About this property
Large immaculate conversion - The Milking Parlour
A large, immaculate and stylishly converted old farm building set in calm and gentle rolling Suffolk countryside. A high wooden beamed vaulted ceiling and perfectly polished real oak Parquet floor throughout creates a precision, organic and rural feel to this luxurious space. From large folding doors both the kitchen/dining area and bedroom face into a private terraced and lawned west-facing courtyard with views over the adjacent field to create the ultimate in-out dynamic. With doors closed, heating on and log burner lit, The Milking Parlour becomes the perfect snug to retreat to after exploring the astonishing variety of the nearby Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Ground Floor
Kitchen & Dining Area – Through the front door is the dining area with a beech wood dining table and four matching chairs with views through the large folding doors. Adjacent is a fully equipped modern kitchen with island and three bar stools, electric oven and hob, dishwasher, full sized fridge freezer, kettle and toaster.
Utility Room – Separate washing sink, storage, washing machine and pully drying rack clothes airer.
Seating Area – Matching sofa and arm chair are orientated around a brick fireplace and chimney breast flanked by tall windows with views over the garden. A modern log burner throws out buckets of heat next to a 32” Smart TV in the corner.
Bathroom – Large freestanding bath, walk-in power-shower, double hand basins and lavatory.
Bedroom – King-sized bed with matching bedside tables against a freestanding internal wall behind which is a wardrobe and dressing table with mirror.
Outside
Wood Fired Hot Tub – Available 365 days a year, this fantastic modern designed KolKol wood fired hot tub heats up far faster than conventional wood-fired tubs via a stainless steel stove. Perfect for alfresco soaking in all seasons. PLEASE NOTE: this wood fired hot tub has a wonderful organic off-grid feel, though unlike electric ones it doesn’t work instantly (there is no flick of a switch!) and it doesn’t have jets. It requires regular feeding with wood and stirring and takes a couple of hours to get to temperature depending on how warm or cold the ambient air is, though it’s fun to use and is very relaxing. There is an additional charge for its usage that is arranged after a booking is made and within two weeks of check-in (details will be shared). For weekend or midweek stays the usage charge including a full clean and the provision of sufficient special briquettes (approximately 35) is £99 with each subsequent day being £33 which includes approximately 10 further briquettes (a full week charge being £198). Only supplied briquettes to be used, and if more are required they can be provided for approximately £1 each.
Courtyard Garden – A neatly laid lawn has paving on two sides and a raised railway sleeper flowerbed on a third. In one corner are two reclinable chairs, a small table, some potted olive trees. Being west facing the courtyard captures the light until sunset and provides views over meadow and surrounding countryside beyond.
EV Charger – Located behind the Milking Parlour and available on request.
