About this property
This lovely cottage has been converted from a coach house and sits in the owner's grounds on the edge of the quaint village of Sible Hedingham in rural Essex. With mostly ground floor accommodation, this Sible Hedingham cottage offers comfortable, spacious accommodation with glorious countryside views. The master bedroom is decorated in the style of a country house and benefits from an en-suite bathroom with feature brick wall that adds a touch of glamour. Soft comfortable seating in the sitting area allows guests to settle down on chilly evenings in front of a roaring open fire, whilst French doors can be thrown open to let the breeze in on warm summer days. The large enclosed rear garden makes this Essex cottage the perfect place for the children and your dog to run free, while the adults can relax with a glass of something cool as well as drinking in the country air. Take a stroll into Sible Hedingham where you will find local shops, pubs and tea rooms, or if you fancy a day out for all the family then make for Colchester, the oldest recorded town in Britain. Spend a day at Boxted Airfield Museum, stroll around art galleries, or indulge in a gastronomic delight in one of the many restaurants in the town. At the end of a fun-filled day, you can return to the welcome of this Sible Hedingham cottage to relax, rest and recharge.
Sible Hedingham is a village in north Essex dating back to medieval times with plenty of timber framed cottages dating back to the 15th century.
