About this property

Charming 1 bedroom Granary conversion in the heart of Suffolk

The Olde Granary is situated in the quiet and peaceful county of Suffolk, set within the heart of a small family owned arable farm, it offers beautiful views of the Stour Valley countryside, traditional farm buildings and an old windmill.

The granary conversion has a wealth of character with exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and solid oak joinery features. The property has everything to make a restful stay with a balcony double bedroom, modern shower room, spacious reception room/dining area and oak framed conservatory lounge, with TV and DVD player. The kitchen is well equipped with a fan oven, hob, grill, microwave, kettle, toaster, fridge freezer and washing machine. There is a large garden and patio area for enjoying the quiet countryside settings, with the added benefit of ample off-road parking.

Due to the heritage of the building, there is a structural beam which crosses through the bedroom. This may not be suitable for anyone with reduced mobility. Please see the pictures.

From this peaceful location you can enjoy many local footpaths with picturesque views. The market town of Clare is approximately 1 mile away and with its fascinating history offers plenty of attractions such as period architecture, 13th century Augustinian Priory, Country Park, the stone keep ruins of Clare Castle and Ancient House Museum. Clare is well served with a small supermarket, cashpoint, tearoom, deli, local shops, pubs and eateries, golf course and fishing lakes.

From this idyllic location you can reach many local historic villages, such as Long Melford and Lavenham. The Market town of Sudbury is only 10 miles away. The towns of Bury St Edmunds, Newmarket, Cambridge and Colchester are within an hours drive and the beautiful coastline of Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex are just over an hour away. Transport links are good; the nearest train station is Sudbury and closest Airport is London Stansted, which is just under 1 hour away.

Lovely break in sunny Suffolk
The Granary was very well equipped. Clean,tidy and comfortable, The view across the fields from the patio was beautiful and the full moon breathtaking. The beam in the bedroom was not a problem for us and made it a quirky place to stay. The ideal location to explore Suffolk. Roger and Anna came to say Hello, super friendly people.

fantastic little gem
Had a great time staying at The olde Granary in Clare. It's a wonderful location just a 30min walk into the town to the local pubs and tea rooms. No more than 30/40m=ins from all the major sights. Hosts Roger and Anna went the extra mile and some to make our stay the best it could have been, Thank you so much.

Gloriously restful stay..
We stayed in Clare for a week and absolutely loved this place, as well as the surrounding area. The Old Granary is spacious, immaculately clean and quiet. It’s location was perfect for us with lots of walking, pubs, charming old buildings and within easy driving distance of other unique places. Anna and Roger were welcoming, helpful and fun. It’s a really well appointed cottage, and the sun room is perfect for relaxing in. We will definitely be returning!

An amazing building converted with love
Really enjoyed our time at the granary conversion, it is a very quant building with beautiful views. It was warm, very clean and had everything you needed. I think the only drawback was climbing the beam and stairs to go to the loo at night!

Lovely converted old granary near charming village of Clare. Great spot. Comfy and cosy.
We enjoyed staying at the olde granary since we were based there, near Clare, and enjoyed travelling all over Essex. Comfortable and ideal for a couple looking for a quiet time off the noisy big cities. Well equipped and with all you need at hand. Very nicely hosted by Roger and Anna, who are willing to assist and help with everything. Lovely scones and cream and home made jam.. Brilliant place despite the very hot weather we had. I highly recommend it to relax or travel by car nearby.

Lovely stay
Our first surprise was it is bigger than we first thought, certainly downstairs. The property is very well equipped and in a lovely location, with beautiful views we never tired of. Early evening we’d see badgers and a fox which was lovely. Roger and Anna were very welcoming and we knew they were on hand if we needed them. It was a very enjoyable stay, wished we’d stayed longer.
