About this property
The Acorn - One Bedroom House, Sleeps 2
Indulge in the tranquillity of Essex's countryside and discover the captivating allure of Lawford and its surroundings. Nestled on a peaceful lane, this charming shepherd's hut offers an enchanting escape from the rush of everyday life. Ideal for couples seeking a romantic retreat, it provides opportunities for coastal, river, or woodland strolls, cycling, and various water activities. Just a short drive away, explore the picturesque villages of Dedham (2 miles) and Flatford (5.5 miles), where you can immerse yourself in the timeless landscapes that inspired the masterpieces of renowned painter John Constable, with the River Stour meandering through meadows and ancient woodlands. Experience the vibrant cultural scene of Colchester (8 miles), with its Roman ruins, artistic ambiance, and diverse dining options. Nearby, discover an array of attractions, including Colchester Zoo, Jimmy's Farm and Wildlife Park, and the RSPB Flatford Wildlife Garden, or embark on a coastal adventure to Frinton-on-Sea or Walton-on-the-Naze, all within 16 miles.
Stepping up into this characterful shepherd's hut, you will find yourself in a cosy porch, perfect for removing coats and shoes. As you enter the open-plan kitchen, dining, and sleeping area, you’ll be greeted by tasteful furnishings and decor. The quaint kitchenette is ideal for preparing simple meals, while a wooden dining table and chairs provide a charming spot to eat. For more culinary options, an additional BBQ is available in the garden. The shower room, though small, is beautifully designed with modern interiors and a walk-in shower. When it’s time to rest, there is a comfortable super-king-size zip-and-link bed that can be made up as a twin upon request.
Step outside into the enchanting fully enclosed garden, exuding charm with its picturesque and vibrant features. This delightful oasis boasts its own private garden and pond area, attracting abundant wildlife. Relaxation awaits with sun loungers, a table and chairs complete with a parasol, a BBQ and a fire pit, providing the perfect setting for soaking up the sun and unwinding in comfort.
