Description
Nestled in a serene Suffolk village, The Engine House is a stunningly restored early 1900s brick industrial brick building that was originally built to supply electricity to the stately home Barton Hall In 1914, following a fire that destroyed the stately home, The Engine House became redundant and in the following decades, it served as a forge, a green grocer's storage area, and an artist's studio. Working with architect Michael Corsar, in 2017 the Engine House was lovingly restored and extended by its owner. The property accommodates up to six people in its three double bedrooms. Visitors can bask in the changing seasons, delighting in activities such as river swimming, cycling, visiting the local vineyard, or enjoy the private walled garden during the balmy late spring and summer months. In cooler months, hunker down in front of the wood burner, project a film or wrap up for a walk on Knettishall Heath.
