Step inside this historic Suffolk house and barn conversion

With the help of grants from environment agencies, the Grade-II listed former grain barn has been converted into a magnificent space complete with a vast dining table for family parties.

The imposing entrance to the house, a carriage driveway and extra windows to the back of the house were all Georgian additions, which have engrandised the house.

Much of the furniture in the converted barn, with its gallery, exposed beams and brickwork, was undertaken by a local joiner. Find someone in your area with our Find a Tradesman tool.

Period features remain throughout the house, including some fine linenfold panelling in the hall.

The traditional country theme continues in the sitting room, with locally-bought, brown wood furniture lining the room, and a green sofa with embroidered cushions that epitomise laid-back country style.

In the kitchen, the dresser is filled with Turkish, Spanish and Italian china, adding to the eclectic, country style of this farmhouse.
