Luxury Family Farmhouse nr Southwold – Sleeps 10, Dog Friendly, 22KW EV charger
Recently profiled by HomeInspire for its architecture, countryside setting and unique design.
Welcome to The Chatterbox — a spacious, light-filled modern farmhouse set in four acres of peaceful Suffolk countryside. Sleeping 10 guests across five bedrooms, and fully dog-friendly, it’s designed for families and multi-generational groups who want space, comfort and time together without getting in each other’s way.
From the moment you arrive, the landscape does the talking: meadows, wildlife, big skies and uninterrupted countryside views in every direction. The house blends beautifully into its surroundings, with larch cladding and natural materials outside, and warm, contemporary spaces inside.
Why Guests Love It - Stunning 6m vaulted kitchen-diner with panoramic meadow views - Dual-sided log burner and huge open-plan living spaces - Ground-floor accessible suite with spa-style steam room - Dog-friendly home with four acres of private meadows to explore - Architect-designed interiors filled with light, warmth and calm - Peaceful rural setting 15–20 minutes from Southwold & the Suffolk Coast - Bi-fold doors, sun deck, pizza oven, and outdoor dining.
Perfect layout for multi-gen families, birthdays & relaxed celebrations
Inside the House Kitchen & Dining
The heart of the home: a spectacular kitchen-diner with vaulted ceilings, huge windows and views stretching across the meadow. Ideal for long breakfasts, big family meals and evenings gathered by the wood-burning stove while children drift between the house and garden.
Living Spaces
Open-plan, spacious and beautifully designed. Sink into sofas by the dual-sided log burner, read in a quiet corner, or open the full-height bi-fold doors on sunny days. Light, warmth and comfort flow through every part of the space.
Bedrooms
Five comfortable bedrooms, including a ground-floor accessible suite with doors onto the sundeck and a luxurious en-suite featuring a Hammam steam room. Upstairs, the remaining bedrooms offer serene views, super-king beds, twin options and peaceful places to unwind.
Eco-friendly by design
The Chatterbox runs on a ground-source heat pump, solar energy and fresh-air filtration. Guests often comment on how calm, warm and clean the house feels — sustainable design simply makes it more comfortable.
Outside
The outdoors becomes part of the holiday. Children can roam the meadow, families gather for alfresco meals, and evenings end around the firepit with blankets and a glass of something good. The Mere attracts wildlife, making it a beautiful backdrop for morning coffee or a quiet moment.
A sunken garden, built from reclaimed materials, offers a peaceful hideaway for yoga, reading or stargazing. There’s an outdoor dining area, BBQ, wood-fired pizza oven and plenty of space to explore.
Location
The house sits in peaceful countryside moments from Bramfield and Halesworth’s shops and cafés, with the Suffolk Coast just a short drive away.
Popular beaches include:
Southwold Dunwich Covehithe Walberswick
Families love the mix of coast, countryside walks, wildlife, child-friendly pubs and relaxed days out. You’re rural — but perfectly placed for everything.
The Experience A stay at The Chatterbox is about simple pleasures done well: space, comfort, good company and the feeling of being gently removed from real life. It’s where families reconnect, children roam freely, conversations stretch into the night and memories quietly form in the background. A brilliant choice for birthdays, reunions and relaxed family celebrations.

This house is fabulous. We were searching for a large house that could accommodate our families for a long weekend. We couldn’t ask for anything more. We loved the excluded property, modern design of the house and of course the pizza oven! Andy the house owner was very informative and helpful with our needs. We had a lovely welcome basket which was very thoughtful. The house had all the amenities you could need. All of the beds and pillows were very comfortable not to mention everything was spotless. I was really impressed of how eco friendly the house was with all renewable energy. Heated floors were a hit. The sunken garden In the backyard is absolutely fabulous, we loved being able to spend time outside together. The only thing we wanted to change was that we wished we booked our stay a little longer. We enjoyed it so much we didn’t want to leave. If you’re looking for a jaw dropping stay this house will impress.
The house was great and just what we wanted. We did lots of cooking, playing with the Pizza Oven and enjoying the space. Golf course being close was an added bonus.
We had a magnificent week in Suffolk and enjoyed lots the area and property had to offer. The house is beautiful and has all the things a large family needs and more. Kids loved the space and used it to the full - mostly cricket on the 'sports field' and camp fires by the Railway Tavern. Andy, the owner, was brilliant - providing lots of up to date information about things to do and places to visit - plus keeping us stocked up on wood for fires and pizzas! I cannot recommend this property highly enough...we are already planning our next visit.
