Set within three acres of mature garden – with additional woodland just beyond – this barn-style home is ideal for anyone looking to breakaway from the hustle of city living. With rolling hills for as far as the eye can see, this home promises rest and relaxation in a scenic setting and with a touch of luxury. Inside you’ll find sleek surfaces and plush furnishings to ensure your holiday is as effortless, comfortable and relaxing as they come. Can you see yourself in the generous kitchen, flipping pancakes as the rest of the group gather round to bring their creations to life with crazy toppings? How about in the lounge, where you can kindle a fire in the wood-burning stove and curl up with a good book? Read Neil Gaiman’s Stardust and take to the garden for a walk, imagining yourself on an adventure in a magical land. Out here also calls for spontaneity, so pack a picnic basket and take stroll the vast grounds until the entire group agrees on a random spot for an impromptu picnic. Fire up the barbecue and enjoy the offerings alfresco at the dining table outside. Afterwards, move to the cosy rattan furniture for... a drink or two before moving to the hot tub. Stay out for as long as you’d like, simply socialising under the night sky with good wine and better company.

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...
