Nearby there is a freshwater pond frequented by a barn owl and occasionally a kingfisher as well as numerous other birds.
Please note there are unfenced ponds in the grounds, so the
property
is not suitable for toddlers and very young children.
Situated just 1 mile from the A12 and the pretty village of Yoxford with its useful general store and post office, and a similar distance from two friendly local pubs, the cottage is just 5 miles from Suffolk Heritage Coast and 3 miles from Minsmere the flagship RSPB reserve.
The area is wonderful to visit at any time of year, and the barn is always cosy with its full central heating and a wood-burning stove, for which logs are provided. Here's a view of Middleton Moor in winter:
Red Lodge Barn may be booked along with our property called Highsteppers; our nearby home in a Georgian Grade II listed building named "Blythview", which can accommodate a further four people. It boasts a swimming pool and garden and views over the spectacular Blyth Valley.
