Iken, Near Aldeburgh, Suffolk
Style Brick and beamed barn conversion
Setting Suffolk farmland in the Suffolk Coast & Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
A large barn lovingly converted to create a really spacious family home and now available as holiday property for 6 people. The open-plan sitting room has doors opening on to a secluded suntrap terrace for the long summer evenings and a lovely coal burning stove for cooler nights. All windows look out over the garden and there are some wonderful views over the open fields to the Alde River, a stunning expanse of water with sandy beach, sailing boats and a rich diversity of wildlife, all just a few minutes walk from the house. The barn itself is high-spec but homely,a place to relax and spread out. Two minutes from Snape and ten from the coast at Aldeburgh and Orford.
Know what you're getting
House Style: Traditional Suffolk brick-constructed barn with large farmhouse kitchen, sitting room, ground and upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms - you will never be short of space.
Grounds: Well over half an acre of grassland and trees with terraces close to the house and a ditch with a tiny stream of water at the far end - which children will enjoy exploring. The garden is fenced and there is plenty of off road parking.
Ideal for: Two couples seeking space, peace and spectacular countryside. Walkers, cyclists, birdwatchers, musicians and concert goers will all adore this wonderful location. A quiet spot off the main tourist routes it is still just minutes from restaurants, pubs and of course Snape Maltings Concert Hall with its year round programme of musical and arts events. Yarn Hill Barn also makes the perfect family holiday home.
Children: They will adore the 'beach' at Iken, just a 20 minute walk from the barn. There are boat trips from Snape and crabbing and the castle at Orford 5- 10 minutes drive; the seaside town of Aldeburgh is just a 15-20 minute drive down the road. They can bring their bikes; the lane outside the barn is quiet and there are loads of opportunities for off road cycling within minutes of the barn. The barn is large enough for children to spread out their toys and games without ever getting under their parents' feet.
Packing tips: Bring your walking boots, binoculars, beach towels and 'bathers', cycling shorts, concert programme and camera.
Best beaches: Aldeburgh, Thorpeness and Southwold, for kids with the Swallows and Amazons spirit - Iken beach
Beat walks: Down the estuary at Iken and take the river path to Iken Church or in the other direction to Snape where you link up with the Sailors Path to Aldeburgh - stunning.
