This beautifully converted old granary, situated in the countryside just outside the village of Sotterley, is about quintessentially English as it gets. Here, you can spend precious time with your loved ones and admire the natural beauty of this setting. As soon as you walk in, you'll feel this home’s storied past with its original beams, timber-clad walls and charming period features. The contemporary whitewashed living room with its log-burning fire is the perfect setting for a cosy night in – especially after a long day walking the local trails. The heart of the home is the sleek and modern, country-style kitchen – perfect for whipping up indulgent English breakfasts and for socialising long into the late morning around the farmhouse table. On brighter days, you’ll want to open up the French doors to the patio and dine under the early afternoon sun overlooking the blooming garden. There are endless walks you can head out on here, ideal if your furry companion is joining you. You’re within a short driving distance of Southwold and its award-winning pier, as well as the nearby market town of Beccles. If you’re seeking National Trust treasures, you can reach the historic house of Somerleyton and the stunning castles Bungay and Framlingham.
