Set in 20 acres of farmland_This lovingly restored holiday home, which was originally stables dating back to the 1700s, provides a spacious, well-furnished base for exploring the Dedham Vale, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The accommodation is set in 20 acres of farmland with many footpaths direct from the property, making it an ideal base for bird watchers and walkers. A large brick fireplace in the living room will welcome you back from brisk country walks or a cycle ride. The village of Ardleigh, while delightfully rural, affords easy access to the towns of Colchester - with its castle and zoo, and Ipswich, both providing a large range of interesting shops and restaurants. In addition the mainline rail service between Maningtree and London is only 3 miles. Local attractions include the Sir Alfred Munnings Art Museum at Castle House, Dedham, 2 miles, and NT Flatford Bridge Cottage, 3 miles, where you can take in the John Constable exhibition or hire a rowing boat for your own exploration of Constable’s River Stour landscapes. Also within 3 miles are the internationally acclaimed Beth Chatto Gardens at Elmstead Market. For an enjoyable day on the sunshine coast, the charming seaside resorts of Frinton-on-Sea and Walton-on-the-Naze are within easy driving distance, as is the more lively seaside town of Clacton.
