About this property
Adorable cottage with a log burner in heavenly village - Constable Lodge
An adorable cottage in the central village of Constable’s Dedham Vale that boasts a complete renovation including oak wooden flooring, log burner, new kitchen and large bathroom along with sun trapping front and rear gardens. With clever use of all the space the cottage creates exceedingly comfortable living areas ideal for romantic and family getaways. Being on the edge of an affluent and historic village provides easy access to local shops, a great riverside pub and wonderful walking along the River Stour and the beautiful rolling countryside that inspired John Constable.
