Sparkle & Oak

Sparkle & Oak: Essex

Nestled amongst the gorgeous grounds of Belchamp Hall, amidst an impressive private estate, resides this stunning converted mill with endless views across the fields and ancient woodlands. Peace and tranquillity are at the core of what makes this home so special, as its dreamy rural location next to a reed rich pond offers a one-of-a-kind escape and a good night's sleep like no other. Roam around the countryside of the private estate in pure solitude while taking in the local wildlife. Then, head back inside for a cup of tea in the house, where the luxurious, rustic charm and stylish finishings will have you feeling warm and cosy in an instant. Sink into the Ralph Lauren sofa and admire the finer details of the bright open space, including original wooden beams and a diverse range of original, reclaimed and antique woodwork throughout the rooms. With views overlooking the pond from the Juliet balcony alongside broad vistas of the rolling landscapes from pretty much every window of the home, waking up is like floating into your little corner of heaven. Beyond the grounds, the local area offers outstanding natural beauty for both walking and cycling. Meanwhile, the local market town of Sudbury is less than a fifteen-minute drive away and hosts an array of lovely boutiques and eateries well worth discovering. So whether you are the outdoorsy type or a lover of luxe country living, there truly is something for all kinds of visitors in this area of Suffolk.
