Joanna
Melford Allotment Shed is vintage self catering accommodation. It is located by a footpath which is next to river side walks and a five minute wander to the centre of the village. It is a self contained Lodge with its own patio and garden. The interior takes inspiration from a 1940s allotment shed furnished with hand painted furniture and genuine vintage touches. I have spent three years crafting, collecting and repurposing everything it contains. It was built in 2010 and decorated by myself.
I live next door and am available to contact on the mobile number I have provided.
Lond Melford is an historic village, lined either side of a mile long central road with period buildings. It has a great selection of independent restaurants, tea rooms, lifestyle and antique shops, beauty rooms, butchers and a bakers. It has lovely country side walks and two stately homes. A heritage centre close to the lodge has information are artefacts relating to the history of the village. We are a 30 minute drive to Bury St Edmunds and Colchester with its direct train link to London in an hour. The village has a number of free parking options. We are a two minute walk to a bus stop which will take you to Bury St Edmunds and Lavenham, which was one of the locations for the filming of scenes from Harry Potter.
