About this property
1 bedroom accommodation in Carlton, near Saxmundham
Tranquilly set in the countryside, this perfect retreat for two is also within easy reach of the coast for a day by the sea.. 1 step to entrance.

Open plan living space.
Living area: 42" Freeview Smart TV, DVD Player, Bluray Player, CD Player, Woodburner, Patio Doors To Courtyard

Small courtyard garden with patio, garden furniture and barbecue. 1 small dog welcome. Electric vehicle charging point, at cost. Private parking for 1 car. No smoking.. A perfect getaway location for a couple, Chick Hatch Barn is a beautifully restored barn nestling deep in the Suffolk countryside. A cosy beamed living area with a wood burner opens out onto the patio from where there are sweeping views over the fields. Sympathetically renovated, and standing detached, it lies on the owners’ working sheep and beef farm, close to the historic market towns of Framlingham and Saxmundham, and offers a great holiday base from which to enjoy good cycling and walking. The Suffolk Heritage Coast is close by and Aldeburgh, Thorpeness and Southwold are all within easy reach.
