About this property
Doves Barn is a converted 16th-century barn in two acres of grounds in the village of Badley, between Needham Market and Stowmarket.
The sitting room has a vaulted ceiling and a wood burner, with a games area off it for pool, giant Connect 4 and karaoke, and the drawing room, seating 12, has a second stove. The dining room has one table seating all 22.
Outside, the hot tub sits in its own cabin, and there's a garden with a charcoal barbecue, a courtyard, two patios, and croquet, table tennis and giant Jenga.
Needham Market has pubs, restaurants and cafés and the Needham Lake nature reserve, and the Suffolk coast, with Aldeburgh and Southwold, is under an hour's drive.
