Sitting in the idyllic village of Middleton, this postcard-pretty barn conversion is the perfect spot for discovering this part of Suffolk's coast and countryside. Combining authentic rural character with modern comforts, this home is an idyllic base for exploring the market town of Saxmundham – with its quaint teahouses and bistro pubs – and ambling the coastal paths with your furry companion. Beautifully renovated, you’ll find crisp white walls, wooden floors, carefully curated furnishings and thoughtful artworks sitting beneath the barn’s original beams. Curl up in the living room by the crackling fire and your new read, prepare intimate dinners in the sleek kitchen and choose to eat inside at the bar or out in the garden, surrounded by a wild meadow. After a day walking the coastal trails and bird-spotting on the wetlands on RSPB Minsmere, you’ll love coming home to your rural sanctuary and falling blissfully asleep in the soft sheets of your super-king-sized bed.
