Audley End House
King Henry VIII gave Walden Abbey to Sir Thomas Audley, who transformed it into his mansion, Audley End
Dairy House Farm is a working arable and fruit farm and our home is set in the middle with views of open countryside in every direction. The original Georgian farmhouse was extended in 1876 into a wonderfully spacious home with large rooms and many typical Victorian ornamentations.
We have a cosy guests’ sitting room where the kettle is always on the boil and there is home made cake in the tin for tea, or any time of day that may suit! Aga cooked breakfasts with eggs from our own chickens ensure a delicious start to the day.
Although the house has a completely rural setting, it is just a twenty minute stroll to a pub and shop in the village of Bradfield. We are also just one hour by train to London (Liverpool Street) from Manningtree Station (5 miles from here).
Dairy House is an ideal stepping stone to the Continent via the port of Harwich (Parkeston Quay), both for the ferries to the Netherlands and Scandinavia and also for embarking on cruises to the Baltic etc.
We are also very convenient for a short or long stay for those wishing to just enjoy the unique atmosphere of the Suffolk villages just across the border and also the historic features of Colchester (the oldest recorded town in England) as well as Beth Chatto’s Garden, Constable Country and the wonderful beaches along our coastline.
