With treasured public footpaths and country walks galore, right on your doorstep, this is the perfect house for a family break, an easy few days away from the city or a get together for friends and loved ones. Wifi and fully loaded Sky TV with Sky Movies, Sky Kids, Sky Sports and a 75" cinema screen.

The Famous Essex Highwayman: - 0.5 acres of secluded gardens. Country walks. Public footpaths. The famous walk way used regularly by the infamous Dick Turpin and still sign posted to this day, leading you directly to lavishly preserved Blue Bell Inn once used as a hideout by Dick himself and today standing strong as a cherished local pub and exemplary restaurant

The Sampfords are widely known as Essex best kept secret. You are surrounded by nature, beauty and quite a few famous neighbours. This is not a party town and although your neighbours are only few and not very close by, this is a place of rest and relaxation. Peace and not party. Please come and enjoy.
