Holy Oak Barn in Combs, Stowmarket, offers enviable family accommodation.
With some 2,000sq ft of living space and priced at less than £1 million, Holy Oak Barn is a divinely proportioned family home at a more than reasonable price. It is listed with Strutt & Parker for £725,000.
The structure of the property is believed to date from some time in the 18th century and the storied oak beams of the barn are still proudly on display throughout.

However, mixed in with the history are all the modern comforts that any family could desire in a four-bedroom home, such as a tasteful kitchen/dining room, complete with island and integrated appliances, and a magnificent vaulted living room that consumes the entire first floor.

My passion, though, is my collection of brewery trays.
I have been collecting for over 40 years and have appeared on TV on numerous occasions, my favourite being ‘Antiques Road Trip’.
Like most of the British nation, I am currently at home and looking for things to occupy my time.

In years gone by I was a prolific writer to newspapers all over the country and I was constantly trying to trace brewery trays missing from my collection.
Sometimes I struck gold, but mainly I hit a blank.
With the virus now hitting hard, I thought I’d take the opportunity to try again and see if any of your readers could help me locate an old Ely tray I have been seeking for 30 years.
