The Studio

Body Mind as One occupies two combined, former office, units on the ground floor of a converted Barn which is part of Charity Farm Estate in Chattisham, Suffolk.  IP8 3QG

​

Charity Farm is a small estate of units occupied by other trades and skills.

​

It is in a quiet & peaceful rural setting interrupted by the occasionally noises from the other businesses or from the resident geese and the sounds of nature.

​

Getting to The Studio

No public transport serves Chattisham or the estate. 

The estate is accessed via a single entrance from The Street, Chattisham.

So please approach with care and caution.

​

The Barn is accessed by entering the estate, then turn right after a few yards immediately after a small unit on the right (look for the "Body Mind as One →" sign on the fence).

Follow the single track lane for a short distance to the Car Park.
