Escape to the peace and beauty of the Essex countryside with a stay in The Bungalow, a delightful three-bedroom property perfectly situated in the picturesque village of Ardleigh.

Set within beautifully maintained private grounds, this charming single-storey home is ideal for families or couples seeking a relaxing rural retreat with easy access to the coast and countryside. Inside, the bungalow offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere with comfortable furnishings and plenty of natural light.

The spacious open-plan living area is the perfect spot to unwind after a day exploring the region, with plush seating, a flat-screen TV, and beautiful views across the garden.

The dining area seats six and flows into a well-equipped kitchen designed for a self-catered stay.

The property features three inviting bedrooms: two doubles and one twin.

The bathroom, which is off the third bedroom, has a corner bath with a shower, a toilet, and a sink, completing the interior layout. Outside, the grounds are serene and full of natural charm and are a delight to explore.

Enjoy your morning coffee or evening wine on the decking, serenaded by birdsong.

Wander the expansive lawns, surrounded by mature trees and colourful shrubs.

Explore the peaceful lakes and a natural spring that meanders through the estate. (Please note: the pond and lakes are unfenced—children must be supervised at all times.) With ample space for outdoor play, picnics, or al fresco dining as the sun sets over the trees, The Bungalow is a truly special escape—whether you’re seeking quiet reflection or quality time with loved ones. Located just a short drive from the historic town of Colchester, The Bungalow provides easy access to local attractions such as Colchester Zoo, Colchester Castle, museums, theatre, shopping, and restaurants.

Dedham Vale AONB and the scenic Essex coast—pop along to Mersea Island for its famous oysters—are also within reach.

Ardleigh itself is a lovely village with local shops, a pub, and countryside walks right on the doorstep. Whether you’re here to explore the natural beauty of the Stour Valley, enjoy a seaside day out, or simply unwind in peaceful surroundings, this lovely bungalow offers the perfect base.

Free Wi-Fi, central heating, and off-road parking are included for your convenience.
