About this property

Nestled amid idyllic countryside on the Essex/Suffolk border, this captivating 18th-century cottage offers a luxurious escape to the country. This beautifully renovated property sits within 6 acres of private grounds belonging to Toppesfield Hall, along with a handful of other holiday lets. Spend your days exploring quaint villages, historic sites and the beautiful landscapes of Constable Country. Then return here for lazy afternoons in the garden and evenings bubbling beneath the stars in your private hot tub.

Lovingly renovated with exquisite attention to detail, this property seamlessly marries historic elegance with contemporary comforts. The kitchen/diner is a bright and inviting space with retro-style appliances and a large bench dining table, inviting guests to craft and savour meals together. Next door, an original flint wall adds character to the lounge, where sunny colours, plush sofas and a large, wall-mounted TV are ideal for lazy evenings in. Bi-fold doors open into the private rear garden, where you have a table for dining alfresco and a hot tub under a roofed pagoda to help you unwind. Two inviting first-floor bedrooms whisper of a refreshing night’s sleep, a king-size master bedroom and an elegant twin. The ground-floor bathroom features both a bath and a walk-in shower.

Guests are welcome to stroll around the grounds and play a set or two on the shared tennis court as well a make use of the superb games room.
