Why they chose this property

We love how rural it feels and the relaxed countryside atmosphere whilst being so well connected to Colchester and also London

What makes this property unique

We adore our converted barn - it is rustic and full of character! We have adorned the walls in paintings that are special to us, and have filled the barn full of furniture that has been loved by our families over the years.
