment you step inside. A convenient downstairs WC and a sunlit conservatory complete this level, with sliding doors that open on to the garden during warmer months. Outside, the private garden includes a lawn, outdoor seating and a BBQ—perfect for relaxed breakfasts, leisurely afternoons or dining outdoors on warm summer evenings. The private driveway comfortably accommodates two cars, keeping arrivals and days out easy and stress-free. First Floor Upstairs, the master bedroom offers sweeping river views that can be enjoyed straight from the comfort of the bed, along with an ensuite shower room. A second double and a twin bedroom share the same beautiful riverside outlook, while the second twin overlooks the peaceful garden—a calming retreat for children or adults alike. The Area Set in the village of Shotley, Box Iron Cottage is perfectly placed for exploring the Shotley Peninsula and the neighbouring hamlet of Pin Mill. One of the area’s most loved walks begins right from the back door: wander down towards the water, turn left, and follow the shoreline along the River Orwell all the way to Pin Mill and the much-loved Butt and Oyster pub—an idyllic spot for food, views and watching the boats drift by. For everyday essentials, Hollingsworth’s in Chelmondiston offers fresh produce and a handy Post Office counter, while the Shotley village shop provides extended opening hours for convenience. Visitors can also enjoy a trip to the nearby Suffolk Food Hall, known for its excellent local produce, café and impressive riverside views. Takeaways include Lee’s Cottage (Chinese) and Lasanne, which serves fish and chips as well as Indian dishes—ideal for easy meals after a day out walking or exploring. ## Property amenities ### Internet -
