Treat your loved ones to a countryside escape at this elegant barn conversion sitting in a complex of holiday homes on the outskirts of the peaceful village of Bramfield – just 3 miles from the market town of Halesworth. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms, it’s perfect for small families or groups who are in search of a peaceful rural base to call home while they explore the Suffolk coast together. Spend a day at RSPB Minsmere (8 miles), where you can follow the wetland trails and look out for bitterns, marsh harriers and otters from the hides. Alternatively, head to Dunwich (7.5 miles), once a thriving medieval port that has slowly been claimed by the sea, and take a bracing stroll along the beach. Further afield, make a beeline for Aldeburgh (16 miles) to admire the Tudor Moot Hall and tuck into fish and chips on the seafront.
Step inside and you’ll find a bright, open-plan living space, where timber trusses rise high overhead and a grand chandelier takes centre stage. The area is bathed in natural light and adorned in a soft grey colour palette. Whip up something tasty in the sleek kitchen, then gather everyone around the Scandinavian-chic dining table to enjoy a home-cooked feast. Afterwards, sink into the sofa beside the statement wood burner, or throw open the patio doors on warmer nights. When it’s time to turn in, retreat to the spacious super-king-size bedroom with its exposed brick feature wall, or the handy twin room. A smart family bathroom with a bath and a separate shower completes the elegant layout.
Step outside and you’ll discover a patio with stylish outdoor furniture and a BBQ, the perfect spot for al fresco suppers in the fresh country air. Countryside walking routes start right from your front door, and for a little friendly competition, you can challenge each other to a match on the shared tennis court. Private parking is available.
