The village of Horham sits between Stradbroke and Eye and benefits from a village shop.  The highly regarded village of Stradbroke is just over a mile and this has a Spar convenience store that caters for all day-to-day needs, a bakery, butchers, medical centre, village hall, children's play areas, hairdressing salon, library/Post Office, Stradbroke Baptist Church, two public houses, Church of England VC Primary School and Stradbroke High School.  There is also a sports centre with a swimming pool, gym and tennis courts, as well as numerous clubs and societies, including a popular cricket club, tennis club, bowls club and football clubs. The South Norfolk town of Diss, with Morrisons, Tesco and Aldi supermarkets, lies about 10.5 miles to the north-west of Stradbroke. From Diss there are direct trains to Norwich and London's Liverpool Street station. 

Framlingham, with its medieval castle, is approximately 8.5 miles to the south of the property, and the Heritage Coast, with the popular centres of Southwold, Walberswick and Dunwich, is about 20 miles to the east. The county town of Ipswich lies about 22 miles to the south, and Norwich is about 29 miles to the north.     

Description
The Courtyard is a most impressive attached barn conversion.  The owner-builder who lives in the adjacent barn, Red Brick Barn, converted what was a derelict range of barns 20 years ago.  The vendors have been enjoying The Courtyard as ancillary accommodation and as a holiday let.  The barn is presented to a high standard and of particular note is the ornate red brick wall to the front of the property as well as the attractive brick façades of the barn itself.  Internally, there are some exposed brick walls and there are Oak framed double glazed windows and doors throughout.  Of particular note is the open-plan kitchen/dining/sitting room.  There is also a utility room.  Each of the three bedrooms is a double and there is a en-suite shower room to the principal bedroom as well as a large bathroom.  The dwelling benefits from underfloor oil fired central heating throughout.

Outside, there is ample parking as well as a large south facing courtyard garden to the front and a rear garden.  It should be noted there is no forward chain and nearly all of the contents of the barn is available by negotiation.
