This beautiful single-storey lodge located on a quiet farmstead is perfect for a family or two couples and their beloved pup who are looking for a relaxing rural holiday on the Norfolk–Suffolk border. Let your hound lead the way along the scenic riverside walks of the Angles Way, which is less than half a mile away. Cyclists can directly access Route 30 of the National Cycle Network, opening possibilities for cycling along mostly minor roads and country lanes.
A welcoming property with plenty of natural light and a large open-plan, dual-aspect lounge/kitchen/diner forming the heart of the home. There are calming tones throughout, making this a lovely place to relax together and enjoy the views of the countryside surroundings. The lounge has an L-shaped sofa positioned by French doors so you can enjoy the views of the garden. The lounge is where four paws can find the perfect spot to stretch out after a long walk. In the open-plan kitchen, the area is close enough to the lounge so the cook can still join in the conversation. The kitchen has everything needed to make preparing memorable meals or family favourites a breeze. There are two bedrooms, both with striking feature windows - a king-size and a double - and there’s also a shower room with a large, walk-in rainfall shower. Outdoors, you can enjoy the tranquillity of the large, lawned garden and a patio with garden furniture and BBQ. Here, you can dine alfresco on sunny days with your hound nestled at your feet. An additional treat is the chance to visit the recently planted orchard and to greet the on-site horses and alpacas.
There is plenty to set tails wagging in the local area, and when your four-legged friend fancies a run, head to Tyrrels Wood (8 miles), a quiet spot in ancient woodland with a circular trail. Alternatively, tap into the local history with a visit to Framlingham Castle (14 miles). Another must-see is Helmingham Hall Gardens (20 miles), with its magnificent setting and plenty of space to enjoy the combinations of colours and scents on offer.
