Description

Valley Farm Cottage, a historic property in Higham, Suffolk, is being sold for the first time in generations. The 20-acre estate features a mix of woodland, pastureland, and paddock land, providing near perfect privacy and stunning views across the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property includes a main house, a holiday cottage, and a shepherd's hut, all set amidst beautiful gardens and grounds. The main house, with its original parts dating back to the 1500s, features three double bedrooms, three reception rooms, and modern amenities. The holiday cottage, known as Souters, is a charming one-bedroom property with its own garden and patio. The grounds also include a range of outbuildings, including a barn, greenhouse, and stables, as well as a woodland area with sweet chestnut and a paddock with direct frontage to Hadleigh Road. The property is located in a rural setting, yet is still within easy reach of the city of Colchester and mainline train station.
