Dairy Farm Cottage is an 18th‑century Grade II listed detached home set in the desirable conservation area of East Bergholt. The house combines substantial period rooms — twin reception rooms with inglenooks and exposed beams — with a vaulted, open-plan Plain English kitchen/breakfast room that opens onto a large private garden and raised patio. The modern rear extension benefits from underfloor heating and plentiful natural light.
Practical outbuildings and parking add real everyday value: two garages, a cart lodge/carport and generous off‑road parking sit to the rear of the plot. Modern services include gas central heating, a mains pressure hot water system, an RCD consumer unit, water softener, external CCTV and an internal alarm. Ultrafast broadband is available via multiple providers.
Buyers should be aware this is a listed property — any alteration will be restricted and may require specialist consent and ongoing maintenance to historic fabric. Windows in the original part are single glazed historical units with secondary glazing fitted; this preserves character but is less thermally efficient than full modern glazing. Council Tax Band E reflects above‑average local charges.
This house will suit buyers seeking a character family home in a highly affluent village setting with strong community amenities, good schools and easy access to the A12 and Manningtree station. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, garden and blend of period detail with practical modern additions.
