A medieval timber-framed building sitting on the church green at Clare, an unspoilt Suffolk market town. This welcoming and comfortable house exudes history.

Freston Tower is a six-storey Tudor folly that looks out over the River Orwell. There is a single room on each floor with the sitting room at the top to take advantage of the unrivalled views.

Nearly a million bricks were used in the construction of this Martello Tower; the largest and most northerly of a chain of towers put up to counter the threat of Napoleon.

Arriving at this thatched and timbered building on foot, the centuries fall away. Inside the late medieval walls survives a hall dating to 1250. The house is surrounded by Suffolk countryside.

With lodging rooms either side of a late-medieval hall, the New Inn was in use as an inn by 1478, today the open hall is ideal for dining and relaxation.

This Regency country house with great charm is deep in the Suffolk countryside. The well-stocked library, grand dining room and gracious bedrooms offer an elegant experience.
