About this property
Standing proud on the grounds of a former outbuilding, The Green Shed is a newly constructed modern one bedroomed brick and timber lodge. Beautifully furnished this will make the perfect base for your next Suffolk escape.
This handsome barn conversion is utterly spacious and provides an excellent escape for two in the Suffolk countryside. This idyllic little bolthole is situated on the outskirts of Orford and is surrounded by endless fields and farmland, perfect for any couple eager to get away from it all and enjoy some sumptuous peace and quiet. The property, which is also dog-friendly for pup-owning holidaymakers, has been finished with contemporary styling and all the necessary home comforts to make your stay one you won’t quickly forget.
Step inside this brick and timber lodge to find plenty of space to relax. On the ground floor, you’re greeted by an open-plan living space with dual-aspect bi-fold doors that let light flood in and offer access to the garden. Chose to dine either indoors or outdoors, preparing delicious meals in the shaker kitchen before sitting down at the dining table or beneath the attractive veranda. A handy ground-floor WC completes this downstairs space. The one and only bedroom can be found beneath vaulted ceilings on the first floor. Accompanied by a handy en-suite, this instantly inviting bedroom offers plenty of cushy furnishings for catching forty winks or getting yourself ready in the morning. There’s even a Juliet balcony and a picture window presenting marvellous views to wake up to.
Discover the rich history and vibrant wildlife of Orford, just 1 mile away. This utterly scenic area boasts a monumental castle (1 mile), a nature reserve teeming with life and the chance to embark on a River Alde boat trip from the quay (1.5 miles). For further superb walking opportunities, head towards Captain’s Wood (2.5 miles) or Snape Maltings (5 miles), always keep your eyes peeled for deer, barn owls and bats amongst other exciting creatures.
The Green Shed is part of a beautiful trio of properties, with Lodge Farm Cottage (sleeps 4) and Lodge Farm Barn (sleeps 4) making it an ideal destination for group or family holidays.

Mrs Forsyth
What a lovely holiday property. It was comfortable, relaxing and well-equipped. We really appreciated having a freezer as opposed to just an ice box. We had a lovely Welcome Pack too, which was thoughtful. You could happily just sit and relax at the property, enjoying the peace and quiet, not to mention the hares, partridges and birds of prey. We enjoyed nice strolls from the lodge too - which is great to see more wildlife or just exercise your dog. We would highly recommend it and hope to return.
