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.

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
