About this property

A beautiful 5 bedroom, detached property set in several acres of mature gardens. Situated on one of the most desirable lanes close to the village of Sible Hedingham and with far reaching views over Sible & Castle Hedingham from the stunning, mature gardens.
The sun filled, bright property has been fully modernised internally with underfloor heating, a fully fitted kitchen as well as three modern bathrooms and 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).

Configuration of bedrooms as follows:

1 extra king size bed
3 x King Size Beds
1 x small double
1 x single
1x sofa bed
1 extra single can be set up if needed
* Social gatherings and special celebrations can be arranged by request and we have a team available to help with this
** An energy cap will be applied for stays of over 1 month.

Christmas 2021

The property looks dreadful when you arrive, it is tired and old with weeds growing through steps leading up to a faded front door. The grounds are beautiful and the house large enough for our family. We had a lovely time but we’re disappointed that the house was tired. The open log fire is wonderful, the rugs in the lounge need replacing and the dehumidifier outside the basement rooms was noisy at night. All in all it’s a great location, the staff we came into contact with are lovely and very helpful but the house needs updating and maybe as it was Christmas a Christmas tree would have been a nice touch. We rent every Christmas for a family get together. Not quite worth the money but thank you Abby for getting it ready for us and helping with finding us an electric car charging point locally x

The only way was Essex

A spacious property with plenty of room inside and out for ten adults. Outside furniture was rather tired, but fine inside. Generally well equipped kitchen, but short on tea towels and no oven gloves to be found! One of the double beds is a bit on the small side, but beds generally very comfortable.
