Deberri - sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms

Set along a private driveway on a historic manor estate, DeBerri is a welcoming countryside hideaway rooted in history and thoughtfully reimagined for modern luxury. Part of an estate recorded in the Domesday Book, the barn has been transformed over the past few months from an empty space into a meticulously curated holiday home layered with warmth, texture and understated elegance. Inside, the charm of the original building comes through effortlessly: vaulted ceilings, exposed oak beams, Suffolk brickwork, heritage roof structures and pamment-style flooring, all softened with warm textiles and carefully chosen furnishings. The layout is intentionally designed for groups, with spacious social areas for gathering, quiet corners for slipping away with a book, and a seamless flow between the lounge, kitchen, garden room and outdoor terrace. Light pours in from every direction, creating bright, calming spaces that make the barn feel both generous and homely. The layout is ideal for groups with spacious social areas for gathering, quiet corners to slip away to, and a seamless flow between the lounge, kitchen, garden room and outdoor terraces.

History of the Barn

DeBerri forms part of Chippenhall Manor Barns, a collection of traditional Suffolk brick and timber farm buildings once connected to the neighbouring 13th-century Chippenhall Manor, which itself is recorded in the Domesday Book. The current owners' family, were until recently, custodians of the estate since around 1985, and the barns were later granted Grade II listed consent for residential conversion in recognition of their character and architectural importance.

DeBerri is believed to have formed part of the former granary complex, while the neighbouring buildings housed the estate's old stables. Today, the barn has been transformed into a comfortable and beautifully modern countryside retreat, preserving its history while embracing contemporary living.
