This striking Suffolk barn conversion is in a tucked-away rural setting, on the edge of Rushmere St Andrew, yet convenient for the county town of Ipswich and for east Suffolk.
This barn conversion has panoramic views across the countryside of the Fynn Valley and there is easy access to a fine network of footpaths and bridleways into the valley too.

It could also be used as general rental/holiday letting space to produce an income for the owners.
