3 Bedroom Barn Conversion

A beautifully crafted conversion of a historic Suffolk barn, Starnacre Farm pairs the timeless appeal of period architecture with the comfort, efficiency and elegance of contemporary living, all set within an idyllic rural landscape. Approached along a private driveway that gently winds through open countryside, Starnacre Farm immediately conveys a sense of arrival. Originally dating back to the eighteenth century, the former agricultural barn has been transformed into an exceptional home of over 2,500 sq ft, where original character sits effortlessly alongside carefully considered modern design.

The centrepiece of the home is an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family space, created for both everyday living and entertaining on a grand scale. Beneath dramatic vaulted ceilings with exposed timbers, the bespoke Wren kitchen is beautifully appointed with quartz worktops, premium integrated appliances, a generous central island and handcrafted details that create a space as practical as it is striking. Whether hosting family celebrations or enjoying a quiet morning overlooking the gardens, it is a room designed to be lived in. Equally impressive is the expansive sitting room, where natural light pours through French doors and wide bi-folding doors that open directly onto the sheltered courtyard. The seamless connection between the interior and outside spaces creates an effortless flow, perfect for summer gatherings, evening drinks or simply embracing the tranquillity of the surrounding countryside.

The bedroom accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to provide both comfort and privacy. The principal suite enjoys direct access outside and benefits from fitted wardrobes together with a luxurious en-suite shower room, creating a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. Two further generous double bedrooms are served by an elegant family bathroom featuring a freestanding bath, large walk-in shower and quality contemporary fittings.

Outside, the central courtyard provides a wonderfully sheltered entertaining space, while the surrounding gardens offer endless potential to create formal landscaping, productive vegetable gardens or simply expansive lawns for children and pets to enjoy. A detached garage with electric roller door is complemented by an adjoining outbuilding with power and lighting, presenting an excellent opportunity for a home office, fitness studio, creative workspace or ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions.

Despite its wonderfully secluded setting, the property enjoys excellent access to both Bungay and Beccles, whilst the celebrated Suffolk Heritage Coast, with destinations including Southwold and Walberswick, is within easy reach. Norwich is readily accessible for commuting, education and air travel, making this an outstanding home for those seeking a balance between rural tranquillity and modern convenience.
Flixton. Nestled within the picturesque Waveney Valley, Flixton offers an enviable countryside lifestyle where rolling farmland, quiet lanes and open skies define the landscape. Despite its peaceful setting, the village enjoys excellent connectivity, with the historic market towns of Bungay and Beccles just a short drive away, providing an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, schooling and everyday amenities. For those drawn to the coast, the sandy beaches and vibrant atmosphere of Southwold are easily reached, while Norwich offers extensive shopping, cultural attractions, rail connections and an international airport. Whether exploring the surrounding countryside, enjoying riverside walks along the Waveney or discovering the renowned Suffolk coastline, Flixton is perfectly positioned to enjoy the very best of both town and country living.
