Based on the Broxtead Estate in Suffolk, this barn conversion is one of three - all surrounded by a shared lawn, grassland and woodland. With just one luxurious bedroom and a vast living area, it is the perfect bolthole for a couple looking to get away from it all. The barn is set in 2,000 acres of meadows, forests, and ancient heathland, all of which is rarely visited by the public. It is therefore a nature lover and walker’s dream. For times when you need a little bit more life, Woodbridge is just 7 miles away with plenty of pubs, shops, and restaurants. Orford is close by too at just 12 miles, with its own ancient castle as well as places to eat dotted around its market square. Plus, there’s the Orford Ness Nature Reserve (14 miles) which is accessed by boat.
Inside, guests will be hit by a real wow factor. The barn has been renovated sensitively - leaving plenty of its original beams and features in place. The ground floor is one large, open-plan living space. In the kitchen section, guests will find all they need to cook tasty meals, while the dining area has a table with four chairs. The living area has a sofa and armchairs which are perfect for kicking back to relax while watching TV as well as French doors to the property’s terrace. On the first floor, the stairs lead directly into the most fantastic, spacious bedroom with a king-size bed and a door to the property’s balcony. The pitched roof exposes the building’s timber frame and along with the exposed brick and carefully selected furniture, the room feels romantic and inviting. The bathroom has its own roll-top bath set under the eaves. for soaking away the tiredness.
The terrace for the property has a table and chairs for guests to use from which you can enjoy lovely views. While the rest of the gardens are shared, they are so large that guests will not ever feel like they are being interrupted or intruding on others. Guests can also use the wider estate’s barns with table tennis area and bike storage. Beyond that, there is a 2,000-acre estate brimming with wildlife.
