Chestnut Tree Barns - Treetops

Treetops is a first-floor apartment sleeping two, set within the grounds of Chestnut Tree Barns near the Suffolk-Norfolk border. The one-acre enclosed dog field is the standout feature—pets can roam freely without risk of escape, making it genuinely different from most holiday lets. The wider site spans nearly three acres of shared landscaped grounds with sitting areas and covered spaces for outdoor dining, plus private parking for one car.

Inside, an open-plan living space combines older character with up-to-date essentials. There's a double bedroom, a bathroom with bath and shower, and a kitchen equipped to cook properly—electric oven, induction hob, dishwasher, and microwave. A utility room with washing machine and fridge-freezer sits on the ground floor. Electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are included; heating runs via oil central heating. The apartment is reached by external stairs and has its own sitting-out area. Note there are 13 steps in the garden itself.

Bungay and Beccles are both within easy reach for riverside walks, independent shops and local food markets. Southwold's beach and pier lie further along the coast. This suits couples and those with dogs who want countryside quiet but reasonable access to the towns and coast of both counties.
