Situated within the private grounds of Athelington Hall in the North Suffolk countryside, this charming lodge is ideal for families or friends seeking a restful rural retreat close to local amenities and attractions. The property, one of several on-site, is on a working farm dating back to 1620, and there are wonderful walks in unspoiled countryside from your doorstep. The must-visit market town of Diss (13 miles) features a historic centre with characterful architecture and is surrounded by the pretty landscapes of the Waveney Valley; take some time to walk around the mere.
Step inside this splendid property and make yourself at home in the inviting open-plan lounge/kitchen and dining area, flooded with natural light. Relaxing hues, plenty of comfortable seating and a Smart TV make this the ideal spot to unwind while chatting or watching a movie. The spacious, contemporary kitchen has all the appliances needed to make meal preparation a breeze, and you can gather for feasts at the dining table. Sleeping arrangements are flexible with one en-suite double bedroom and a twin bedroom, which is close to the family bathroom. Outside, unwind on the large, gated veranda with rattan-style seating and a dining table and look out over the attractive shared grounds. Private parking is available next to the lodge.
There are plenty of family favourites close by for unforgettable days out. Start with an adventure walking the historic ramparts of Framlingham Castle (8.5 miles). For a relaxing day, ride the steam trains at the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway (9.5 miles), or meet friendly animals at Easton Farm Park (12 miles). RSPB Minsmere (21 miles) is a must-visit attraction for wildlife enthusiasts and be sure to bring your buckets and spades as the sandy Suffolk coastline at Southwold and Thorpeness is less than 25 miles away.
