History This is the attractive house in Spring Road, at the beginning of Chapel Lane. The construction dates from 1300 ad to the late 15th century. Officially a Grade II* listed building, it is thought to have been the Maltings for the Priory, the house occupied by the Master Maltster and the actual Maltings were roughly where the Methodist Church and Scout Hut stands today.
Spring Road was then called Pond Street.
Features of importance are one of the earliest brick lined cellars in Essex, a deep well with grating and indications of a tunnel to the Priory. There is also believed to have been a Priest's bolt hole on the first floor, with access from the loft, yet perfectly concealed, dating from early the 16th century.
Location The property occupies an enviable position within the historical coastal village of St Osyth which is an English
village and civil parish in the Tendring District of north-
east Essex, about 12 miles (19.3 km) south-east of
Colchester, which lies between the towns of Clacton-on-
Sea and Colchester off of the B1027.
The Curve Water Sports Park based near the quay in Mill
Lane offers wake boarding, stand up paddle boarding,
kayaking, swimming, ringo rides and an inflatable obstacle
course.
Additionally, the village offers interesting country
walks and a varied range of shopping facilities for day to
day needs, public houses, chemist and takeaways.
Nearby is St Osyth's Abbey (originally and still commonly
known as The Priory) which was a house of Augustinian
canons and reputed to be one of the largest monasteries
in Essex. The gatehouse, dating from the late 15th century, is the most significant remnant of the original monastic structures still standing,
Clacton town offers a further range of varied shopping
facilities and has rail links to the London Liverpool Street
with the neighbouring village of Great Bentley also
offering a mainline railway station.
