Granary Barn is in an enviable position approached over a long drive through private land leading to your own gated driveway with ample parking in the enclosed courtyard area.
Two enclosed courtyard gardens with rattan dining furniture (seating 10) offer a choice of places for you to relax with a good book, or dine al fresco making use of the gas BBQ (gas provided). There are a number of public footpaths on the doorstep, but please do not go through any gates and trespass on other land, and for your own safety, do not disturb any farm animals.
LOCATION
This stunning holiday home is in the village of Base Green near Wetherden, just a mile from Haughley where you’ll find a beautiful country estate open to the public for special events, and a family friendly pub. The nearby Market Town of Stowmarket offers a range of shopping and leisure facilities as well as mainline railway station to London Liverpool Street. There are also good road links to all points of the compass including Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge and Ipswich via the A14.
Please note that the key selling point for this house, the owners of the estate, and the neighbours, is the peaceful location, so please keep noise to a minimum at all times and particularly after 10pm. The Barn is ideal for family holidays and reunions, or quiet country escapes. Corporate/contractor bookings, over occupancy and parties are strictly forbidden and breach of these terms will terminate the booking.
The owners are happy for you to bring your pets to stay at their holiday home but we do restrict to a maximum of two well behaved dogs and no puppies. Dogs are only allowed on tiled surfaces in the house and must not enter carpeted areas (living room or bedrooms). Please do not allow dogs on any furniture.
When outside dogs MUST be kept on a lead to avoid them trespassing on other land or bothering the animals on the estate.
