Doves Barn is a detached, Grade II listed barn, brimming with charm and character, dating back to the 16th century and boasting original oak beams and timeless charm, yet tastefully blended with modern day comforts. The vaulted ceiling is criss-crossed with exposed beams in the living room, where a large inglenook fireplace with wood burner provides a warm welcome.
There are eight bedrooms, including two gallery style bedrooms. There is ample space for guests to celebrate a special occasion, and yet still have the opportunity to enjoy the escape from everyday pressures of life, and simply sit and relax in the peaceful surroundings.
Situated within two acres of extensive grounds, Doves Barn offers spacious accommodation that is well furnished for comfort and enjoyment. Relax in the eight person hot tub or a large courtyard garden with a choice of three patios, just right for those al fresco dining opportunities. Whatever the season, Doves Barn will provide you and your guests with the warmest of welcomes.
The Barn is a perfect location, close to all the necessary amenities and an excellent base from which to explore the beautiful rolling countryside and unspoilt coastline. The area offers good bird watching, walking, and cycling opportunities.
Just one mile away is Needham Market, a small town, rich with its historic roots in the wool industry. Bury St. Edmunds is 19 miles away and is a shoppers’ paradise with an abundance of shops in its picturesque, medieval streets and elegant Georgian squares along with award-winning restaurants, fantastic annual festivals, family entertainment, stunning parks, cafés and a Georgian theatre.
