PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
LOCATION

Lawford Place is a private gated community developed by Hopkins Homes within the last fifteen years and it is situated close to Manningtree, set on the south bank of the beautiful River Stour.

The Stour runs through Constable Country, providing walks to Flatford Mill and Dedham Vale, home of John Constables painting, The Hay Wain. The river downstream from Manningtree is a delightfully interesting estuary walk through an area of outstanding natural beauty.

Ipswich and Colchester towns are approximately 30 minutes by car or 15 minutes by train and the Manningtree mainline station, which is a 10 minute walk, serves Liverpool Street in just under the hour.

Upon entering Lawford Place you are met by a 180ft Sequoias, normally found on the slopes of Sierra Nevada and the notable landmark and at the centre of the development is a splendid Grade II listed Manor House providing an innovative example of contemporary newly built homes alongside a grand nineteenth century period dwelling.

COMMUNAL LAND

The Lawn, Meadow and surrounding communal green space is regularly maintained by a professional landscape services company. Woodland tree maintenance is provided by a specialist tree surgeon.

There is an enthusiastic group that ensures the communal facilities are enjoyed by all residents, including Summer events on the green and Easter Egg hunts in the woods.

There is an abundance of wildlife making the walk around the woodland trails magical and tranquil.

A super place to picnic and for children to explore. We strongly advise setting enough time aside when viewing to take in everything this unique superior development offers for the price.
