This deceptively spacious Grade II listed thatched home, Hospytts, sits within expansive, beautifully private grounds in the sought-after village of Great Horkesley. Dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries, the property masterfully unites the romance of its heritage with the comfort and practicality of modern family living. The main house, paired with a generous two-storey west wing, offers exceptional seclusion, charm, and character. The extensive grounds create a safe, adventurous environment for children and offer endless possibilities, from keeping small livestock to accommodating a pony. With five bedrooms, ten reception rooms, and nearly 3,900 sq. ft. of highly versatile accommodation, Hospytts represents a rare opportunity to acquire a residence of exceptional charm, privacy, and provenance. The property has been lovingly restored and maintained by the current owners over the past 18 years, retaining a wealth of original period detail. The home offers a perfect balance of rural tranquility and urban accessibility, with scenic walks, bridleways, and farm tracks beginning from the doorstep, and Colchester's mainline station just minutes away.
