Wivenhoe House, Grade II* listed building in Colchester, England
The eighteenth-century Wivenhoe House stands within a 200-acre landscaped green space at the eastern edge of Colchester, featuring ancient oak trees and spacious grounds.
Originally constructed in the 1700s, Wivenhoe House gained recognition when John Constable painted its landscape in 1816, creating a work now displayed in Washington DC.
The property functions as both a four-star hotel and the location of Edge Hotel School, a department of the University of Essex since October 2018.
The building requires specific permissions from local planning authorities for any alterations or extensions due to its protected status as a Grade II* listed structure.
The surrounding parkland contains multiple listed structures, including two gatehouses, a stable block, and a boundary wall with a ha-ha defining the domestic perimeter.
