Location

The neighbourhood

Set within the historic grounds of a private estate on the Essex coast, this serene location blends centuries of heritage with sweeping natural beauty. The surrounding landscape is defined by gently rolling countryside, tidal creeks and salt marshes, offering a rare sense of calm and connection to nature.

Just beyond the estate, the charming village of St Osyth is an easy walk away. Here, you’ll find independent shops, a traditional pub, a tearoom and local amenities, all with a warm village atmosphere. The community is steeped in history and the Priory itself is one of England’s most significant heritage sites, with origins dating back more than 1,000 years.
