East Lane Farm Barn is a Napoleonic-era timber-framed barn within Suffolk's "Heritage Coast" - a designated "Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty".

Situated less than a mile from the shore, also an internationally designated Ramsar Site, the barn is set in two thirds of an acre of land on the outskirts of the village of Bawdsey.

The barn has planning permission for conversion to a single residential dwelling. Consisting of two separate buildings, the main double height barn and a single storey annex, they have a combined floor area of around 4,000 square feet.

The property provides a unique opportunity to develop a substantial country home in a picturesque and historic setting.

The barn has stunning easterly views of the Suffolk coast, including several Napoleonic Martello Towers, and the south facing barn yard is a natural "sun-trap".

The area provides for a broad range of recreational pursuits including sailing, shore fishing, bird watching, horse riding, walking, cycling and golf.

Snape Maltings, the venue for the annual Benjamin Britten music festival, is seven miles north along the coast.

The barn is approximately two hours drive from central London, 25 miles from Ipswich and 12 miles south-east of Woodbridge on the A12. Woodbridge has direct rail links to London, with regular Inter-City connections from Ipswich to London's Liverpool Street taking around one hour.
