Striking contemporary Dutch barn conversion film location in Suffolk, offering 6,800 sq ft of versatile interiors, dramatic industrial architecture and a dedicated self-contained apartment for production crews.
Set within approximately one acre of gardens with countryside views, this exceptional family home combines the original curved steel framework of a Dutch barn with contemporary residential design. Polished concrete floors, exposed structural elements, double-height spaces and extensive floor-to-ceiling glazing create an impressive architectural setting, softened by natural materials, warm timber finishes and carefully chosen colour.
The substantial open-plan living area incorporates a modern kitchen, dining and sitting spaces. The kitchen features dark cabinetry, a large island with seating, timber units and generous glazing overlooking the grounds. A long timber dining table sits beneath oversized woven pendant lights, with a mezzanine level overlooking the space.
One of the property's most distinctive features is its bespoke pink staircase and matching balustrades, providing an unusual architectural backdrop. Other features include two log-burning fires, a freestanding egg-shaped bath and a range of contrasting contemporary rooms.
The main house and interlinked apartment offer multiple living areas, two kitchens, two dining areas, six bedrooms, four bathrooms and a creative workspace or studio, providing a wide variety of residential settings for filming and photography.
A particular advantage for productions is the self-contained apartment within the barn. With its own entrance, fully equipped kitchen, lounge, bathroom and two bedrooms, this area is specifically offered as a dedicated crew space, suitable for hair and make-up, wardrobe, props, equipment storage and crew breaks. Overnight accommodation can also be arranged for a separate fee.
Outside, the barn's distinctive curved roofline and dark cladding create a bold modern-industrial exterior, complemented by landscaped planting, lawns and countryside views. The listing also confirms free on-site parking.
Combining substantial shooting spaces, distinctive architectural features and unusually practical production facilities, this Suffolk Dutch barn conversion offers an adaptable setting for film, television, advertising and photography shoots.
