The peace and tranquillity here are truly special, and waking up to the rolling countryside never loses its appeal. The barn has such wonderful character, and the land has given us the lifestyle we hoped for.</p><p>One of my favourite things has always been the sunsets, they are truly breathtaking here. I would often rush home along the lane just to catch them; watching the sky blaze over the fields became a daily ritual that never lost its magic.</p><p>Despite feeling wonderfully rural, we are only a short drive from Epping, Harlow and excellent transport links — the perfect balance of countryside living and convenience.”</p>
