The property

Stowmarket 4.2 miles.

Ash Lodge is an inviting lodge in Battisford, Suffolk, offering lake and rural views, designated parking and a lawned garden on a family farm.

Ideally arranged for families, friends and their dogs, this single-storey retreat brings everyone together amid the Suffolk countryside. Step inside and follow the day into the open-plan living space, where the kitchen makes self-catering simple, whether you are preparing a hearty breakfast before a farm walk or supper after exploring.

Gather around the dining area to share plans, then settle into the sitting area as the electric fire casts a gentle glow and a favourite programme plays on the television.

When sunshine draws you outdoors, carry lunch onto the patio, light the charcoal barbecue and watch the landscape change beyond the lawn. Two bedrooms provide welcoming spaces at the end of each adventure.

The king-size bedroom benefits from an en-suite walk-in shower, while the twin is served by a separate shower room, making the layout well suited to a family or two pairs travelling together. Footpaths around the farm invite countryside walks straight from the doorstep, while the lakes offer fishing for licence holders.

Begin exploring in Needham Market, where characterful surroundings, Alder Carr Farm Shop and the waterside paths around Needham Lake create an easy-going family day.

Travel onwards to Lavenham, renowned for its remarkably complete medieval architecture, and spend time admiring the historic buildings that shape its distinctive streets.

Bury St Edmunds provides another rewarding outing, with its historical character offering a change of scene before you return through Suffolk’s winding country lanes.

For further local flavour, Burnt House Vineyard lies within reach, while Stowmarket and Needham Market railway stations provide connections for guests arriving from farther afield. Whether your days are filled with fishing, walking or discovering Suffolk’s historic towns, Ash Lodge is a memorable countryside base.
