This contemporary barn conversion is located in a pretty Suffolk village and is ideal for taking a stroll through the countryside made famous by the paintings of John Constable. The family-friendly home is situated in a complex of properties with its own enclosed garden, suitable for dogs, which affords you views of the paddocks and farmland beyond. The property has two bedrooms which comfortably provide sleeping accommodation for four family members and their two pooches.

The open-plan interior of this property is low maintenance, with brick flooring that makes wiping up muddy pawprints a doddle. Pups are also sure to appreciate the free-standing wood burner in the lounge area, which is guaranteed to take the chill off any evening and can add a romantic touch to an evening for two. For larger groups, you can also rent the adjoining barn which can be accessed via interconnecting doors, sleeping parties of up to six people. A contemporary kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need for holiday dining, including a dishwasher to take the effort out of washing up.

This cottage sits on the edge of Dedham Vale, which is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. For those looking to explore the local area, you’ll find a myriad of walking and cycling tracks joining the quaint wool towns and villages nearby, each with their own independent shops and antique stores. Historic Colchester can be found just 11 miles away, which has the honour of being named the first Roman town ever recorded. Elements of the colonisation remain here, with the original Roman walls forming part of a local walking trail.

A lovely converted contemporary barn in beautiful location. The wood burner is fabulous. We felt that the TV was far too small for the living room and the seating is not enough for 4 people - more suited to couples. The outside space is lovely but not private from the barn directly next door. If these things were rectified we would definitely stay Read moreagain. Hide
