Vendor Statement:

"My husband and I converted Meade Barn in 2003 and in the five years we have lived here have thoroughly enjoyed our involvement in such a lovely village, the fabulous countryside, and excellent local schools". "The added advantage of being a stones throw from Bury St Edmunds is being so close to the shops, West Suffolk collage and work".

"Not only have we benefited from having so much living space for our three children we have also enjoyed plenty of entertaining in our private, south facing rear garden". "There is a peacefulness to this area which is very idyllic, you only have to look out at the beautiful views from the bedroom windows".

"Living in Meade Barn has given us the benefit of enjoying an old property with loads of character with all the modern conveniences such as a beautiful bespoke kitchen, underfloor heating throughout and limestone wet rooms".
