Situated in the picturesque Saffron Walden, Essex, this exclusive vacation home offers a tranquil retreat for up to 18 guests, making it ideal for families or gatherings of friends. The property features four spacious bedrooms, equipped with multiple king-sized beds and additional sofa beds, ensuring ample accommodation. Guests can indulge in a variety of amenities, including a hot tub, an open fire, and pet-friendly options, all nestled within an acre of private gardens surrounded by stunning countryside views. The location is particularly notable as it lies within the grounds of Spains Hall, owned by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, adding a unique charm to the stay.
Nature enthusiasts will find themselves in paradise, with over 50 acres of mapped countryside to explore, including four designated footpaths. One of these paths follows the historical route of the infamous Dick Turpin, the notorious highwayman, and leads directly to the Blue Bell Inn, his original hideout. Guests are encouraged to uncover the legend of Turpin’s buried loot while enjoying the area's rich history, which includes connections to notable figures such as Baby Spice and the Kray Twins. The serene environment is perfect for leisurely walks, bike rides, and enjoying the local wildlife, including Muntjac deer and various bird species.
The property is situated on a peaceful lane, well-suited for relaxation rather than nightlife, ensuring a restful experience away from the hustle and bustle of urban life. Despite its secluded setting, guests can easily access a five-star Italian restaurant within walking distance and are less than an hour's drive from London and 30 minutes from Cambridge. The nearby medieval town of Thaxted, favored by the Kray Twins, offers historical significance and local dining experiences, including the renowned Parishes restaurant, which is steeped in local lore.
For added convenience, the home provides various optional enhancements to improve the stay, such as pre-heating the hot tub and supplying additional comforts like food and toiletries. The layout is designed to accommodate large groups comfortably, with a cinema room and luxury air beds available upon request. This vacation home in Saffron Walden is not just a place to stay; it’s an opportunity to immerse oneself in the beauty of the East of England, rich in history and natural splendor, making it a perfect getaway for those seeking peace and adventure alike.
