Jamie Oliver, Baby Spice, The Infamous Kray Twins, DickTurpin the Highway Man and 90's rogue Love Joy, history on your door step.

50 acres of countryside to explore with 4 mapped footpaths provided. The main one being the actual path of DickTurpin the famous Highway Man. Can you find his buried loot?

This Bungalow is on a protected lane of outstanding beauty and set within the grounds of the old territory of Spains Hall, now owned by Jamie Oliver (yes, he will be your neighbour and this is where all his filming now takes place) is this COSY & WARM exclusive detached home surrounded by 1 acre of private, secluded gardens and benefitting from far reaching country views that will simply take your breath away. With over 50 acres of mapped countyside to room, keen walkers and families will have plenty of fresh air and morning walks to take.

Marble floors, granite worktops, and stripped floorboards add to the charm.

PRIVATE, DETACHED & SECLUDED, have your own little forest setting all to yourself. You will not find a more private, peaceful, or relaxing setting than this, whilst still being within walking distance to a 5 star Italian restaurant and less than an hour from London and 30 minutes from Cambridge. 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.

The Famous Essex Highwayman: - 0.5 acres of secluded gardens. Country walks. Public footpaths. The famous route used regularly by the infamous Dick Turpin right opposite your gates and still sign posted to this day, leading you directly to the lavishly preserved Blue Bell Inn, the birth place and original hideout of 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.

Who wouldn't be enamoured with having Muntjac Deer, Wild Owls, Birds of prey, Hares, Pheasants and Herrings, roaming your garden every morning whilst drinking your coffee.

Jamie Oliver is our neighbour, the famous 90's show Lovejoy was filmed regularly on this road and in the next house down. It's a 6 minute drive to the renowned medieval town of Thaxted which was a favourite holiday destination of the notorious Kray Twins of London. In Fact the restaurant and bar they once owned, Parishes, is still standing and is a favourite with locals and buzzing most evenings with walls covered in private memorabilia.

This is a protected but well-kept Lane, which is great for walks, bike rides, roller skates, scooters, and Segways. Taxis are easy to phone and book, there is a village bus service a short walk away, but a car is needed when living somewhere like this. Take a short Segway ride to Shore Hall at the end of the road, which was once owned by Baby Spice, Emma Buntin.

Note from owner: If you see the same property with the same pictures, multiple times, it's because we have various listings of the same property but are offering different configurations for different size groups. Basically, we lock or unlock the required or unrequired number of bedrooms. As soon as a guest books the dates they want for the configuration that suits them, the system synchronises the calenders of the other listings and makes them unavailable. It will not allow more than one guest to book for the same dates. Whoever stays has complete privacy and exclusive access to all amenities listed during their stay. We also list all of our properties on different sites, but wherever you book or message, you will always come through to me. Best wishes. Damian
