Peaceful Essex Barn Retreat | Walks & Wood Burner

Escape to the peace of the north Essex countryside in our beautifully converted barn. With vaulted ceilings, a cosy wood burner and light-filled open plan kitchen/dining/living room, it’s the perfect place for couples and friends to unwind. You can enjoy countryside walks, a charming local pub ‘The Five Bells’ and a village shop straight from the doorstep. Nearby Markshall offers woodland walks and an arboretum. Gosfield Lake, Colchester and the beach at Mersea are a short drive away. The space The barn is designed as an ideal space for couples to relax and unwind. There is a wide and welcoming entrance hall which leads to a super king bedroom to the left and a large shower room opposite. There is a large open plan kitchen / living / dining room and on the first floor is a further mezzanine double bedroom (please bear this in mind when booking as it is open to the main barn area on another level as you can see in the photos). Please note that the garden is quite rustic and a work in progress! There is a little private garden area with table and chairs. Our house is next door to the barn. Guest access The entire barn is available to rent and can be accessed via private entrance to the far right of the property when looking straight at it from the road. Whilst not completely step free, the majority of the accommodation is on the ground floor which works well for those with reduced mobility. Other things to note One of the bedrooms is on the mezzanine level so please note this when booking for young children etc. We always look forward to welcoming our guests to Munns Farm Barn and will always do our very best to make their stay wonderful, but please remember that it is a home not a hotel!
