Large private plot, modern energy systems and single-floor family living.
Four double bedrooms and single-storey living across c.1,679 sq ft
Maythorns is a spacious, single-storey detached bungalow set on a generous, private plot in the desirable village of East Bergholt. Substantially extended in 2021 and newly renovated, the house delivers flexible family living across c.1,679 sq ft: four double bedrooms, a large sitting room with open fire, an open-plan kitchen/snug/dining area and a bright conservatory that takes full advantage of the westerly garden aspect.
Practical running costs have been considered: the roof-mounted 6.4 kW solar photovoltaic array with 12 kW battery storage is paired with an air-source heat pump and a mix of underfloor heating and radiators. The layout is well suited to single-floor living for families or downsizers who value space and privacy, with a wide in-and-out driveway, integral single garage and easy walking access to the village school, Co-op and local amenities.
The plot is a genuine asset — level, private and predominantly lawned with a large paved terrace, mature beds and a maturing walnut tree. There is scope to add value through modest further extension or landscaping (subject to planning), or to tailor interiors to personal taste despite the recent renovation. Ultrafast broadband is available, supporting home working needs.
Important factual points: the building dates from the 1950s–1960s and was extended in 2021, so buyers should note the mixed-period construction and confirm any required surveys. Some window and door install dates are unknown. Mobile signal is average. Overall the property offers a rare combination of generous single-storey accommodation, modern energy technology and a private village location.
