Property information

Gin and Toffee is a beautifully restored railway carriage featuring a bright and rustic, yet stylish, design which offers serenity from the doorstep with historical charm and rural tranquillity.

Neighbourhood information

Enjoy the peaceful beauty of the local countryside with a walk or cycle around Cutlers Green, a picturesque hamlet nestled within the civil parish of Thaxted, in the Uttlesford district of Essex. It offers a tranquil rural setting surrounded by open fields and a welcoming, close-knit community atmosphere. It’s the perfect place to experience the slower pace of country life.

Each offers a warm atmosphere and hearty, traditional fare that perfectly complements a day spent outdoors. If you’re looking for a day by the sea, Clacton-on-Sea lies about 35 miles from Thaxted and is one of Essex’s most popular coastal destinations.

Just outside town, you’ll find Audley End House and Gardens, a magnificent 17th-century country house managed by the English Heritage, surrounded by stunning parkland. If you happen to visit in the summer, the Thaxted Festival offers a wonderful series of classical, jazz, and folk music performances held in historic venues across the town. In spring, Thaxted also hosts the Morris Dancing weekend, a lively celebration of English folklore with colourful costumes, music, and traditional dancing filling the streets. For an exciting day trip, Cambridge is easily reachable by car or train. Famous for its...
