Set within the quiet hamlet of Ringsfield, 3 miles from the lively market town of Beccles, this beautifully restored barn conversion makes an excellent base for families discovering the best of Suffolk together. With access to a heated swimming pool and tennis court, there’s something for everyone at this home away from home.
Inside, the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area forms the heart of the property, where bespoke cabinetry, marble worktops and a traditional brick floor set a striking scene. The generous dining table invites long, sociable meals, while the lounge area at the far end is arranged with deep sofas, a Smart TV and a wood burner that creates a cosy backdrop for evenings in. Practical touches include a boot room with plenty of storage and a utility area with a washing machine and tumble dryer. Sleeping arrangements are equally considered, with three inviting bedrooms each benefiting from their own en-suite facilities: a ground-floor king-size room with a private lounge area and Smart TV, plus two super-king-size zip-and-link bedrooms upstairs to suit a range of group needs. French doors lead out to the garden, where the gravel terrace is softened with planting and arranged for leisurely breakfasts or evening dining outdoors. Beyond, the property truly stands out, with access to the owners’ heated outdoor swimming pool, pool house and outdoor kitchen, a tennis court complete with Pimm’s bar and facilities, and a sunken trampoline overlooking open countryside. Private parking for three cars ensures an effortless stay from start to finish.
From here, follow riverside paths along the River Waveney, launch a boat, or head to the coast for days on golden sands at Southwold (12 miles) and Walberswick (13 miles). Beccles itself brims with character, home to independent shops, welcoming cafes and a bustling weekly market. The surrounding area is rich in nature reserves, gentle cycling routes and well-regarded pubs and restaurants celebrating local, seasonal produce.
