Five-bed barn conversion near Beccles for sale at OIEO £1m

Twin Oaks Barn is a detached red brick property that was converted in 1994 to form a 3,148 sq ft family home.

It is currently on the market with Fine & Country, which described the property as “a rare opportunity to embrace peaceful rural living”.

The agent added: “Springwatch would find this a great location to film too with barn owls, fox, deer, hare and birds all in residence, and with veggie patch, chickens and fruit trees, this beautiful spot really is a slice of ‘the good life.’”

The entrance porch leads directly into a hallway with access to a study on one side and an opening into the impressive sitting/dining room, which has “huge vaulted ceilings”, exposed beams and a grand red brick fireplace with multi-fuel burner.

Double doors surrounded by full-height windows allow in lots of natural light and open on to a decking area.
