Description

A truly exceptional 17th century red brick barn conversion with beautifully presented self-contained annexe, positioned within the heart of Sweffling, offering a rare blend of character, flexibility and lifestyle living.

Discreetly positioned behind gates and set around a sheltered walled courtyard garden, Poplar Farm Barn has been thoughtfully converted to create a home full of warmth, charm and practicality, whilst retaining a wealth of original features including exposed timbers, vaulted ceilings and a magnificent inglenook fireplace.

The principal barn offers beautifully balanced accommodation throughout. Entry is via a glazed entrance porch leading into a welcoming hallway and onwards into the stunning sitting room, centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove creating a superb focal point for the home.

Further ground floor accommodation includes an open-plan snug and dining area with staircase rising to the first floor, together with a farmhouse-style kitchen fitted with quality units and benefitting from underfloor heating. A cloakroom and separate utility room complete the ground floor layout.

To the first floor, a striking galleried landing provides access to three generous bedrooms, two enjoying en-suite facilities, alongside a separate family bathroom. The upper floor is particularly impressive with exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and excellent natural light throughout.

In addition to the main residence is Courtyard Cottage, a beautifully presented and fully self-contained annexe currently utilised as a furnished holiday let, offering excellent income potential, guest accommodation or multi-generational living flexibility.

The annexe comprises an open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting room with wood-burning stove, two bedrooms and a modern shower room. The kitchen area is fitted with integrated appliances including oven, microwave, ceramic hob and dishwasher.

Externally, the property is approached through gates into a private enclosed courtyard offering parking for multiple vehicles. The grounds are attractively arranged with a mixture of paved seating areas and planted borders creating a low-maintenance yet highly attractive setting.

A substantial range of outbuildings further enhance the property including a double garage and workshop with roller shutter doors, a separate brick-built barn/store and a dedicated office/study, ideal for home working.

The principal barn further benefits from air source heating together with 15 solar panels, a 13.5 kWh Tesla battery storage system and an EV charger, helping combine period character with modern energy efficiency.

Occupying a peaceful yet accessible rural position, Sweffling lies conveniently for Saxmundham, Framlingham and Woodbridge, whilst offering excellent access towards the Suffolk Heritage Coast.

A rare opportunity to acquire an outstanding Suffolk barn conversion with annexe, lifestyle flexibility and exceptional character throughout.
