Nestled in a luscious tree-filled garden in the Essex countryside, this characterful home is just as enchanting on the inside as it is at first glance. Brimming with one-off antiques and eye-catching wall art, the spacious house has been lovingly decorated by its discerning owners. There are plenty of interesting trinkets and vintage books to riffle through, in between drinks on the patio and meals around the walnut dining table. If you value privacy and seclusion, this home is for you. As you amble through the vast garden, the only souls you'll spot are the horses grazing in a neighbouring field. The blissful expanse is ideal for families, who can play games and enjoy picnics on the well-tended grass. Sible Hedingham is your closest village, just a two-minute drive – or sixteen-minute walk – away. The pretty hamlet houses two traditional pubs where you can indulge in wholesome British grub. If you fancy a city day trip, you'll reach Cambridge's historic centre in just under an hour. Walk the cobbled streets, visit the university and punt down the River Cam.

About Essex

Despite being so close to London, Essex is a world apart. With rolling countryside that inspired Constable, one of Britain's greatest landscape painters, delightful seaside towns and a host of secret coastal islands, Essex surprises at every turn. Where else in the UK can you walk past Queen Elizabeth's hunting lodge in Epping Forest, enjoy a Michelin-starred lunch near Maldon (of sea salt fame), before spending your afternoon lounging in...
