Beautiful city centre Victorian home with hottub | Sleeps 14

**About this space**

Thame Villa is a beautifully restored Victorian home in Colchester with a private hot tub, sleeping up to 14 guests.

Designed for sociable stays, it offers generous living spaces, a large kitchen and dining area, and stylish interiors blending period character with modern comfort - perfect for family gatherings, celebrations, and relaxed group getaways.

Arrive to the impressive double bay frontage of Thame Villa, a beautifully restored Victorian home that immediately sets the tone for what’s inside — space, light, and thoughtful design throughout.

Step into a bright, airy hallway, where you’ll find a stylish sitting room to the left and a cosy snug to the right, both finished with carefully selected furnishings and woodburners for relaxed evenings.

To the rear, the house opens into a generous kitchen and dining space. Fully equipped with everything you need, this is the heart of the home — whether for long breakfasts or evening gatherings. Large windows look out onto the garden, where you’ll find a private hot tub, patio area, hammock, swing seat, and plenty of seating for the whole group. Air conditioning ensures the space remains comfortable in warmer months.

A utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor.
