 Converted from a cart shed this comfortable cottage offers peace and tranquillity in a rural setting. Combined with electricity generated from a wind turbine and hot water from solar panels this eco-friendly property offers a holiday with reduced environmental impact.
Stubbs Barn cottage has two bedrooms, a sunny and spacious open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area. With tasteful yet practical furnishings and pictures by a local artist, we hope you will find it comfortable and easy going. The cottage faces south and has large windows overlooking the top paddock, trees and fields beyond. With it’s own patio it is the ideal location to relax and watch the wildlife, listen to the birds singing, unwind and enjoy those big Norfolk skies.
The barn is set in seven acres of paddocks and gardens and your hosts, Martin and Jane offer you a warm welcome to enjoy the surroundings and local wildlife. With easy access to the Broads, the Suffolk Coast and the City of Norwich, Stubbs Barn Cottage is within easy walking distance of the village of Loddon. The village has pubs, restaurants and shops as well as all the necessary facilities such as post office, bank and doctors. There are plenty of footpaths, offering easy walking in the South Norfolk countryside.
 The cottage is kept cosy in the winter by underfloor heating from a ground source heat pump, electricity is generated from a 6Kw windturbine and hot water is provided by solar panels. Your hosts Martin and Jane, are keen gardeners, and will be happy to share seasonal produce with you. They have successfully transformed the farm yard concrete to grass and gardens, with long-term plans including a kitchen and herb garden, orchard, reed beds and water garden – come every year and watch the progress! Chickens provide fresh, free range eggs, while honey bees (kept some distance from the house you will be pleased to hear) work tirelessly to produce local honey.
