Location
Oak Barn is located on a small lane close to the heart of the picturesque village of Sweffling.  The village is located amidst gently undulating countryside around the upper reaches of the river Alde. It is only 2.5 miles from the market town of  Saxmundham with its railway station and Waitrose supermarket and jus 4.5 miles from the historic market town of Framlingham, best known locally for its medieval castle.   The heritage coastline at Aldeburgh is 10 miles and Snape Maltings, home to the Aldeburgh Festival, about 5 miles.  Sweffling itself has a village hall, tennis court, bowls court, village hall and well respected pub, the White Horse.               
    
Description
Oak Barn was constructed/rebuilt of brick and block construction with weatherboarded elevations and was completed in 2020.  Much of the house has a tiled roof along with a catslide fibre glass roof to the rear.  Of particular note is the stunning open plan living area which leads to the kitchen/dining room.  This has a wonderful feeling of light with windows to the north, south and French doors opening to the west facing patio.  There is tiled flooring throughout with underfloor heating.  Off this is a utility room and two ground floor double bedrooms, a bathroom and an en-suite shower room.  On the first floor, constructed more recently, is a third double bedroom and store.  The house has planning permission to be extended further with a wing that would create a further bedroom, study and utility room.  More plans and documentation can be found on the East Suffolk Council website.  The remainder of the ten year building warranty remains from Homeproof.  Outside the barn has off road parking, a garden and south/west facing patio which is a sun trap.
