Black Swan Barn, Chediston, Halesworth

About this property

Located in Halesworth in the heart of the Suffolk countryside, this beautifully restored four-hundred-year-old thatched barn offers a secluded and romantic rural escape. After a day exploring the nearby Suffolk coast, return to a wonderfully atmospheric barn where soaring ceilings and exposed oak beams frame a large window that draws the outside in. Curl up with a book from the well-stocked shelves, enjoy a relaxed game of three-quarter size snooker, or enjoy board games and quiet conversation as the evening settles. Sleeping up to four guests, it is ideal for small families or couples seeking space, charm and a laid-back countryside retreat.

Step inside and the striking height of the ceiling and exposed oak beams immediately set the tone, beautifully complemented by soft furnishings, stocked book shelves and the impressive three quarter size snooker table that draws you into the heart of the barn. The main living space feels warm and inviting, with three comfortable sofas arranged around a coffee table and Smart television, all framed by a large picture window overlooking the garden and surrounding trees, creating a seamless connection to the natural landscape and a relaxed setting for slow evenings and sociable time together. The kitchen and dining area sits just beyond, fully equipped and designed for easy gathering, with seating for six and doors opening directly onto the garden. On the ground floor, a shower room and the peaceful Wood View bedroom with a 4'6" double bed, television, garden access and en suite shower room add further comfort, while upstairs the Pond View bedroom offers a calm retreat with a 4'6" double bed and additional sofa bed that can be made up on request.

Outside, the barn is surrounded by open Suffolk countryside with ample parking for two to three cars and a sense of complete seclusion. A generous lawned garden stretches out to the south, offering space to unwind, dine and enjoy the rural setting, with outdoor seating perfectly placed for slow mornings and evening drinks.

Perfect for families, couples or friends, this characterful barn blends historic charm with relaxed modern living, where days can be spent exploring the nearby Suffolk coast or simply staying in, playing snooker, sharing meals and enjoying the calm of the countryside.
