This superb barn conversion would make an ideal destination for families or groups of friends, while your canine companion will love the safely enclosed garden. It’s located in the tranquil village of Hawkedon and has fabulous country views.
The ground floor of this beautifully restored barn has been opened up to create an all-in-one living space, with a fitted kitchen flowing through to a generous dining area and then the lounge, where squishy sofas are gathered around the wood burner and Smart TV. There’s even space for a small desk at one end of the room. With underfloor heating and carefully coordinated colours, it’s an elegantly welcoming space for you to make yourselves at home. A twin bedroom and a separate shower room with a WC are also set on the ground floor, while the other two bedrooms, both king-size, are upstairs. Very spacious, they have characterful exposed beams, high, sloping ceilings and ample storage. One has a Smart TV and its own en-suite shower room, while the other uses a beautiful bathroom with a period-style, roll-top bath. The enclosed garden has a lawn that’s perfect for sniffing around and chasing tails, while the humans watch from the seating area and enjoy the fresh air and stunning views.
Hawkedon is a quintessential Suffolk village with timber-framed cottages around a village green, and a welcoming 15th-century pub serving excellent food and drink. Stroll the footpaths to neighbouring villages or drive to the National Trust’s idyllic Ickworth, 8 miles, where dogs are welcome in the parkland, woodland and at Porter’s Lodge café, the ideal place to start or finish your walk. Historic Bury St Edmunds is only 9 miles away, and the beautiful wool towns of Lavenham, Clare and Long Melford are all within 10 miles.
