2 Bed in Hartest (oc-w42830)

Escape to the Suffolk countryside for a relaxing break at this beautifully converted dairy barn near Bury St Edmunds. Set within the grounds of the owner’s property, around a mile from the pretty village of Hartest, this pet-friendly hideaway is ideal for couples or a small family looking to slow down the pace a little. Take a trip to Lavenham (8 miles), one of the UK’s best-preserved medieval villages, known for striking timber-framed houses, independent boutiques and cosy tearooms. The historic market town of Bury St Edmunds (9 miles) offers its own charms too, from the tranquil abbey gardens to its top-rated culinary scene. For scenic walks or bike rides, head to the National Trust’s Ickworth House, just 4 miles from the property, and follow its trails through idyllic parkland and woodland, or try out the Wolf Way through Bury St Edmunds.


Set within the grounds of the owner’s home, with privacy assured, this rustic retreat expertly blends exposed beams and original character features with all the comforts of modern living to create an inviting farmhouse feel. The stylish open-plan living space is a fabulous spot to return to after days out exploring, and on sunny afternoons, you can throw open the French doors to let the outside in. In the kitchen area, rustle up hearty breakfasts or suppers to share around the dining table, before settling into the lounge area for a quiz night or your favourite show on the Smart TV. The two bedrooms sit at opposite ends of the property for added privacy. The super-king-size zip-and-link room – which can be arranged as a twin if preferred – features a sleek en-suite shower room, while the king-size room has its own bathroom with both a bath and a shower.


Outside, the enclosed garden offers ample space for you and any four-legged companions to unwind in the fresh country air. As evening falls, look forward to bubble-filled soaks in the private hot tub under clear starry skies. There is an open pond at the entrance to the driveway; please be mindful of young children and pets. With private parking available for two cars outside the property, heading out and about whenever you want is hassle-free.
