4 bed detached house for sale

Thaxted Road, Wimbish CB10

Manor Wood is located on the edge of Wimbish, a charming village set amidst the rolling north Essex countryside, just three miles south-east of the historic market town of Saffron Walden. With its meandering lanes, traditional cottages and surrounding farmland, the village enjoys an authentic rural character, while remaining well connected for modern life.

The village itself offers a welcoming community, with a highly regarded primary school, parish church, village hall and local amenities catering to day-to-day needs. A network of footpaths and bridleways provides wonderful walking and riding through unspoilt countryside, with opportunities to enjoy the peace and beauty of this delightful corner of Essex.

For a broader range of shops, restaurants and services, the medieval town of Saffron Walden is close by, renowned for its vibrant market, excellent schooling and cultural attractions including the Fry Art Gallery and Saffron Hall concert venue. Cambridge lies only 16 miles to the north, offering world-class shopping, dining and academic facilities, while London is easily accessible via the M11 and regular rail services from Audley End into Liverpool Street.

Wimbish is the kind of place that perfectly balances tranquillity with convenience – a true rural retreat, yet close enough to major centres for commuting, schooling and leisure.
