Set within the grounds of a historic country estate in Constable Country, this converted farm building in Higham sits at the edge of an orchard with woodland and a landscaped water garden – the kind of rural access that's hard to resist. French doors open directly onto a walled terrace that catches the afternoon sun, and the barbecue means there's no reason to eat anywhere else on warm evenings. Inside, the living room connects to the kitchen and dining area in one easy, light-filled sweep, and the main bedroom steps straight out into the grounds.
