This isn’t just a pretty hayloft. It’s a pretty hayloft surrounded by a patchwork of pastoral loveliness, on the edge of an idyllic village just five miles from the coast. Inside the thatched barn, gnarly wooden beams sit comfortably alongside dainty furnishings, giving this place a rustic-but-romantic feel. It’s a cosy home for two with a cute patio and colossal communal garden. Sit yourself outside for morning coffee in the sunshine, or a glass of rosé in the evening. The picturesque village of Snape is known for Snape Maltings, with its concert hall, indy shops, galleries and eateries. This home is well-placed for walking and country pubs, as well as exploring the beautiful Suffolk coast and countryside nearby. Aldeburgh, Orford, Dunwich, Walberswick and Southwold are all within a half-hour drive.
