Balancing Barn | Extraordinary holiday home with a creative design
Visited on location by Nice2stayA marvel of creative Dutch architecture: thirty meters long clad in reflective steel tiles, partly suspended above the ground for the most breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The Balancing Barn certainly makes a striking first impression! But not only its architecture can be called remarkable, inside you will find numerous astonishing highlights as well. The wood-clad walls and ceilings are complemented by custom-designed lighting and modern design furniture. Large wall canvases and carpets - based on paintings by local painters Constable and Gainsborough - add color while skylights, a glass floor, and large windows add to the open feel of the house.
To one side of the barn, you will find an excellent kitchen with high-quality appliances and a contemporary style with direct access to the garden. On the other side, you will find the floating living room with a great view of the natural surroundings on three sides. This is the perfect place to retreat in colder months; light the wood stove, relax with a book, or listen to music. Between these two areas are four double bedrooms with handmade solid oak furniture, each with its own bathroom. Two bedrooms have in-room baths for a little extra pampering.
Six acres of private gardens and terraces surround the property for dining, cooking (a barbecue on the fire pit), and playing. There is even a swing under the house, which both big and small children will find difficult to resist!
If you fancy a day out, the Suffolk Wildlife Trust land next door has wonderful nature trails and the glorious Suffolk Coast is just 5 miles away for sunny beach days or a walk. The historic towns of Aldeburgh and Walberswick with traditional pubs and restaurants are also nearby to be explored.
