The Outdoors
Fairview’s garden embraces nature, with what others describe as ‘weeds’ proliferating the wild edges.

The garden is left a month between cuts to aid flowers, local bees and the visiting wildlife, with rabbits, pheasant, fox, deer and many species of birds wandering through occasionally.

Growth springs up in different spots throughout the year.
Snowdrops early in the year then Bluebells from March, wild garlic helps keep bugs at bay by the back door.
The cherry blossom of spring has a scent that captivates. Wild strawberries litter an area outside the lounge window. Even in October, as the sunset lowers out of the back window, flowers pop from the borders to delight. There is lots to discover here throughout the year, including the increasingly rare Fyfield Pea that flowers twice a year.

The Location
When they talk ‘location’, while this might be on an active B-road, it’s also often a haven with all that you need for a relaxing time away, right on your doorstep.

Just a 22 minute drive to Epping Station (Central Line) for London, or the same north for Stansted Airport (a viable option pre-flight), as well as 30 minutes away from Epping Forest and a plethora of golf courses all around.

Check out Top Golf, Lee Valley for rafting, Foot- and crazy-golf, many canal or forest walks and so much more just a short drive away.

Closer to home, this family-activity-filled home is surrounded by a network of footpaths to explore including the Essex Way.

Parking
Driveway has ample parking for 5 cars, 6/7 at a squeeze.
Just a few houses down from the house is a layby, but this should be avoided please, as ‘private road’ notices have recently been installed.

Pets
We welcome well-behaved, house-trained owners and their very well behaved pets – but please keep them downstairs and out of bedrooms to aid anyone with mild allergies, thank you.

Fairview is on a road that many a ‘transit’ enthusiast loves to drive or ride, so please don’t say we didn’t warn you that you will hear passing traffic and farming machinery.

Highlights, however, are that it’s on the run for most UK bike events and, annually, the very-lit, overnight, Dunwich Dynamo. And when it’s quiet, it’s very quiet.

We offer flexible check-in and check-out times, however where we have guests coming or leaving the same day we may apply usual check-in times after 16:00 and check-out times before 10:00.

There is a keylock box available so collecting the key and access anytime should be possible. You will need to return the key to the keylock box when you checkout. We require you to provide your arrival and departure timing to agree checkin and checkout times so we can coordinate with other guests. If you stay beyond your agreed check-out time you will be liable to pay for an extra night at your average nightly price.

The cleaning fee covers cleaning and preparation of the property for your stay as well as a set of fresh linen and towelling provided for each guest. This includes one set per your stay, should you require additional towelling or linen please request this or if you have opened a fresh pack even if you use only a few items there will be a charge of £30 per pack - each pack contains fresh linen, large and small towels.

We trust you will respect the property and neighbours during your stay.
