4 bed detached house to rent

Mount Bures, Bures, Essex CO8

Rumps Barn is located in a country lane within walking distance from a traditional pub and offering some of the most stunning views in the region. This converted barn sits on a plot of approximately 1/2 an acre and offers character throughout.

You are welcomed into a central hallway that provides access to both wings of this beautifully converted barn. There are two built-in storage cupboards as well as doors opening to the rear garden.

To the west lies a living room or dressing room that leads through to the principal bedroom with en-suite. This area feels nicely self-contained and could easily be separated from the main house if desired.

The kitchen/dining room is a stunning open-plan space, featuring a central wood burner, exposed oak beams, and breathtaking views across the Stour Valley through twin sets of bi-folding doors. A staircase rises to a galleried landing with a vaulted ceiling, adding to the sense of space and character.

The kitchen itself is comprehensively fitted with black granite work surfaces and has direct access to the utility room, which includes an external door, cloakroom suite, and boiler cupboard.

To the first floor, there are two double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, and a family bathroom.

Externally, there is ample off-road parking. The gardens include a paved terrace immediately outside the kitchen/dining room with a covered veranda seating area, stepping down to a large lawn enclosed by a mature hedge. To the north side of the property lies a partly walled, enclosed courtyard offering further private outdoor space.

Additional Notes

There is a koi pond with mature fish. The owners are happy to maintain the pond and would require daily access to do so.

The owners are also willing to maintain the gardens, including lawn cutting.

The buffalo head mounted in the stairwell is a permanent fixture and must remain in situ.
