Three bedroom barn conversion with stables and paddock near the towns of Beccles and Bungay
Three bedroom barn conversion with stables and three acre paddock in private but not remote location close to the Suffolk towns of Beccles and Bungay and 20 miles from the city of Norwich

Reclaimed materials have been used sympathetically in the conversion, with floorboards on most floors. The house has a welcoming and cosy feel in spite of the well-retained “barn” atmosphere.
There are numerous outbuildings, including original brick built stabling for up to four horses, a generous double garage, large former cattle shed, lean-to pole barn and an open fronted cart-shed used as a wood store.
A large gravel courtyard with a raised bed is to the south of the barn and there are lawned areas, a kitchen garden, small orchard with several established fruit trees, a “secret” garden with mature shrubs etc, a good sized wildlife pond and a paddock of approximately three acres.
The barn has considerable privacy without being too remote.
