About this property
Leave the stress and strain of the modern world behind at this beautifully converted barn, which stands in picturesque countryside only 4 miles from the market town of Beccles. There’s room for two dogs at this family-friendly retreat, a haven for cyclists, walkers and water sports lovers, with its open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, spacious garden and easy access to Suffolk’s many natural attractions.
This charming country retreat stands off a quiet country lane between The Broads National Park and the Suffolk Coast & Heaths aonb. The barn’s traditional character is the backbone of its homely ambience; its bright, free flowing layout peppered with comfortable soft furnishings with room for everyone to unwind in comfort. Lose hours in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, whether over an indulgent meal, engrossed in a good book or catching up over a glass of fizz while the wood burner soothes tired limbs at the day’s end. The barn is brimming with practical features, such as a utility room, a shower room and a twin bedroom with ample storage space. A family bathroom and three versatile bedrooms await upstairs: an en-suite king-size bedroom, a second king-size bedroom and a second twin bedroom. Throw open the patio doors in the lounge for instant access to the enclosed garden, which is split between a patio perfect for BBQ suppers and a lawn where the children can race about with the dogs.
Take advantage of fantastic local transport links to move seamlessly between The Broads and the Suffolk Coast & Heaths aonb, home to some of England’s most awe-inspiring beaches, waterways and countryside. Beccles (4 miles) is wonderful for shopping and is dissected by the River Waveney, a main artery of The Broads and great for walks. The charms of Great Yarmouth, Norwich and Southwold can all be found within 18.5 miles.

Lovely barn in a beautiful location. Idyllic countryside. We spent every evening enjoying the garden as the weather was lovely.

We had a great week at Low Farm Barn in August. The cottage has great living space, good parking, a nice garden for pets (and children, I imagine), a well equipped kitchen, immediate access into countryside for walks, and was well situated for lots of places to visit. The cottage was clean and had good wifi, TV, and parking spaces for three cars. Beccles itself was charming and had good supermarkets etc. Plan for dealing with the configuration of bathrooms and only one shower, and bring your own pillows.
