The Balancing Barn
Quirky on the outside, stylish on the inside. At a glance, a large this unusual self-catering property appears almost to be suspended in mid-air over the edge of a small hill. However, despite this striking appearance, the balancing barn is in fact extremely stable (being held in place with the help of a supporting beam). The inside of the property itself is very glamorous and has been tastefully decorated. Aside from its floating appearance, the balancing barn also features an outside glass floor and is set near the Suffolk Coast and Healths AONB.
