Please note: There is a fenced pond in the garden, 200 yards away.. The Bull Pen is a lovingly restored barn conversion in the delightful village of Lawford close to the Suffolk and Essex borders. Ideally placed to explore both counties whilst enjoying a luxurious base, comprising open plan living space and wood burner, with views across the surrounding fields from the patio area. This is a detached, single-storey conversion making it ideal for those less mobile. Situated in the grounds of the owner’s home, you are tucked away in a corner and will enjoy all day sunshine from its south facing aspect.

Close by you will find Dedham, set by the River Stour which is in the heart of Constable Country. The high street is lined with Georgian fronted houses, old inns, fine restaurants and superb architecture. The Stour Valley itself is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and perfect for walks and drinking in the landscape, famous for inspiring the artist John Constable. You can also hire a boat, visit the many art exhibitions or the impressive Dedham church, a 15th-century church that stands proud in the middle of the village.

Further north is Colchester, the oldest recorded town in Britain, where some of the most important events in British history have taken place. As you walk through the town there is 2000 years of history to discover, mixed with shops, restaurants and attractions. A short drive to the east you will find the quintessential British seaside towns of Frinton-on-Sea and Walton-on-the-Naze. Beach 15 miles. Shop 1¼ miles, pub and restaurant 3 miles.



The laundry facilities are shared. The property is pinpointed on the map incorrectly, it is actually 600 yards south of the marker.

We loved this place for it's peace and tranquillity as well as being warm clean and very comfortable

We loved this place for it's peace and tranquillity as well as being warm clean and very comfortable. We weren't expecting quite such a narrow lane on the approach to the property but it wasn't a problem for us either. Lots to see and do only a short drive away.

The Bull Pen was ideal for the week being extremely peaceful and comfortable.

The Bull Pen was ideal for the week being extremely peaceful and comfortable. We appreciated little extras like the cake and the flowers (and the yellow plums you dropped by with were delicious). Breakfast outside every morning was a bonus.We loved seeing the alpacas tortoise and dogs, and the green woodpecker who was usually a morning visitor was a delightful surprise. The wi-fi was good and reliable too.It was also a good base for places to go to if you enjoy nature and bird wildlife especially, without spending too long in the car.Thank you for making the Bull Pen available for others, like ourselves, to experience this lovely part of England.
