The Gate Lodge is a (pet and smoke free) one bedroomed detached cottage that sits within a private and gated property in Hawkspur Green which is rural hamlet that is located close to the villages of Finchingfield, Great Bardfield and Thaxted in the Pant Valley. We are close to the market town of Saffron Walden and only a 35 minute drive away from the city of Cambridge. The Gate Lodge cottage is private and secluded and set back back from a small single track lane. The property is modern and very comfortable with a fully fitted kitchen with modern built in appliances.

Keith and Carrie-Ann own the Gate Lodge which has formed part of their property since they moved into the area in 2014. The Gate Lodge until only 2025 has been used for family use only as a annex to the main house. Having a young family and living in such a rural location, we spend a lot of time at home to enjoy the local scenery nature and local walks.

The local area has lots of walks, footpaths and bridleways on its doorstep to enjoy the North Essex rolling contryside. We are a only short distance to the nearby historic villages of Finchingfield, Great Bardfield and Thaxted which have lovely country pubs, restaurants, tea rooms and local independent shops. We are only a short drive to the market town of Saffron Walden which has lots of historical buildings and tourist attractions such as Audley End House, the castle (ruins), museum, gardens and the town centre common. We are only a 15 minute drive from the Suffolk and Cambridgeshire borders and are very close to the cities of Cambridge and Chelmsford which are approximately 35 minutes drive. Bury St Edmunds and Colchester is a 50 minute drive by car. We are also only 20 minutes drive away from Stansted Airport. Our property is suited to couples (or close friends) and sleeps only two persons with a king size bed. Our property is strictly pet and smoke free.
