Grand Suffolk Barn Conversion
Barn in Chelsworth, United Kingdom
The space
Retaining its traditional beams and brickwork yet featuring a contemporary, stylish interior, this unusual barn conversion offers character in spades. The property takes advantage of the contours of the hill on which it was built, with several sunken garden areas giving outside space to three of the barn’s four floors.Double doors lead from the drive to the entrance area, giving access to a cloakroom, laundry room and storage cupboards. The long sloping corridors open up to stairs leading into the vast open-plan living area with its spacious and well-equipped kitchen. Those who enjoy hosting will be in their element, with the kitchen and dining area catering for up to 14 people.
The large and luxurious sitting room offers an intimate space for after-dinner socialising or relaxing with a glass of wine in front of the TV. Sofas, chairs, and a large Smart TV adorn the area, with double doors open onto the terrace - perfect for those balmy summer evenings.
A further corridor leads to the ground floor bedroom. This extensive room benefits from a sitting area, french doors and a small balcony overlooking the tranquil fields. There is a bath with an overhead rainfall shower in the ensuite bathroom - ideal for relaxing after a hard day of exploring. Upstairs on the first floor are three bedrooms and a family bathroom with an additional set of stairs leading to the second-floor primary bedroom. This bedroom also has an ensuite bathroom and dressing room. There are lovely views of the surrounding meadows and fields from most windows. Bedroom six is located in the basement and has a circular spa bath and ensuite cloakroom with w.c and basin.
On finer days, the large, fully enclosed garden provides the perfect spot to enjoy the outdoors. Fire up the barbeque and enjoy al fresco dining in the picture-perfect surroundings.

We enjoyed our stay at the barn but the house needs quite a bit of TLC. We had a lot of problems with the heating. The house was freezing when we arrived. The Underfloor heating only worked in some of the man barn space and we were very cold at times. We we had to buy a blow heater. Also the UFH only partly work in the principle bedroom. The heating was impossible to regulate in ground floor bedroom. The Oven worked intermittently which was a real problem. Also the dryer didn't dry properly. A lot of bulbs / lamps didn't appear to work and in general the lighting the house was not straightforward. The front door had to be locked at all times when we were in the house as it regularly opened of its own accord when left unlocked. Many of the cupboard doors did not shut properly and, like the front door just opened of their own accord. The large glass doors in the main barn, opposite the dining table were in bad condition, did not shut properly and were difficult to lock.

Curated Property as hosts were very responsive and helpful The barn had wonderful views and it was in a lovely village. We were a group of 7 women who found that the ground floor and top floor bedrooms were well set-up. The 3 bedrooms on the middle floor were very lacking in spaces to store clothing and other belongings . Two of the rooms had lovely large beds but that left little space for anything else. Only having 2 showers in the house was a drawback for us. Both were in ensuite bedrooms. Overall, we had a fantastic time there but some of the bedrooms could be better equipped.

The Grand Barn is a stunning and dramatic location, it’s very large and yet the space works well with an excellent kitchen and spacious dining and sitting areas. There was a very generous selection of local artisan food on our arrival and al the bedrooms were well prepared. The biggest shortcoming was in the bathrooms which had stylish baths but only one proper shower between 10 people. The baths did have hand held showers but using these required getting into the bath/jacuzzi which older people can find difficult. Aside from that the house was very well stocked with interesting books and games as well as plenty of glasses and crockery. There were also lots of basics in the kitchen and comprehensive equipment. All in all it was a great location for our reunion and we enjoyed exploring the lovely Suffolk countryside.

The barn was perfect for our getaway: we had a group of seven adults and three children and we loved having the space to host, cook, watch films, play games - all in one great space. Bedrooms are spacious, and all linens, cookware, supplies were provided. The welcome hamper on arrival was also a lovely touch - thank you!
