Ultimate Constable Country retreat -The Pump House | Apartment in Colchester
1 Bedroom Apartment in Stoke by Nayland, Colchester
A dedicated labour of love rejuvenated this 1930s Art Deco utility building in a sublime and secluded rural setting. It is the ultimate Constable Country retreat nestled in a private wild water meadow next to the River Box that runs through the Dedham Vale. Originally built in 1938 as the village pumping station, it was fully restored and extended in 2005 to create an ethereal space with unrivalled connection to its stunning natural landscape thanks to extensive use of glass. With wonderful walks, two fantastic pubs and uninterrupted south facing views over the Box Valley, The Pump House is an extraordinary sanctuary of bucolic peace and beauty.
