Renovated to a very high standard, this large old Suffolk barn stands detached within its own substantial grounds in the heart of the peaceful village of Thorndon. Exceptionally spacious, it is beamed throughout and offers a stunning holiday destination.Fantastic views can be seen from the farmhouse-style kitchen, and the particularly fine dining-room and lounge imparts a sense of grandeur to the house,and its underfloor heated flagstone floor and massive open fire mean you can dine or relax in style . Surrounding the area is a network of footpaths, where many pleasant walks can be enjoyed, and for cyclists, the quiet country lanes provide ample opportunities to explore a little further afield. A short drive away is Thornham Country Park, where the natural woodland provides a habitat for abundant wildlife that can be observed firsthand whilst taking a leisurely stroll. Nearby Framlingham, a sleepy village boasting a turreted castle and once the original seat of the Dukes of Norfolk, lies in an area which has become the centre of East Anglia's flourishing wine industry, and a number of local vineyards offer tours and tastings. For archaeological enthusiasts, Sutton Hoo provides an absorbing day out - now managed by the National Trust, this Anglo-Saxon burial site of Raedwald (King of East Anglia), was the place where priceless treasure was discovered within a huge ship grave.
