Notes from the host
Old Oak Barn
This beautifully converted barn dating back to the 16th Century is located in Pages Green - a secluded part of the tranquil village - Wetheringsett.
Old Oak Barn is accessed through a chunky solid oak door with a natural stone entrance hall. Not only will barn enthusiasts get excited over the traditional, hand-crafted, Suffolk latched doors, timber floors, massive supporting beams and distinctive floor to ceiling windows flooding light into this open-plan living and dining space, but they will also note the warm, friendly and welcoming character of the building.
The living space features dimable designer lights, leather sofas and a hearty wood burning stove. The large bespoke kitchen boasts a beautiful stone floor, thick luxurious granite work tops, traditional butler sink, cosy corner breakfast area and all the high-end appliances you would expect from a quality barn conversion.
Wander up to the spacious galleried landing where you will find a large comfortable sofa providing the perfect spot to read a book, snooze OR marvel at the large period lantern suspended in the hall. Retreat to the master bedroom where you will discover the super king size oak four-poster bed and from here you can lie back and gaze up at the stars through the full height windows on a clear night! A further super king bedroom with en-suite can also be found on the ground floor. Scale the flight of oak stairs with oak and glass banisters to find a stylish 3rd bedroom with a king size bed and an en-suite before crossing the bridge to two further bedrooms both with super king beds ensuring all the guests get a good nights sleep!
