4 Bedroom Cottage in Ipswich, Hadleigh
The Old Barn is nestled in the extensive grounds of Dove House, a stunning example of a classic 14th Century timber-framed and plastered Suffolk Hall. As part of a centuries old working farm that has evolved into an equestrian stud, the barn was originally used for threshing and has been sympathetically converted to create a wonderfully rustic and cosy farmhouse. With great living space, views and easy access to the beautiful rolling countryside of the Brett Valley, The Old Barn is a brilliant base for exploring Suffolk or for simply relaxing and splashing around in a large swimming pool.
