Essex and Suffolk SPAB are pleased to offer the opportunity to meet with other SPAB members and guests with a visit, tour and two course dinner at Houchins, a grade 2* listed building in the wonderful Essex countryside, just outside Coggeshall.
Houchins Farmhouse is a grade 2* listed building dating from circa 1590, it is a heavy timber framed and plastered building, jettied at the first and second floors. The building boasts 17th-century oak panelling and carved grotesque figures to name a few.
This building is set in the lovely Essex countryside with traditional farmyard gardens. The site is still a working farm but runs as a wedding venue with the main house being used as accommodation. This event will be a guided tour by the events manager of the house and stroll round the gardens, followed by evening dinner and a chance to sit down with other likeminded members and friends.
