Step inside this historic Suffolk house and barn conversion

This six-bedroom Tudor farmhouse has been in the family for five generations, and has been constantly added to over the years.

1/8 Dining hall

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.

2/8 Front facade

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.

3/8 Galleried barn

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.

4/8 Panelled walls

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

5/8 Sitting room

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.

6/8 Kitchen

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

7/8 Walk-in china cupboard

Keeping orginal features and restoring them to their former glory was important to the owners. Here, a Georgian walk-in china cupboard is still in use.

8/8 Home office

The work-space in the bedroom, is brimming with treasured collections, found objects, and historic photographs displayed on every surface in a relaxed style.
