Suffolk coast

Seaside hideaway.

This rich and varied coastal area has a dramatic appeal.

Southwold, Blythburgh, Dunwich, Aldeburgh and Orford – from Woodbridge up to Southwold each village has distinction and History.

appeal when walking or bird watching

in the several splendid Nature Reserves.

Golf courses, Horse riding and ample

Sailing opportunities on the Alde or

Deben, compliment swimming and other

seaside recreations on the sandy or

shingle beaches often surrounded by

Dunes and Marron grass.

The Snape, Aldeburgh and Halesworth

festivals offer all year round high-grade

culture and exhibitions and the Legacy of

Britten Pears brings occasional influence.

Often glorious and distinctive weather

Thorpeness

Thorpeness is a world-renowned

village created in the early 20th

century by the wealthy Ogilvie

family as a private holiday retreat.

Much of the village, and particularly

the Meare, was inspired by J.M.

Barrie’s ‘Peter Pan’ (the author was

a close friend of the Ogilvie family).

It wasn’t until the 1970s that the

family began to sell properties

in the village and to this day

they still retain a large interest in

Thorpeness. The village is known for

its range of extraordinary buildings -

perhaps most notably the ‘House in

the Clouds’.

Although focused around the Meare

- Thorpeness has a superb beach

that is just a few seconds walk from

Barnhall.

The History of Barnhall

Barnhall was built in 1925 opposite the Boathouse and was used as the Estate Office until 1975 when it was converted and greatly extended to become a Cafe and Restaurant. In September 2007 it also had a Collectors and Antique Emporium added. In September 2012 the entire cluster of buildings by now much decayed and altered from the original were demolished and replaced.

ConstructionThe construction is a designed, factory fabricated, sustainable wood structural system, which is then clad with insulation and finished with Render and detail or boarding. The system is a modern derivation of the original building concept – timber frame and sheeting – as commissioned by the Ogilvie family. The new buildings completed in December 2013 are ecologically sound, fully compliant and as ‘Green’ as possible.

Design and FacilitiesThe New Buildings also built as a cluster with clear visual recall to the form of original Estate Office, offer a 50-60 seater Cafe/Restaurant with front garden and views, a large Collectors and Antique Emporium and ten studio flats. The beach is some 50 yards away.

The Ground floor commercial space arrangement conjoins the Cafe/Restaurant and Emporium as visitors move freely between both uses.

There are several spaces for bicycle parking in and around the building. There is a communal laundry room fitted with a washing machine and tumble dryer. The residential units are accessed by one of two step free entrances and are totally separate from the commercial ground floor uses.

The apartments

SpecificationThe idea for the fully fitted flats is to offer

a complete fuss-free bolt-hole-by-the-sea.

All are open plan of one volume,

have a reception and dining area,

defined sleeping area, ample storage and key

items of furniture.

The precisely designed bathroom has shower,

WC, basin, illuminated cabinet with shaver

socket, heated towel rail and effective

ventilation.

A small yet functional kitchenette offers

fridge & freezer, ceramic hobs, microwave

and convection oven, stainless steel sink and

drainer together with overhead storage and

extract.

Nine apartments have balconies or terraces

with wonderful westward views over the

Meare. All have a dedicated car parking

space in the adjoining Rural landscaped car-

park. Flat heating is by oiled filled radiators

and towel rails on timeclocks/thermostats;

heat loss is predicted to be exceptionally low

due to the high efficiency windows,

wall and roof construction and insulation.
