Forget all about the city in this secluded idyll. This modern retreat is an oasis nestled in the heart of the Suffolk countryside. When you arrive, walk up the gravel path to the cabin, and drop your bags in the lounge with its cool and contemporary aesthetic – a slice of the cosmopolitan within a rural setting. Relax in a fully enclosed garden, complete with an unreal wildflower meadow and fruit trees. Raised decking surrounds most of the home, with the benefit of expansive field views from behind. Without another house for miles, indulge in the privacy this home offers. While you may not have any neighbours here, you may spot some wildlife sightings including owls, deer, buzzards and woodpeckers that habitat in the local area. Based on the outskirts of the small village of Stradbroke, stock up on local produce to enjoy in the contemporary kitchen. A fifteen-minute walk from the lodge, Stradbroke centre has two pubs and plenty of local eateries including a bakery and craft beer shop. The market town of Diss, with coffee shops, restaurants, and pubs overlooking the pretty lake, is a fifteen-minute drive away. Equidistant is Framlingham – a town steeped in history from... the Anglo-Saxon period.
