Conveniently located between Stowmarket and Needham Market, this beautifully converted former stables offers a flexible and chic retreat for up to six guests. Dog-friendly, it sits within 4 acres of the owner's land and is an ideal base for exploring Mid Suffolk as a family or group of friends.

An open-plan living area welcomes you with a choice of comfortable seating and a Smart TV - setting the scene for relaxing evenings with family or friends. Patio doors and a double-height ceiling make this whole space light and airy. The on-trend kitchen will make meal preparation a breeze, and there's a large island with bar-style seating where food and drinks can be shared companionably. The ground floor features a king-size bedroom with views of the owner's horses, plus a well-appointed family bathroom with a walk-in shower, roll-top bath, double washbasins and - for the ultimate wow-factor - a Bluetooth mirror. Two more bedrooms, each with sloping ceilings, are off the galleried landing on the upper floor - a second king-size bedroom and a super-king-size zip-and-link bedroom that converts to a twin on request. Outside, a patio area with garden seating is the perfect spot for al fresco dining or drinks at sunset. Ample off-road parking is also available.

Stroll less than half a mile from the doorstep and Needham Market has friendly inns, eateries and convenience stores.
