Accommodation
Pheasant Lodge
Pheasant Lodge sleeps four comfortably with an open plan living area and very much welcomes dogs, definitely two, and size dependent can accept more.
With dual aspect patios, the paved area at the front of the cottage has amazing views and catches the morning sun. It is just perfect for that first cup of tea whilst listening to the bird song, and if you are lucky you might catch the sight of a deer or hare in the fields surrounding.

Pheasant Lodge
When you arrive: Located on a single-track country road off the B1145, you turn off Jordan Lane onto a private tarmac drive. Pheasant and Partridge Lodge are located at the end of this drive on the right with their own gravelled parking spaces and front patio area. There is room for two small cars, and the owner will advise where additional parking is available. Only a few steps to the single storey barn conversion and one step up to the front door leading into a light an airy open plan living area with some of the original beams.
Kitchen area: A spacious fully fitted and well-equipped kitchen welcomes you, with built in low level electric oven and hob, microwave, integrated dishwasher and undercounter fridge with ice box, and plenty of crockery and cookware. Additional freezer space is available in the games room.
Lounge area: On the right as you walk in is the comfy lounge area with faux leather sofas, blankets and cushions, a couple of occasional tables with a lamp and a flat screen TV with freeview and dvd player. Natural light from the window looking out to the fields makes this a lovely area for relaxing. A small bookcase is filled with a selection of novels, current information and ideas of places to visit, where to eat, local walking and cycling route ideas, copies of the Norfolk magazine to inspire your stay, a small dust vax to hoover up the crumbs during your stay, some playing cards and dominoes and a DAB radio with Bluetooth.
Dining Area: To the right of the kitchen is the patio door leading out to the private patio and decking area with hot tub and planting, and then the dining area with oval extending table and cushioned chairs and a large painted dresser. The many cushions for the garden chairs are stored by the dresser along with the prop for the washing line in the garden.
Amenities
Lodge Includes…
Master bedroom: Well-appointed room with Laura Ashley painted metal frame double bed with really comfy mattress, patio doors onto the garden, TV with freeview, wardrobe with plenty of hanging space and chest of drawers with hairdryer. An ironing board and iron are stored in the wardrobe.
Second bedroom: Comfy full-size twin beds with bed side cabinet, hanging space in a wardrobe and a chest of drawers for more storage. A mop and bucket and broom are stored in the wardrobe.
Outside: The cottages are dual aspect, so catch the morning sun on the front patio, perfect for breakfast outside and the panel fenced garden at the back sees the afternoon and evening sun, so ideal for a barbecue and a glass of wine. There is a footpath close by for those early morning dog walks, and a grass area for kicking or throwing a ball. As we are at the end of the drive there is no passing traffic other than an infrequent horse, cyclist or walker, so idyllically quiet and perfect for star gazing after dark and watching bats fly at dusk.
Bathroom: Shower cubicle with drench head and handheld shower, countertop basin, toilet and heated towel rail. Soap and hand lotion are provided.
Patio/Decking and garden: The secure back garden has 5-6ft fence panelling creating a private space with planting and an outdoor rattan table set with parasol and a charcoal bbq for those warmer days. The hot tub is an ideal way to relax after a day spent exploring the area and the local sights. The water is changed before the arrival of each guest, so it may be a little cooler than normal if you plan to take a plunge as soon as you arrive. There is also a retractable washing line and sun lounger.
Games room: A superb space for adults and children shared with the other cottage, Pheasant Lodge. You have a full-size snooker table, a table tennis table, table football, darts, a retro games console, TV and stereo. You will also find tennis rackets and balls for your use on the all weather tennis court that is shared with the owner and other guests. There is a vast selection of children’s books, games and dvds also available in the games room.
The washer drier is housed in a cupboard in the games room, along with a clothes airer. There is also an undercounter freezer for additional frozen space if required. Ice packs are stored in the freezer to borrow for your cool boxes.
