Every inch of this stunning thatched barn set in the Suffolk countryside has been meticulously restored by master craftsmen using centuries-old techniques to create the perfect romantic retreat or solo escape. Step inside and prepare to be wowed by the open-plan living room and kitchen, with a comfy seating area, gas fire and farmhouse-style kitchen beneath a soaring double-height ceiling with the exposed original timber frame on show. Vast floor-to-ceiling windows ensure that there's plenty of natural light alongside views over the lovely garden. Climb the open staircase up to the mezzanine floor to find an inviting bedroom and reading area where you're free to relax and unwind at any time of day or night. In the enclosed gardens, you'll find outdoor seating to make the most of long summer evenings and alfresco meals, a fire pit to gather around once the sun has set, and a 'cocoon' hanging from one of the trees. Lovers of outdoor games will find badminton, boules and croquet sets that can be set up on the lawn.
