Just 200 yards from the waterfront and quay on the River Stour’s tidal estuary, situated in the heart of Manningtree’s conservation area, and within easy walking distance from shops and restaurants – this charming recently renovated listed cottage is an ideal base for exploring the region’s rich history, the unspoilt countryside of Constable’s Dedham Vale, Flatford and the coast of Essex and Suffolk.
The estuary is a haven for wild fowl & wading birds and from the waterfront there are stunning views across the river to Suffolk. The area is a walkers’ paradise with The Essex Way passing through the town and the start of The Suffolk Coastal Path just over the water. Manningtree is a small, quiet market town with everything you could need for a relaxing short break or longer stay. Nearby there is Colchester Castle, and Colchester Zoo, great beaches at Frinton-on-Sea, Jimmy’s Farm and picturesque medieval villages to explore. And with regular fast trains from Manningtree Station, London and Norwich are only an hour away.
