Balancing Barn

Located at the end of a private tree-lined lane, Balancing Barn is set in 6 acres of gardens and surrounded by 138 acres of Suffolk Wildlife Trust land. Within easy reach of local towns and the coast, it is the perfect setting for a holiday or long weekend away. With a large fully-equipped open plan kitchen/dining room at one end of the Barn, connected to an equally generous sitting room at the other, guests have plenty of space to experience all that this remarkable house has to offer. The creatively designed interiors and flexibility of space, allow for sliding back the large full height windows to open up the house to the garden. Whether eating on the terrace or around the outdoor fire pit, just strolling in the gardens, or whiling away a few hours reading a book in a far off hidden corner, there is much here to please everyone who comes to stay. The more energetic can relive childhood memories on the swing suspended at the far end of the 15-metre-long cantilever, as can the children, if given the chance… In the cooler months, retreat to the large sitting room; light the wood burner, relax, choose from a selection of books, listen to music, or just enjoy a real sense of being suspended in space as you look out through large windows set into the floor, roof and walls onto the garden, nature reserve and sky. At night, enjoy the comfort and privacy of each of the thoughtfully designed bedrooms, with their solid oak handmade furniture, and fall asleep to the feint murmurings of the surrounding fauna. Balancing Barn is fully equipped to allow you, your family and friends, to have a memorable and inspiring break, in this much revered modern home.
