The property was built in the 15th century, it was originally used as a Mill House when Stoney Lane was a market street. The cottage is in a cobbled street rising steeply towards the churchyard. Fronting the street are three medieval cottages, forming a delightfully picturesque sight. One of these is Dick Turpin's Cottage where he lived as a butcher before he started his life of crime! Another is the famous GuildHall and Lock-up....so children beware or mum and dad may send you to the 15th century prison !

My names Steve, I lived in 6 Stoney for a few years and have enjoyed every minute living in this beautiful town with its picturesque views. I have decided to rent this as a holiday home so others can enjoy the area and all its surrounding beauty. There are a few books in the cottage if your interested in learning the history of Stoney Lane and a few board games and a PS4 for the kids to play (and for us adults who refuse to grow up)

Thaxted has been described as the 'jewel in the crown' of Essex. Thaxted is built around 4 historic buildings; a medieval timber-framed Guildhall and its Lock-up, a restored 18th century windmill, a pair of chocolate box almshouses, and a magnificent medieval church. On top of that, there are historic buildings highlighting every time period from medieval to modern. There are also 3 pubs/restaurants a wine bar, cafe and many other amenities to cater for your every need all within 100 yards of the property. Cycling is very popular in the area to enjoy the lush views and the rolling hills of Thaxted and the surrounding areas. If you wish to bring your own bicycles there is a secure lockable courtyard. Saffron Walden is a 15 minute drive away with it’s beautiful architecture and quaint shops, there’s a miniature railway at Audly End just a short drive away and Mountfitchet Castle locally for a great day out with the kids, also Duxford air museum 30 mins away and Cambridge with its beautiful universities and punting on the canal for all the family to enjoy :)
