Camps Heath Barn, Suffolk: Review
Jul 22nd
There appear to be canal boats motoring along the top of the field.
My four-year-old alerts me to this weirdness, so I prepare an indulgent smile, but on inspection the marshy land stretching out towards the horizon is so very flat that it’s difficult to tell the broads from the fields. The boats that ply these waters, heading inland from Oulton Broad towards Norfolk’s canal network, really do look like grass-top craft.
There is a lot to go “wow!” at here if you’re four. With nothing but the occasional tree to interrupt the marshy flatlands, the sun and moon can be seen keeping each other company in the sky hours before dusk or dawn; and dawn hits land first in this most easterly corner of England, after its journey across the North Sea from Amsterdam. All this can be watched, like a very slow-paced movie, from the glorious picture window of this newly converted barn.
The entire west wall of this 350-year-old red-brick structure was rebuilt with the addition of a two-storey window that lends the barn’s two lounge rooms something of a cathedral elegance. With help from the Traditional Building Company, owner Jan Overy, spent three years living in a trailer while More >
