The space
Adstocks: Your Boutique Garden Villa

Adstocks is a contemporary, self-contained Garden Villa tucked away on the grounds of a historic Grade II listed home. Designed as a sanctuary for both relaxation and productivity, it blends historic charm with modern "work-cation" luxury.

The Boutique Collection: We have curated a set of features to make your stay feel extra special. Wrap yourself in our fluffy towels and cozy dressing gowns, enjoy a morning brew with Rinaldo's Artisan Coffee, or indulge with the Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser. Immerse yourself in the scent of True Grace reed diffusers and luxury Apothecary products, set the mood with dimmer lighting, or relax on the luxury garden day bed.

The Garden Villa Lifestyle: The heart of the home is a bright, open-plan kitchen and living area. French patio doors open directly onto your private garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Relax with Amazon Prime, Netflix, and YouTube Premium included on the Smart TV, or enjoy your own music on the Bose Mini sound system with Bluetooth connectivity. The kitchen is fully equipped with an electric double oven and hob with extractor, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, microwave, auto-dispensing washing machine and Le Creuset cookware, catering perfectly to short breaks, wedding stays, and relocations.

Work-cation Ready: Ideally suited for digital nomads. The dedicated workspace nook provides a quiet zone separate from the living area. Fitted with a pullout desk, proper office chair, HD monitor, webcam, keyboard and mouse, and fast Wi-Fi, offering everything you need to instantly connect.

The Garden Sanctuary: Your private garden is a tranquil oasis, fully screened with tall, mature shrubs to ensure a high degree of privacy. Alongside the day bed, it features a bistro table for alfresco dining and a soothing water feature—the perfect spot to unwind.

The Peaceful Bedroom A calm retreat designed for deep rest. Sink into the luxury Hypnos mattress for the ultimate night's sleep while enjoying peaceful views over your private garden. Perfect for longer stays, the room offers generous storage with fitted wardrobes and overhead cupboards, ensuring your sanctuary remains spacious and clutter-free.

Prime Location & Wedding Base: Located in historic Great Baddow, we are the ideal base for guests attending events at nearby wedding venues including Hatfield Place, Hylands House, Braxted Park, and Pontlands Park. You are just 10 minutes from Chelmsford City Centre (35 mins train to London) yet steps away from the heart of this historic village.
