Stylist’s Phil Hilton enjoys the stunning scenery of Suffolk from the comfort of a beautifully restored former cartshed

The Cartshed delivers the countryside the way most of us secretly like it; through enormous windows. Thanks to this newly restored barn’s two floor-to-ceiling walls of glass, you can stand in your thick, wintry socks warmed by under-floor heating, holding a glass of heavy red and enjoy trees bent by winds and sheep barely able to stand in sheets of rain. You feel somehow that you’re on one of those long walks everyone claims to like in Guardian Soulmates. But your long walks are across the spacious lounge/kitchen to whack on some more Beyoncé and have another shot at the world cheese-eating record.
