Description

Ideally situated in the pretty village of Brome, in north Suffolk, Crawfords is a beautifully converted former timber-framed stable barn dating back to the late 18th century. The conversion has been carried out with great flair preserving the period character with a superb contemporary finish.

The accommodation flows remarkably well with a tremendous double height sitting / dining room which is a real feature of the house. This creates a superb entertaining space with exposed beams and studwork and French windows opening out to the garden. To one side lies a large kitchen and shower room completing the ground floor.

Upstairs are two characterful bedrooms, the master benefiting from double doors opening out and overlooking the sitting room.

The gardens are a particular feature of the house and are west facing with a terrace bordering the barn, perfect of al fresco dining. The gardens beyond are laid to lawn surrounded by mature hedges giving a private and sunny garden.
