The AreaDedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Ricklands House sits within the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, an unspoilt landscape immortalised in the paintings of John Constable. This is a place where rolling farmland, winding lanes and the meandering River Stour create a setting that feels timeless. The network of footpaths, bridleways and cycle routes makes it easy to explore on foot, horseback or bike, with the river offering paddleboarding, fishing and boating. Nearby are the vibrant villages of Nayland and Stoke by Nayland, both with excellent pubs, village shops and an active community spirit. There is a strong choice of schooling, with Nayland Primary and Little Garth close by, and for older children, Colchester Grammar is rated Outstanding. Other options include Old Buckenham Hall, Holmwood House, Culford and Pippens Montessori Nursery. For day-to-day needs and a wider choice of shops and services, Colchester is within easy reach. From here, London Liverpool Street is just under an hour by train, making the area ideal for those wanting countryside living with city connections. Further afield, historic towns such as Lavenham, Hadleigh and Sudbury offer independent shops, galleries and excellent places to eat, adding to the area’s rich mix of culture, history and natural beauty. Opportunity for future development with pool and tennis courts.

Ricklands House, WissingtonAbout this home

Ricklands House blends timeless Georgian style with the comfort and ease of a modern build. Rebuilt less than ten years ago using original bricks, it has the proportions and elegance of a period home, with high ceilings, generous rooms and beautiful symmetry, but without the upkeep an older house demands. Set behind electric gates on a quiet country lane, the house stands at the heart of 4.6 acres in the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Surrounded by open countryside and flanked by bluebell woods, it offers complete privacy, peace and protection. Over the past three years, the house has been redecorated and upgraded with high-quality fittings, including a bespoke Tom Howley kitchen with Miele and Neff appliances. Flooded with natural light, the kitchen opens through floor-to-ceiling glass doors onto a wide terrace. The gardens and grounds offer scope for future enhancements such as a swimming pool, tennis court or further landscaping. The drawing room is equally impressive, with soaring ceilings and French doors to the garden, while the snug and the cinema room with bar, complete with Gaggenau fridge drawer, provide inviting spaces to relax. Upstairs are five bedrooms, three with en suite shower rooms. The principal bedroom is a bright, generous and calming retreat. Above the four-bay car port sits an open-plan one-bedroom flat with fitted wardrobes, a fully equipped kitchen and a bath/shower room. A gym, sauna and stables complete this exceptional home, ready for its next chapter.
