The double bedroom is annexed to the main house, a stunning 15th century barn conversion, and has its own entrance ensuring privacy. It has en-suite facilities and is decorated in a light contemporary fashion. A further toilet and entrance hallway are also part of the annex. There is space for a car in the car lodge for guests to use. You will love it here as we are located in the heart of beautiful Suffolk with many chocolate box villages on our doorstep. Lavenham is only 3 miles away, and Long Melford, Clare, Cavendish, Kersey, Hartest, Bildeston, Bury St Edmunds and countless other places to visit all within 15 mins from here. Cockfield itself is a village spread out over numerous greens, and our green is called Cross Green which is the only conservation area in Cockfield. Cockfield was awarded the title of 'Suffolk Village of the Year 2012' and is a beautiful village in its own right. Our home is a 15th century medieval barn which was recently converted. The room you will be staying in is in an annex to the left of the property as you look at it and has its own entrance. There is a hallway, a separate toilet, and a spacious double room with en-suite bathroom.
I enjoy meeting new people and feel that I am a social person and will do everything to ensure my guests enjoy their stay.
We are in a very rural area with many nice walks all around the house leading to the countryside and also a fishing lake. This is one of the nicest parts of Suffolk, location wise you can't get much better as many of the 'must visit' villages are within 15 mins drive of the house.
