1 Bed Cottage in Barrow

About this property

This impressive holiday escape, completed in 2026, offers generous space for one or two guests, and welcomes four-pawed friends, too. It’s located within a boutique complex of similar properties on a working farm just outside the lovely village of Barrow, where you’ll find two welcoming pubs and a handy local shop. This delightful part of the Suffolk countryside is a wonderful area for walking and cycling, whether you want to wander pretty lanes and discover quaint villages, head to the nature reserve at Lackford Lakes (6.5 miles), or explore Nowton Park (9.5 miles), where there’s a maze, a magnificent lime avenue and two unique arboretums. The historic market town of Bury St Edmunds, known as Suffolk’s foodie capital, is just 6.5 miles away, while Newmarket is only 9 miles away, and the historic sites and unique museums of Cambridge can be reached within 24 miles.

Cleverly combining beautiful original features with modern comforts, the two-storey property has a reverse-level design and offers space, practicality and comfort throughout. Admire the traditional flint-and-brick exterior wall as you step up and in through the glazed front door. Inside, you’ll find an open-plan living space with a wooden floor and a soaring, exposed-timber roof. Set to work in the kitchen, perhaps with local ingredients picked up on your travels, and whip up delicious meals, with the help of a dishwasher for cleaning up afterwards. Also on this level, you’ll find the super-king-size bedroom, a tranquil space with patio doors to the courtyard, and the spacious bathroom, which includes a bath as well as a walk-in shower. On the first floor you’ll find the inviting lounge, tucked under a sloping ceiling with rows of timber beams, and boasting a plush sofa and a Smart TV.

On sunny days you’ll want to spend time in the gravelled courtyard area at the front of the property, where furniture is provided for drinks and meals alfresco. Private parking for two cars is also available, making arrivals and departures easy.
