About The Barley Silo

The Barley Silo rests in the peaceful village of Belstead near Ipswich, in Suffolk. Offering an inviting base for two couples or friends seeking a refreshing Suffolk getaway, boasting a bubbling hot tub and a freestanding bath.

The designated parking space allows for an easy arrival, and as you walk towards the house, the industrial touches on the exterior and the surrounding greenery set a calm tone for your stay, with the hot tub waiting for slow evenings beneath the open sky. Stepping inside, you enter a welcoming kitchen and dining space where large floor to ceiling windows frame uninterrupted countryside views, and the gentle hum of the fridge freezer blends with the soft click of the kettle as you prepare meals or enjoy breakfast at the circular dining table.

The curved fixtures add a stylish rhythm to the room while the oven begins to warm as ingredients are gathered and the toaster brings gentle movement to the start of the day. Moving through to the sitting room, you find a tranquil space arranged with a sofa, armchairs and a mounted TV, all set atop wooden flooring.

Patio doors open directly onto the garden, inviting you to drift outside whenever the moment feels right. The sitting room also features a sofa bed, allowing the property to sleep additional guests when needed.

A ground?floor cloakroom adds convenience with a basin and WC, as well as a washing machine and tumble dryer ideal for longer stays. When you ascend the stairs to the first floor, you are met with a stylish wooden panelled wall guiding you upward, a striking overhead light setting the atmosphere, and a landing decorated with eye-catching bookcase wallpaper.

Two thoughtfully arranged bedrooms await, each with its own characterful style, one featuring quaint wallpaper and charming touches, while the other carries vibrant patterns that give the space an energising feel. One king size with en suite includes a walk in shower with a heated towel rail and basin, while the second super king is zip?linked and can be arranged as twin beds if preferred, offers a freestanding bath beneath a chandelier, with regal framed artwork and blue panelled wallpaper creating an indulgent place to unwind after a day discovering Suffolk.
