Property information

Escape awhile at Endymion Lodge where only the birds & your bubbling hot tub disturb the silence… Our luxury 5 AA star self-catering lodge offers dreamy escapism deep within the rural seclusion of N. Essex near Wakes Colne in the breath-taking Colne Valley. Lose yourself in the 500 acres of secluded rolling private land & wander the woodlands that can offer a decent game of hide & seek or a stretching preprandial ramble. While away some time by the magnificent 2 acre private fishing lake stocked with carp & rudd. A playground for wildlife, you may be lucky to catch a glimpse of a kingfisher. Your furry friends will love it too. Set at the end of a mile long private driveway, our ultimate bolthole for couples or a family of four is tucked away in an ancient meadow in undulating countryside, where in decades gone by heavy horses, cattle & sheep would have grazed. Endymion Lodge was made for making memories. You’ll approve of the well-equipped kitchen, the very best of open plan living, the sumptuous en suite bedrooms & the state of the art technology. Outside on the south-facing veranda, the lake and woodlands serve the perfect backdrop.

Neighbourhood information

Although you’ll feel completely disconnected from the rest of the world, there is a wealth of attractions on your doorstep. Endymion Lodge is just a stone’s throw from the historical viaduct at Chappel where there is a shop, post office and a picturesque pub beside the River Colne that serves locally brewed beer. 20 minutes takes you to Britain’s oldest recorded town, Colchester - with attractions including Colchester Zoo and the Roman Castle. World-renowned Constable country is 30 minutes - visit to Dedham Vale, an AONB, home of Flatford Mills, made famous by John Constable’s painting, The Haywain. The beautiful village of Coggeshall, just 12 minutes’ away, is steeped in history & the back drop to TV's Lovejoy. Museums, stately homes & gardens within half an hour’s drive include the Gainsborough House museum & gallery in Sudbury, Marks Hall Gardens & Arboretum, Beth Chatto Gardens & Melford Hall.
