Comfortable rural home with easy access to Central London

Comfortable rural home with huge garden and large pond only ten minutes from the central line tube in to London (55 mins travel time from home to Bank station). We are 50 minutes drive from Cambridge and the Essex Sunshine Coast, quaint north Essex Suffolk villages rivers and thatched cottages all nearby.

Four double bedrooms and downstairs office has double sofa bed. Main bedroom has en suite and there is a main bathroom and downstairs toilet.

We have wood burners downstairs so in cooler weather the indoors is cosy and in the summer we have an outdoor kitchen and huge table for entertaining.

Loads of garden games and entertainment. We have rights of way leading from the house so no need to jump in the car for countryside walks but if you do we have fabulous country parks just 5 minutes drive away.

Our garden has loads of fun for children with an assault course round the pond and a zip wire. There is a rowing boat and floating pontoon for the pond too.

If you enjoy wildlife then an early morning breakfast by our pond you may see treecreepers and a kingfisher or at dusk you may spot a herd of fallow deer that are often seen on the field opposite the house. At the same time you can still see the top of canary wharf over the fields in the distance so we are quiet and peaceful but can tap in to all the culture London has to offer whenever we like.

WiFi and smart TV.
