Message from the Owner
We had known the area for several years but had been unaware of this peaceful courtyard oasis hidden right in the heart of Snape Maltings. We fell in love with the property as soon as we entered The Courtyard!
The Courtyard is a private garden with mature fruit trees and lovely seating areas to enjoy a morning coffee or an early evening drink in the sunshine. No.9, being a conversion of the old Maltings building, retains character features in the vaulted living space whilst benefiting from modern conveniences such as underfloor heating. The living space opens out to a small terrace with fully opening bi-fold doors, with an outside seating area to enjoy.
There is so much to explore in and around Snape Maltings including some lovely shops, cafes, restaurants and some stunning walks. Located on the banks of the River Alde you are surrounded by nature but very close to Aldeburgh, Woodbridge and Orford. We think it is an ideal spot to take time to relax, unwind, and discover this beautiful part of Suffolk.
We hope you enjoy your stay!
The Location
Snape is a charming village located in Suffolk, about 5 miles inland from the coastal town of Aldeburgh. It sits along the River Alde, which winds through the surrounding countryside. The village has a rich history, with roots tracing back to Saxon times, and features traditional Suffolk architecture, including brick cottages and flint churches.
Snape Maltings, located just outside the village, is a renowned arts complex and cultural hub. Originally a Victorian-era maltings (where barley was processed for beer), it has been beautifully repurposed into galleries, shops, cafes, and a concert hall. The concert hall is home to the...
annual Aldeburgh Festival, founded by composer Benjamin Britten. Snape Maltings is a popular destination for art lovers, offering year-round music, exhibitions, and nature-inspired experiences.
The surrounding area is rich with natural beauty. The River Alde and its marshes attract birdwatchers and walkers, especially in the nearby RSPB North Warren Nature Reserve. To the east is the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), known for its diverse wildlife, heathlands, and charming coastal villages like Orford and Thorpeness. The region is perfect for walking, cycling, and exploring quiet, scenic landscapes.
