Grand Suffolk Barn Conversion

Summary:
CURATED PROPERTY PRESENTS: This striking barn conversion was featured in The Times ‘Best Holiday Houses for Groups in Britain’ feature in 2018. With six bedrooms and four bathrooms, the property can accommodate up to eleven guests - a wonderful option for family and friends looking to spend quality time together. The barn is just a three-minute walk from the delightful village of Chelsworth, yet has a remote feel with its countryside setting.

The Space:
Retaining its traditional beams and brickwork yet featuring a contemporary, stylish interior, this unusual barn conversion offers character in spades. The property takes advantage of the contours of the hill on which it was built, with several sunken garden areas giving outside space to three of the barn’s four floors.

Double doors lead from the drive to the entrance area, giving access to a cloakroom, laundry room and storage cupboards. The long sloping corridors open up to stairs leading into the vast open-plan living area with its spacious and well-equipped kitchen. Those who enjoy hosting will be in their element, with the kitchen and dining area catering for up to 14 people.

The large and luxurious sitting room offers an intimate space for after-dinner socialising or relaxing with a glass of wine in front of the TV. Sofas, chairs, and a large Smart TV adorn the area, with double doors open onto the terrace - perfect for those balmy summer evenings.

A further corridor leads to the ground floor bedroom. This extensive room benefits from a sitting area, french doors and a small balcony overlooking the tranquil fields. There is a bath with an overhead rainfall shower in the ensuite bathroom - ideal for relaxing after a hard day of exploring. Upstairs on the first floor are three bedrooms and a family bathroom with an additional set of stairs leading to the second-floor primary bedroom. This bedroom also has an ensuite bathroom and dressing room. There are lovely views of the surrounding meadows and fields from most windows. Bedroom six is located in the basement and has a circular spa bath and ensuite cloakroom with w.c and basin.

On finer days, the large, fully enclosed garden provides the perfect spot to enjoy the outdoors. Fire up the barbeque and enjoy al fresco dining in the picture-perfect surroundings.

Guest Access:
Guests will have exclusive access to the whole barn.

The Neighborhood:
The beautiful village of Chelsworth is famous for its outstanding gardens and ancient houses, many built before the 17th century. Home to around only 70 properties, the village dates back to 962 AD and has remained almost unchanged for the last 200 years. The village pub, ‘The Peacock’, is well known and delightful to spend an evening in.

Chelsworth is located midway between the mediaeval towns of Lavenham and Melford, both offering a wonderful day out with plenty of shops, cafes and art galleries to peruse.

Getting Around:
The property has a private driveway with enough parking space for at least five cars. Transport options in the local area are limited, so bringing a car is highly recommended. The barn is located along a byway of Chelsworth’s main street.

The village, village shop and charming local pub are only a short three-minute walk away from the barn.

Other Things to Note:
Up to two dogs are welcome to stay with you at the barn.

The ground floor and primary bedrooms have no doors separating the main room from the ensuite facilities. The basement bedroom has a curtain separating the spa bath from the main bedroom.

Wi-Fi, bed linen and towels are provided. Charcoal for the barbeque is also provided.

Guests are advised that the main staircase within the property has no handrail and is open to one side. Guests are therefore asked to be advised to watch children and any who may be unsteady on their feet.
