Inside, exposed brickwork adds texture and warmth to both the living area and the double bedroom, offering an immediate sense of individuality.

It’s a space that suits quiet evenings and easy mornings just as well as time spent with company.
The bedroom is generously proportioned, offering a calm retreat set back from the main living area. Its scale, combined with the original brick, lends a quiet confidence to the space, echoing the building’s character without overwhelming it.
Beyond the apartment itself, Free Rodwell House offers a standard of shared amenities rarely found in village settings.

These features, combined with the building’s secure setting, help create a sense of comfort and community.
The location in Mistley places everything within easy reach—river walks, nearby cafes, and connections further afield—while still allowing for a sense of quiet and privacy. It’s a setting that feels removed from the rush but never out of touch.
