This cottage is one of a pair of converted barn conversions, tucked away in the beautiful Suffolk countryside in the farmyard of Wolsey Farm close to the village of Yoxford. Yoxford is a pretty village with lots of amenities and close to the Suffolk Coast at Southwold, Walberswick, Dunwich and Aldeburgh. The grounds of the Wolsey Farm include 3 acres of grassland with a chicken run for our six chickens and visitors are welcome to walk in the grounds and soak up nature in the beautifully landscaped Prairie Garden.
Carefully restored to preserve the original character of the former cart lodge with hay loft above, Harrow is a semi-detached cottage with lots of natural light, stylish furnishings, cosy living area with a wood-burning stove and excellent kitchen/dining facilities.
On the first floor are two ensuite bedrooms: one has a double 5ft bed and ensuite bathroom with large walk-in shower and the second bedroom features zip and link beds (which can be made up as a double or twin) and ensuite with bath with shower over.
The cottage has ample parking and can be rented with Plough Cottage and/or The Cow Shed next door for larger family groups.
