This utterly charming Grade I listed cottage located in the heart of Dedham is one part of this array of important medieval buildings - whose origins lie in the opulent wool trade.
Dedham itself has enticed visitors with its rural riverside beauty over hundreds of years. The decline of the wool trade gave way to Dedham forging its way to become a centre of academics - underlined in 1575 by Elizabeth I granting a license to Dedham Grammar School. This Royal acknowledgement brought many prosperous families to the village so that their sons could attend here. One such boy, a son of a local mill owner, attended the school and later became one of Britain’s most famous artists - John Constable. Constable's family lived in nearby East Bergholt and the young artist later wrote that he was so inspired by the beautiful scenery he wandered through every day on his way to school - that he became an artist.
The timber-framed Southfields - of which our property forms a part - was erected circa 1125 and serves as a reminder of the depth of history in this beautiful North Essex village.
Our property offers a wealth of period features - with exposed timbers to every room. Although an historic cottage, the main living accommodation is spacious, light and airy, with two double bedrooms and bathroom of the first floor.
There is a small, low-maintenance garden to the front and an allocated parking space.
