    The barn is in a great setting. I love the design which blends the amazing period barn features with the modern/contemporary additions.

    • Willow Farm Barn is set back from the road in a tucked away setting in the heart of Wilby. The village itself has a primary school and an impressive church, and stands in the middle of rural Suffolk. The nearest larger village is Stradbroke, which is approximately 1½ miles from the property and this provides an excellent range of local facilities, including a well-respected high school and primary school, a leisure centre with swimming pool and gym facilities, a community centre, a children's play area, convenience store, butcher, bakery, antique centre, library with Post Office, hairdresser, medical centre and two very good public houses.
