Headland Barn is an outstanding Grade II listed house in the town of Maldon in Essex. This breathtaking property boasts 300-year-old beams, incredible high ceilings, open-plan living and a barbecue in a large garden. Step foot into your new fabulous holiday abode, and on your left, walk into the gorgeous snug room. Sit back on the armchairs or the sofa to take in the large ceilings with exposed beams dating back 300 years. Let the open fire bubble away, and add a blanket of warmth as you settle in. Moving further into the property, meet the open-plan living room with an abundance of natural light coming from the wall windows. In the kitchen area, the chef of the group’s eyes will light up as there is an AGA cooker alongside an electric oven and hob available. Cook up something tasty and plate it up on the dining table, or head outside to the patio area to start up the barbecue if the sun is beaming down. After your dinner, find a show for everyone to watch on the Smart TV. If you want to sit back and unwind, then pick out an armchair or sofa that suits you in the study area and open up the bifold doors to let the fresh air soothe you. Enjoy the sunset in the garden, which has tons of space for the little ones and pets to have tons of fun. Once the night time sky is out and you sense a yanw coming along, call it a night. On the ground floor, there is a double bed with an en-suite shower room available. Head upstairs, with one staircase leading to a king-size room with another en-suite and the other leading to two double bedrooms with a jack-and-jill en-suite shower room. In the mornings, get ready for a new day with a refreshing shower as you explore your local surroundings. A shop and a pub are both a stroll or a short drive away for any essentials or a drink out. In Maldon, spend a day out at the Promenade Park on the Victorian waterfront, get your swimwear out for a day at Maldon Splash Park or take on one another at the Maldon Golf Club. In Chelmsford, run wild at the Ninja Warrior UK amusement park, enjoy plenty of exhibits at the MMuseum of Chelmsford or take in the beautiful scenery at Hylands Park. Slightly further afield in Southend-on-Sea, have a day on the Southend Pier and beach, feeling the waves ripple against your toes, feel the adrenaline running through your veins at Adventure Island or view some sharks at the Sealife Adventure aquarium. Nearby vineyards offer the chance to stroll through picturesque vines, sample gorgeous tasting wines, and enjoy a unique glimpse into the area’s rich winemaking heritage. The property is ideally located within close proximity to London, perfect for city dwellers seeking a countryside escape or for those wishing to spend the day enjoying world-famous attractions such as Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, the London Eye and the Tower of London, along with a spot of shopping in the capital. All this and more waits at Headland Barn, your destination for a dreamworthy holiday.
