Inside

The barn’s inviting entrance welcomes you with tall vaulted ceilings and whitewashed walls, giving the room a fresh, airy atmosphere, while large windows flood the space with natural light. A cosy sitting area, anchored by a stylish woodburning stove, invites you to curl up with a book or settle in for a family movie night. The kitchen is a showstopper, deep blue cabinetry contrasts beautifully with bright white worktops, and a central breakfast bar invites morning chats over coffee.

Two spacious bedrooms offer peaceful sanctuaries after a day of adventure. The elegant king-size bedroom features rich green walls, calming décor, and a sleek, modern en-suite with walk-in shower. The twin room, perfect for kids or friends, continues the green-accent theme and also includes its own en-suite for ultimate convenience and privacy.

Dine alfresco beneath Suffolk skies with the barbecue sizzling and a drink in hand, while the lawn invites children to run barefoot or guests to unwind with a book in the sun.
