2 Bed Apartment in Nayland

About this property

A commanding presence for centuries, this timber-framed house is in the heart of a Stour Valley village with a welcoming pub, shop and deli all just a pleasant stroll from the doorstep. Steeped in history and once significant in the wool trade, Nayland nestles in the Dedham Vale National Landscape, an ideal base for walkers, photographers and peace-seekers. Discover the views that John Constable painted in Flatford, 11 miles east, or venture into county town Ipswich (16 miles) for galleries and a waterfront lined by yachts and high-end eateries. Close by, Suffolk Food Hall is a fine destination for discerning shoppers. Head south instead and Colchester (6.5 miles) is famous for its Roman Castle, while the charming riverside town of Mistley (13 miles) has a historic quay and beautiful architecture, including an intriguing pair of classical towers.

Originally a Tudor counting house, this impressive property features a first-floor guest wing at one end, fully self-contained with its own private entrance off the gated driveway. Head up the staircase and you’ll find a characterful living area with ornate, double-height ceilings and garden views. Quirky in style, the room has a comfortable sofa and armchairs arranged before a Smart TV, and a dining suite to seat four. The chef-owner offers private dining experiences and ready-made meals to heat when you’re hungry, or you can prepare your own meals in the compact kitchen area in one corner. When it’s time to sleep there are two bedrooms to suit a small family or party of friends: one with a double bed and the other with twin beds. A large shower room completes the convenience for all.

Holiday here and you’ll have access to the gorgeous gardens at the rear of the property, with shared use of a freshwater swimming pond, tennis court and an outdoor kitchen area with BBQ. The patio has furniture for al fresco dining, and there’s secure parking for two cars behind the electric gates to the property, so you can explore the village and surrounding
