The Space
Entrance
Having parked on the allocated gravel drive, follow the short path and enter Blackberry Barn through the front door, directly into the living space, with plenty of coat hooks and space for boots and shoes.
Dining/Kitchen
With hardwood flooring and plenty of windows, this open plan, practical and bright space is home to the dining area with a large wooden table and eight chairs for comfortable family meals.
The kitchen is around to the right, at the rear of the property with appliances for a short term or longer self-catering stay. You will find lots of cupboard and worktop space to prepare meals, a four ring Induction hob with fan assisted oven beneath, a large fridge/freezer and a very modern sink unit. Please note, there is no dishwasher unfortunately.
Double glazed doors open from the kitchen into the South facing garden.
Utility Room
Positioned beyond the living room, the utility is another practical space with a door to the back garden and access to the stairs which rise to the first floor.
Ground Floor Double Bedroom
Located to the left of the entrance door is a very useful double bedroom which is suitable for guests with less mobility as there is also a wet room on the ground floor.
Wet Room
Purposely located on the ground floor as a facility to the whole group and more specifically the ground floor bedroom and HOT TUB, which is located in the garden. The wet room has a shower, wash basin, WC and a window with frosted glass.
Living Room
A fabulous space for all your family and friends to enjoy in summer with the bi-fold doors to the front garden and in cooler months with the wood burning stove roaring.
There is plenty of very comfortable seating on the reclining leather couches and a huge flat screen smart TV, on which you can stream your favourite TV shows and movies through your own account logins.
Stairs
Carpeted stairs with a turn and fixed handrail rise to the first floor, where you will find three further bedrooms and a bathroom.

This spacious room has a super king bed sitting centrally between bedside cabinets and there is further storage in the bespoke hand-crafted wardrobe and chest of drawers. There are two windows in this bedroom, both with black out blinds.
Single Bedroom
Just at the top of the stairs on the right is this super room, with a standard three foot single bed with large drawer under, a short wardrobe and two Velux windows with black out blinds.
Twin Bedroom
Situated opposite the top of the stairs next to the bathroom is this well proportioned twin bedroom with two standard size, three foot single beds. A large window to the front aspect of the property sits between the two beds and there is plenty of storage in bespoke, hand-crafted chests of drawers.
Bathroom
A beautifully designed, relaxing bathroom with new modern suite. The huge roll top, claw footed bath is positioned along the side and has a waterfall tap which adds to the relaxing nature of the room.

Outside
Blackberry Barn has both a front and back garden and is located up a narrow private lane.
The South-facing back garden is home to the hot tub, which comfortably welcomes four adults.
The garden is also safe for dogs, although we would never say 'dog proof' as we all know how mischievous they can be. There is lawn to the front and rear of the property.

Why book with us?
When you book with The Suffolk Cottage Collection, you're getting the best possible price- no hidden fees, no inflated commissions. And if you speak to us, chances are you'll chat with Donna, who turns bookings into a breeze and always goes the extra mile with a smile. "Donna was fantastic with communication. Nothing was ever too much trouble."We are local
We're not just in Suffolk - we're part of it. Our little farmhouse HQ looks out over rolling fields and winding lanes, and when we pop out for a walk, it's usually through the same villages and footpaths you'll be exploring on your holiday. We're properly local - and we wouldn't have it any other way.
Always here to help you
No robots. No "please press 1." Just real people who pick up the phone and actually want to talk to you. Got a question? Want a recommendation? Need to know which pub does the best Sunday roast? We're here. And if we don't already know the answer, someone in the village probably does.
Handpicked with heart
We don't do bland. Every one of our cottages is chosen because it has something special - the kind of place we'd book ourselves (or proudly recommend to Mum). If it's in our collection, it's passed the The Suffolk Cottage Collection Standard: charm, comfort, and a sense of place you can feel the moment you step through the door.
