1 Bedroom House in Colchester, Wakes Colne
Located near the village of Wakes Colne, Chappel in the breathtaking Colne Valley, The Piggery offers dreamy escapism deep within the rural seclusion of north Essex, yet just an hour from London.
Our stunning bolthole for two with an inviting hot tub has been sensitively converted from a former piggery at Crepping Hall Farm.
Gone are the pigs – instead you’ll find glorious ground floor accommodation. Retaining its original character, luxurious style and modern facilities have been thoughtfully inserted. Comprising a generous sitting room with comfy sofas and a fully equipped kitchen/dining area, there’s a double bedroom with a king size bed and an en suite shower.
Outside, there is a courtyard garden area to the front with rattan furniture and a barbecue, ideal for alfresco dining. Or champion the private hot tub, perfect for unwinding or a spot of stargazing at the end of the day.
