Retire in Style to Hasells Courtyard A well presented two bedroom cottage with garage and garden. The property is located on a purpose-built retirement development for the over 55s.

Management services are provided by Cognatum Estates, a not-for-profit organisation and one of the UK's leading companies in retirement housing.

The buildings are in a traditional Suffolk style, with finely-detailed brick, rendered elevations and pantile roofs.

Long Melford, with its long high street and thatched houses, is well known for its antique shops and also has plenty of good restaurants, hotels and a good-sized supermarket.

Its famous village green is only a short walk from the estate, as is one of the country's finest parish churches, the Church of the Holy Trinity, with its Lady Chapel and almshouses.

The village’s historic wealth, generated by the wool trade, is emphasised by its having two stately homes: Kentwell Hall, a moated Tudor mansion, and Melford Hall, a fine Elizabethan house, both open to the public and host to many interesting events during the year.

Nice walks are plentiful, with footpaths criss-crossing the surrounding fields, and there are two local golf clubs.

The large towns of Bury St Edmund's, Ipswich and Colchester are also only a short drive away.
