Moor End is a 420 acre (170 hectare) arable farm worked by the same family since 1935. The Granary was built in the 1880s by the Countess of Warwick as a model farm for the mixed farming of that era. This Victorian Granary has now been sympathetically converted into 5 self contained holiday homes.
This 4 Star farm holiday accommodation for couples and families of 4-6 is comfortable, stylish and well equipped. The largest country cottages sleeps 6 in 2 bedrooms, while the smaller ones for couples - working or on holiday – are equally well equipped and full of character.
These Essex holiday homes may be let together for group bookings and extended families.
