Granary Barn

New to the market for 2021, this single storey self-catering holiday home tucked in a secluded, but not isolated, spot of rural Suffolk, retains a wealth of original features combined with modern appliances and stylish furnishings. You know you’re arriving at somewhere special when you enter down a long drive through the estate and step into the reception hall of this exceptionally spacious barn conversion. Natural light floods the reception hall through glazing overlooking both courtyard gardens then leads through to the equally impressive beamed and vaulted kitchen/breakfast room with underfloor heating.

The generous sitting room is a great place to be at any time of the year, opening onto a courtyard for indoor/outdoor living in the summer and, during the cooler months, snuggle up on the comfy sofas and enjoy the wood burning stove set in the massive recess (actually being installed at the end of September). Three of the bedrooms are close to the living room with the fourth off the reception hall with ensuite bathroom, all are equally well furnished. All four bedrooms are a good size, three with king size beds (two with ensuite bathrooms) and one with twin truckle beds (sleeping up to 4).

Granary Barn is set on a private estate surrounded by open countryside with wonderful views and several softly undulating footpaths from the doorstep. Haughley is the closest village with a family friendly pub just a mile away. If you’re looking for a little adventure, the picturesque Suffolk coast, Bury St Edmunds, Go Ape in Thetford, Haughley Park and the Museum of East Anglian Life are well worth a visit.

The Space:
The house is an interesting shape as you can see from the floorplan, but flows very well. While it’s single storey there are a few internal steps. The front door takes you into a reception hall with the kitchen/breakfast room straight ahead (utility room off to the left) and living room, main bedrooms and bathrooms off to the right. There’s also access to a lovely secure and secluded courtyard which gets the full day’s sun. The barn welcomes well behaved dogs and is well placed to do so with plenty of tiled space, secure garden gates and walks immediately on the doorstep.

UTILITY ROOM
Equipped with a washer/dryer and extra fridge/freezer and there’s a cloakroom conveniently off this room.

KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM
The kitchen has units wrapping around three walls housing a butler sink, a Range Master electric oven and hob, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, microwave and coffee machine. Cupboards are well stocked with crockery, glassware and cooking equipment. There is a large dining table, comfortably seating 8 and a breakfast bar with three stools.

SITTING ROOM
Accessed through an inner hallway with doors from here to the other bedrooms and the second courtyard. Large sofas, reading chair and soft seating make this an extremely comfortable space. There are adult and family books, games, puzzles and toys for children.

BEDROOMS
Three of the bedrooms plus a family bathroom are accessed off an inner hallway off the living room.
The main bedroom at the end has a king size bed and its own ensuite shower room comprising a quadrant shower cubicle, low flush wc, vanity wash handbasin, heated towel rail and tiled walls.
Two other bedrooms have a king and twin truckle beds.
The family bathroom comprises an impressive centrally set bath with
mixer taps, quadrant tiled double width shower cubicle, low flush wc, pedestal wash handbasin, heated towel rail and tiled walls.
The fourth bedroom can be accessed off the main reception hall and also has an impressive ensuite bathroom, shower over the bath, wash handbasin, heated towel rail and low flush wc.

OUTSIDE
Granary Barn is in an enviable position approached over a long drive leading to your own gated driveway and then to the enclosed courtyard area which provides ample parking. Two enclosed courtyard gardens with rattan dining furniture (seating 10) offer a choice of places for you to relax with a good book, or dine al fresco making use of the gas BBQ (gas provided).

LOCATION
This stunning holiday home is in the village of Base Green near Wetherden, just a mile from Haughley where you’ll find a beautiful country estate open to the public for special events, and a family friendly pub. The nearby Market Town of Stowmarket offers a range of shopping and leisure facilities as well as mainline railway station to London Liverpool Street. There are also good road links to all points of the compass including Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge and Ipswich via the A14.
