About this house rental

St Peter's Cottage is a newly built three-bedroom home in an outstanding countryside location. It is situated in its own half-acre (2,000 m2) garden surrounded by open fields with views across the Blackwater River valley in every direction. The house is located next to the ancient monument of St Peter's Church, dating from the 11th century and now a stained glass artist's studio.

We are delighted to be able to make the cottage available for holidays and long weekends with the opportunity to relish the tranquility of this location and as a base for exploring the outstanding Essex coast and countryside. And with London just 40mins away by train from Witham station (2.5 miles/4km) the capital is in easy reach for sightseeing.

The cottage has an open-plan living space across the whole first floor comprising a generous living room and kitchen dinning area. The space has large picture windows with views over the garden, adjacent church and fields beyond. This is a space that connects with nature and will allow you to enjoy this outstanding setting in any season and in any weather.

On the ground floor there are three good-sized bedrooms and a bathroom/toilet. Each bedroom has its own character and lend themselves to flexible accommodation. The green room has a kingsize double bed; the pink room and blue room can be set up as either twin or double beds.

The cottage has been equipped with new furniture, fittings and appliances throughout, chosen to make every stay trouble free and relaxing.

This is a perfect choice for families who are looking for wide open spaces and a wealth of attractions and places of interest. The garden has a stream running through it which is perfect for paddling but small children must be monitored at all times. There are bicycles available to use, a trampoline and a ping-pong table. There is an outdoor barbecue and we recommend Little Mountain Farm's homegrown meat; the farm can be found in Great Totham.

St Peter's is located close to the Blackwater Estuary which is an area of outstanding natural beauty and with a wealth of watersports activities. Maldon (3miles/5km), is famous for its Thames sailing barges, waterside pubs and historical monuments.

Big name supermarkets can be found in Witham and Maldon and there are also great places to buy local produce. We recommend Jacob's Farm in Haybridge where the vegetables and fruit are homegrown.

The ancient city of Colchester is a 30 minute drive away and the Norman castle, built on the site of the ancient Roman temple houses a fascinating collection tracing the history of the region. Colchester Zoo is another local attraction which is well worth a visit.

Sitting in the middle of a field, with fruit trees, birdsong and far-reaching views, this is the perfect escape from reality.

A thoroughly relaxing and peaceful 10 day stay over Christmas. Beautiful setting and plenty of room for three adults. Indeed it would be fine for 6! Only hiccup was finding the place when the sign had been blown down! But that was partly our fault for arriving in the dark.

After 3 weeks of travelling to Paris, london and Manchester, visiting family and site seeing, this little cottage was a god send, as soon as we walked in the door we felt like we were really on holiday. Light and airy, comfy beds all the amenities you need and to top it off it's in the beautiful countryside surrounded by woods and fields, 5 mins drive to witham which has a train station with direct route to london which is only 35mins away.. perfect location for visiting our aunt and perfect to recover from our travels and to prepare us for the journey back to Australia. Would definitely recommend many thanks

We had a fantastic stay, The place is lovely and has everything we needed. Our 2 children loved the garden as they had the space to run around in and ride the bikes provided. The views are amazing and we watched the sun go down a few times, We would highly recommend this property and look forward to returning in the future, Thank you

Recently enjoyed a 5 night stay at this superb property. We wanted a location close to Colchester to explore the area prior to my daughter starting at the University later this year. The property provided a comfortable base and was close to Maldon and local transport links to make our trips out as easy as possible. Our favourite part of the house was the large garden which was fantastic. A really tranquil place to relax with a book and a beer in the late evening sun. The open plan living area offered fantastic views over the surrounding countryside. The kitchen was equipped with all the basics and we were able to cook full meals each evening without any problem. The bottle of wine and milk in the fridge were appreciated on arrival. We enjoyed a relaxing stress free break and will hopefully return soon once visits to Colchester Uni are required!

Wonderful location surrounded by fields, adjacent to an ancient chapel that is now the studio of renowned stained glass artist, Benjamin Finn. His windows in the chapel are absolutely stunning. The simplicity of the house lets the countryside speak for itself. It is close to most places of interest in Essex. We think it's ideal. The swing made my daughter very happy. We were too busy to get round to using the table tennis table, but the bikes were fun for the boys. Bedrooms are downstairs and disabled accessible. We brought my dad who is in a wheelchair, but can walk a little, we just managed to get him up and down the stairs to the living area once a day. We also brought a bath seat to use over the bathtub. Eating outside is an option.
