About this property

English Countryside Retreat: Sleeps 10

A charming, detached 5-bedroom home set in several acres of mature gardens. Situated on one of the most desirable lanes, close to the village of Sible Hedingham, with far-reaching views over Sible & Castle Hedingham from the stunning, mature gardens.



The sun-filled, bright property has spacious living areas, a fully fitted kitchen, and three modern bathrooms and a WC. 



The large, airy and comfortable living space is tastefully decorated with original artwork adorning the walls. The owner has a wonderful eye for detail, and modern art is offset beautifully against his original antique furnishings.

This is the perfect country escape for a family looking to enjoy space & open, uninterrupted views, there are even horses grazing in a field at the bottom of the garden. You can have your 'Swallows & Amazons' moment here!

There is ample parking in the sweeping, private, gated driveway. The housekeeper lives in a neighbouring property and is on hand should anything be needed.

Our beautiful property is available for short term & mid term lets (weekly gardener is included in STL).
