This traditional Suffolk converted barn is set on a working farm in the small village of Sternfield and is a mile from the charming market town of Saxmundham, where you will find historic buildings, a busy high street lined with restaurants and cafes, and a market every Wednesday. Head to Minismere Nature Reserve (8 miles) for beautiful nature trails or to Snape Maltings (3 miles) for shops, galleries and the world-famous concert hall where Aldeburgh Music Festival is held. The picturesque seaside town of Aldeburgh itself is 6 miles away.
This property was once a two-storey cow barn with a hayloft above and retains old stud work posts and beams alongside modern comforts such as underfloor heating. The ground floor features 19th-century slate floors reclaimed from The Records Office in Chancery Lane, London, and the open-plan living area includes a comfortable lounge with a wood burner and a dining area for four people, as well as a kitchen and cloakroom. A staircase made from reclaimed wood leads to the first-floor landing. There are two comfortable bedrooms, one with a king-size Hypnos bed and the other with twin Hypnos beds. The bathroom features a corner shower and a separate bath.
French doors open from the sitting room onto a paved terrace with garden furniture, a parasol and your own private hot tub. The large garden beyond is shared with two other holiday cottages and is mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs. A shared games room includes shower facilities.
