Established holiday-cottage income and large private paddocks nearby.
Approximately 7,250 sq ft across principal house and six cottages
A rare country compound, The Grove combines a substantial six-bedroom principal farmhouse with a proven holiday-cottage business across roughly 6.25 acres. The principal house (part of an E-shaped building dating from the 1720s) offers generous reception rooms, a 22ft AGA kitchen/breakfast room and flexible ground-floor accommodation. Six sympathetically renovated holiday cottages (four one-bed, two two-bed) sit in a separate wing with individual outside space and a central courtyard, already set up for short-term lettings.
The grounds include around 4.24 acres equine-fenced into three paddocks, formal gardens divided between owner and holiday guests, extensive parking for about 16 cars and broad rural views. Practical advantages include fast broadband (to 1000Mbps reported), mains water and electricity, and a convenient rural location near Boxford, Sudbury and Colchester rail links to London.
Buyers should note a restrictive covenant affecting approximately 0.75 acres (parking/orchard) limiting potential uses and activities. Services are a mix: private drainage, oil-fired heating to the main house and Calor gas to the cottages — none of which have been independently tested here. Council tax is described as quite expensive, and the property will suit purchasers comfortable managing a multi-unit rural enterprise or one seeking renovation/repurposing potential.
This offering will appeal to buyers seeking a lifestyle property with an income stream — families wanting separate owner and guest accommodation, or investors aiming to continue or expand the holiday-let business. The layout, size and land provide clear scope for equestrian use, diversification or further refurbishment where desired.
