Groton Manor Farm - sleeps 8

Interesting farm building conversion in the heart of the Suffolk Countryside, great for cyclists as on South Suffolk Cycle route, beautiful country walks close to villages of Kersey, Boxford, and markets towns of Hadleigh, Sudbury and Lavenham.

The property is set back from a quiet country lane with beautiful views, all windows are south and southwest facing with floor to ceiling french windows. Groton Manor Farm dates back to the 16th century although it is no longer a farm it is set in 3.5 acres of its own ground. Its unique position is no doubt an indication of its importance as a farm stretching back over hundreds of years. Nearby Groton Wood which is owned and managed by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust today used to be part of the farm, this wood boasts ancient woodland (lime coppice) and is a wonderful woodland to explore.

The farm buidlings have remained true to its original layout so three of the bedrooms we call the piggeries run one in to the other. There is a large entrance hall with doors leading to the piggeries, a family bathroom and the 45ft by 15ft Kitchen/diner/sittingroom previously my stables and cowshed. At the opposite end of the room is a door that leads in to a dressing room followed by a bedroom with a kingsize bed and ensuite shower room (very large shower) with toilet, basin.

The layout may not appeal to everyone, but everyone who has stayed have found it fantastic, high ceilings, light, spacious, quiet, private, has character and modcons. Looking for cosy country cottage we are not for you but if you want a property finished to a high spec with a very special feel than you may like to stay.
