About
The Island is a highly sought-after riverside setting located on the Suffolk-Essex border, renowned for its scenic beauty and tranquil environment.
The River Stour forms the centrepiece of the local landscape, offering a unique waterside lifestyle with opportunities for walking, boating and wildlife observation.

The property lies within easy reach of Dedham Vale, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, celebrated for its rolling countryside, historic villages and cultural significance.
The area is particularly well regarded for its local dining, with the acclaimed Talbooth Restaurant visible across the river, and for convenient transport links via nearby Manningtree and Colchester, providing mainline rail services to London Liverpool Street.

At first floor level, the landing gives access to two walk through bedrooms, both featuring stripped timber flooring, together with an en-suite cloakroom.
