Built around 1818 in the shape of a tea caddy, this Grade II listed cottage in the Dedham Vale is unlike anything you'd ordinarily stumble across down a quiet country lane. Inside, wild wallpapers and curated decor give each room its own character, from the peacock-adorned dining room to a bedroom with a stable door that opens straight onto the garden.

About Dedham Vale
Taking a wooden clinker boat out onto the River Stour on a pleasant day has to be one of the most romantic English experiences you could picture – that is, until you bump into a bank as you glide backwards.
