Holiday rental: 1 bed Cottage in Hertfordshire Essex England, for rent short term

Postcard from Thaxted

From its charming seafoam-green exterior to its sunny loft living space – a delightful area to unwind after a busy day – this home is the perfect marriage of period features and modern comforts. Tucked away in the village of Thaxted, it's right next to Clarence House – a beautiful 18th-century, Grade 1, Queen Anne listed property.
Inside, the living room is a bright and welcoming space with its wood staircase, original beams and wall mouldings, and sash windows that flood the loft in natural light throughout the day. There's a sleek, modern kitchen ladened with everything needed for rustling up hearty breakfasts. It's been recently renovated so everything here is sparkling new, from the stylish bathroom to the comfortable bedroom. You're sure to get a peaceful night’s sleep thanks to the striking four-poster bed and church facing position.
While you could easily spend all day tucked inside your cosy cottage, go out and explore your surroundings. Head to the local market on Fridays, which takes place opposite the Guildhall. Here, you'll also find plenty of boutique-style shops, cafes and pubs to stop for a drink. Just beyond is John Webb's windmill (three minutes on foot), which is the gateway to many country walks accessible from the village.
*We recommend a car for exploring the area fully – there's a free car park on Margaret Street (thirty seconds round the corner)
*Guests are welcome to pull up on the cobbles outside of Clarence House to unload and settle in first
*The WiFi can be a little patchy here
*You'll be able to self-check-in with a lockbox
*Your host provides a travel cot and high chair on request
*After a few consecutive showers, the hot water needs a bit of time to replenish itself
