About this property

Orchard Cottage - Newly Built Farmhouse Outhouse

Orchard Cottage is a recently built self contained three bedroom annexe to a grade II listed 16th Century farmhouse, located in close proximity to the village of Castle Hedingham in North Essex.

The cottage is located on an idyllic working farm, surrounded by beautiful land, excellent views, with ample public footpaths and bridleways for you to explore.

The location is an ideal access point to the nearby towns and villages in the Suffolk/Essex borders such as Lavenham, Long Melford, Sudbury, Finchingfield, Braintree and further afield Colchester, Newmarket, and Cambridge.

We are ideally located for weddings at Hedingham Castle (less than a 5 minute drive), as well as The White Hart, Gosfield Hall, Fennes Estate and Smeetham Hall, which are all only a short drive away.

The property has been finished both inside and out to a high quality specification. It offers three good size bedrooms, the master featuring an en-suite and a large family bathroom on the first floor. A wood burning fire provides cosy evenings in the living area, as well as a fully equipped kitchen and separate utility room. The dining room offers a large dining table with seating for up to eight people and flat screen television on the wall.

The outside has a generous grassed area, furnished patio with charcoal BBQ and separate driveway and parking for up to four vehicles. There is a dog kennel for anyone wishing to bring dogs, but who don’t want them in the property all the time.

Tea & Coffee are provided on arrival. We have a Tassimo coffee machine in the Kitchen, we provide a few complimentary capsules on arrival, but please feel free to bring some with you for your stay.
We provide bedding, towels and toiletries complimentary.

Relaxation & escape

Lovely stay surrounded by farmland, having all the information about walks was really helpful. Location is great as so many pubs nearby and things to see and do. We were mainly visiting family but really convenient. We had everything we needed.

Comfortable Rural Stay

Comfortable, well-equipped cottage built onto the end of the farmhouse next door, with its own drive and grounds and ample parking space. The setting is rural, surrounded by fields and copses, just over a mile down a narrow single track lane. Very quiet, apart from the sound of planes on the flight path into Stansted airport 15 miles or more away, which didn't really bother us in October (though for a couple of nights bizarre acoustics did make a couple staying next door in the farmhouse sound as though they were inside the cottage with us and going up and down the cottage stairs). The cottage had just about everything we needed, and there were lots of pheasants about to entertain us with their antics. The biggest issue was the wi-fi, which was provided via a router extender located in the farmhouse next door. When we arrived we could only get a stable connection in the main bedroom but after a couple of requests to Lucy the extender was moved nearer to the cottage so the signal reached as far as the house bathroom upstairs and the dining room downstairs, albeit with a speed way below the 50+ mbps stated on the website.

Beautiful location

Lovely location, although on the flight path to Stansted! The house was relatively clean, we did find a couple of stray socks behind the TV unit. Property didn't have a hair dryer which would have been useful & the WiFi wasn't up to much. Apart from that had everything you need

Lovely cottage home from home

Stayed for 3 nights for a wedding at the castle and loved every minute of it. Such a beautiful little cottage inside and out, very clean, a home from home. Everything you could need, the garden is beautiful and so relaxing, make sure to sit out and watch the little bats in the evening. Brilliant location. Would highly recommend!

Country getaway

As described, the property is nicely appointed with plenty of storage, and an outside area to sit and have a drink, or play with young children. It’s quiet and peaceful and in many ways an ideal getaway for some family time. However, the issue for our group was that the listing didn’t indicate that the two double bedrooms are conjoined: you access the main double with en-suite through the other double room. For a single family of parents and children this wouldn’t be a problem, but for two couples it wasn’t ideal.

Beautiful country setting in wonderful cottage

Beautiful scenery, lovely cosy cottage and peaceful setting. We have loved our time here and don’t want to go home!! Brought 2 teenage girls with us and it was great they could be at one end of the cottage and us at the other, very peaceful for us!! Our little dog had a fabulous time watching the gates run through the field. Great to be at one with nature!! Great place to stay.
