Description
Escape to a designer-owned guesthouse in the heart of the Dedham Vale AONB — Constable Country on the Essex/Suffolk border. This peaceful countryside retreat sits in a private orchard down a quiet lane in the village of Boxted, just 10 minutes from Colchester and 15 from Ipswich. Perfect for couples, small families, remote workers, and anyone craving a quiet rural escape with free parking.
Renovated to a high standard, this self-contained guesthouse is entirely yours. You'll have your own private entrance, private lounge, fully equipped private kitchen, private bathroom and a comfortable master bedroom with a king bed (plus a sofa bed, sleeping up to 3 guests). Another highlight is the spacious garden and patio area with the house situated in the middle of an orchard.
