About this property

Charming cottage in beautiful private countryside with a boating lake - The Calf Pens

  • A large and wonderfully proportioned conversion of an old farm building off the beaten track set within the 300 acre grounds of Moat Hall. With high ceilings, wood burner, exposed beams, classic interior décor and antique furniture, the Calf Pens make a distinctive and extremely comfortable rural getaway tucked away on the edge of the Dedham Vale, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are delightful country walks and landscaped lakes to help you lose yourself in the beautiful rolling countryside that inspired John Constable.
