About this property

Beautifully Converted 16th Century Barn with wonderful Jacuzzi hot tub

This beautifully converted barn dating back to the 16th Century is located in Pages Green - a secluded part of the tranquil village - Wetheringsett.

Old Oak Barn is accessed through a chunky solid oak door with a natural stone entrance hall. Not only will barn enthusiasts get excited over the traditional, hand-crafted, Suffolk latched doors, timber floors, massive supporting beams and distinctive floor to ceiling windows flooding light into this open-plan living and dining space, but they will also note the warm, friendly and welcoming character of the building.

The living space features dimable designer lights, leather sofas and a hearty wood burning stove. The large bespoke kitchen boasts a beautiful stone floor, thick luxurious granite work tops, traditional butler sink, cosy corner breakfast area and all the high-end appliances you would expect from a quality barn conversion.

Wander up to the spacious galleried landing where you will find a large comfortable sofa providing the perfect spot to read a book, snooze OR marvel at the large period lantern suspended in the hall. Retreat to the master bedroom where you will discover the super king size oak four-poster bed and from here you can lie back and gaze up at the stars through the full height windows on a clear night! A further super king bedroom with en-suite can also be found on the ground floor. Scale the flight of oak stairs with oak and glass banisters to find a stylish 3rd bedroom with a king size bed and an en-suite before crossing the bridge to two further bedrooms both with super king beds ensuring all the guests get a good nights sleep!

Hi and Welcome to Old Oak Barn ....The photo shows the state the property was in when I first saw it and decided to take on the challenge of converting it into a beautiful dwelling!

Why they chose this property

I bought this barn as my family live a couple of villages away also in a converted barn, so with their experience and a good builder, it gave me comfort to turn it into something special and be closer to them when I turn my back on the hustle and bustle of London.

What makes this property unique

The Barn is a very special place hidden down a narrow country lane with few disturbances! Despite the frame being from the 16th century, it has all the facilities you would expect from a modern house but oozes character! You can enjoy a meal at the oak 10 seater trestle dining table, listen to your music on the fantastic sonos system or light a fire and sip a drink whilst staring at the flickering flames....it's up to you....The sleeping arrangements are such that you can have 5 double beds or switch 3 of the rooms into twins tailoring to the requirements of your group. If you would like to treat yourself to a hot tub during your stay, a purpose built patio area can also accommodate your needs - please let me know in advance of your booking if you would like to include a 5-6 person hot tub.
