About the property
Darcy Hall brings timeless grandeur and modern luxury together within the historic walls of a magnificent country estate. Soaring ceilings, original sash windows, hand-crafted finishes and beautifully curated interiors create an atmosphere of quiet sophistication. Every room is framed by lush gardens and glimpses of the priory estate, while generous living spaces invite conversation, celebration and calm. Surrounded by countryside, tidal creeks and salt marshes, it offers tranquillity and easy access to nearby attractions, from the village charm of St Osyth and its beach to the vibrant seaside of Clacton-on-Sea and the cultural appeal of Colchester.
The space
Step through the grand entrance and into a light-filled hallway that immediately sets the tone for the home with understated elegance, soft neutral tones and beautifully restored heritage features. Wide oak floors lead you through the space, unfolding seamlessly from one elegant room to the next.
The main living area is a refined sanctuary. Tall sash windows bathe the room in natural light, while deep sofas, soft throws and a period fireplace create a sense of warmth and comfort.
Just beyond, a stylish dining room offers the perfect setting for leisurely breakfasts or evening meals. A bespoke dining table, contemporary lighting and garden views make it as suitable for lively dinner parties as for peaceful moments.
The kitchen combines classic cabinetry with high-end appliances, making cooking and entertaining effortless. Quartz worktops, an induction hob and thoughtful design touches bring a modern sensibility to the traditional heart of the home.
Each of the three super-king bedrooms is designed as a restful retreat, with one offering the option of twin beds on request. High ceilings and large windows fill the rooms with light, while upholstered headboards, crisp linens and elegant detailing create a sense of calm and indulgence.
Three beautifully appointed bathrooms feature marble tiling, walk-in rainfall showers and luxury fittings, blending modern design with timeless elegance. A deep soaking tub offers a touch of spa-like serenity.
Outdoors, landscaped priory gardens and private seating areas invite slow mornings and golden-hour evenings. A terrace with dining furniture provides the perfect spot for alfresco meals beneath the ancient trees, while the estate's tranquil surroundings create a rare sense of privacy and peace.
