A barn conversion, set in the heart of Thorndon near Eye, has come onto the market for a guide price of £640,000.
The property was formally a threshing barn built around 300 years ago, and was converted into a residential property in the mid-1990s, with selling agent Whittley Parish saying “great emphasis was undertaken to retain much of the timber with a pleasing blend of modern fixtures and fittings”.
