Newly converted barn in charming, historic setting
Unit 1 at Rise Hall is an impressive reimagining of the original 16th Century threshing barn, a building that once formed the agricultural heart of this historic Suffolk estate. Now a beautifully appointed home, it blends centuries-old character with refined contemporary living.
Step inside and you're greeted by soaring ceilings, exposed beams, and generous open-plan spaces that celebrate the barn's original proportions. The living area is flooded with natural light, thanks to thoughtfully placed glazing that frames views of the surrounding countryside while preserving the integrity of the historic brickwork, timbers and window openings.
The kitchen and dining space offer a seamless blend of rustic charm and modern convenience, ideal for both relaxed family living and entertaining. Bedrooms are spacious and serene, with vaulted ceilings and heritage detailing that lend a sense of calm and timelessness.
Outside, Unit 1 enjoys a private garden and access to the wider grounds of Rise Hall, a setting steeped in history, with the Grade II-listed farmhouse nearby and the quiet parish of Akenham just beyond.
This is more than a home; it's a rare opportunity to live within a piece of Suffolk's architectural legacy, thoughtfully adapted for 21st-century life with high levels of energy efficiency, under floor heating and potential for additional land and buildings.
