About this property
Escape to the country and stay in this delightful holiday home, a grand 14th-century house on the Castle Hedingham estate. A place to get together with your entire family or an extended group of friends, the impressive property sleeps 13 guests and offers an abundance of room both indoors and out for large groups to eat and socialise together. Stunning original features including beamed walls, exposed brickwork and inglenook fireplaces serve to remind guests of the property’s rich history.
On the ground floor, the house’s showstopping space is the attractive lounge/diner where a wood burner creates a cosy ambience, comfy seating allows for evenings of relaxation and a sprawling dining table invites the whole party to sit around and dine together. Designate a chef to rustle up a delicious dinner, leaving them to get to it in the farmhouse-style kitchen with all the required appliances. The bedrooms are spread across two floors, starting with a welcoming double room and a cosy twin with an en-suite bathroom on the ground floor. Upstairs await four more bedrooms; a sumptuous double with an en-suite bathroom, a family room with a double and a single, and two more inviting twin rooms. Serving the bedrooms and completing the interior are three well-appointed family bathrooms. Outside, you’ll find a wrap-around terrace and a delectable patio area, perfect for BBQ evenings or dining alfresco with the sight of Hedingham Castle in view.
Stay close to home and discover the lake, the Lord’s Orchard, and the castle itself on the estate. Situated on the edge of the Suffolk-Essex border, you’re well-positioned to get to know so many southern England sights within the vicinity. Venture over to Suffolk and admire the local nature reserve of Melford Country Park (9 miles) or wander through the ancient woodlands of Arger Fen and Spouse's Vale (12.5 miles).

Mrs Gooch
This venerable old house offers accommodation for a large group with a good proportion of bathrooms to bedrooms. Its position, in the charming grounds of Hedingham Castle and close to the village facilities, is an asset. The property is in need of some TLC and re-furnishing but despite the challenges which come with an old house we found it clean. The bed-linen and towels are first class. Issues and enquiries raised with the estate office were dealt with promptly and effectively.
