Enjoy supreme comfort and relaxation in a peaceful countryside setting at this beautifully converted dairy barn near Bury St Edmunds. Located around a mile from the pretty village of Hartest, this two-bedroom hideaway is ideal for couples or a small family looking to savour quiet time together. The enclosed garden offers ample safe space for you to unwind in the fresh country air. And, as evening falls, you can look forward to bubble-filled soaks in the private hot tub under clear starry skies.
Set within the grounds of the owner’s home, with privacy assured, this rustic retreat expertly blends exposed beams and other original character features with all the comforts of modern living. On sunny afternoons, throw open the French doors in the stylish open-plan living space to let the outside in. In the farmhouse-style kitchen area, rustle up hearty breakfasts or simple suppers to share around the dining table, before settling into the lounge for a quiz night or your favourite show on the Smart TV. The two bedrooms, which both have en-suite bathrooms, sit at opposite ends of the property for added privacy. Do take care if you’re bringing a pet or young children as there is an open pond at the entrance to the driveway.
Take a trip to Lavenham (8 miles), one of the UK’s best-preserved medieval villages, to explore its striking timber-framed buildings, independent boutiques and cosy tearooms. The historic market town of Bury St Edmunds (9 miles) also has much to admire, from the tranquil abbey gardens to its top-rated culinary scene. If you’re looking for scenic walks or bike rides, head to Ickworth House, just 4 miles from the property, to follow trails through idyllic parkland and woodland.
