Summary - HERMITAGE COTTAGE QUINTONS ROAD EAST BERGHOLT COLCHESTER CO7 6RB
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious family home with pool, large plot and flexible living spaces.
Five double bedrooms with principal en-suite and dressing area
A rare, substantial village home discreetly set back from Quintons Road, Hermitage Cottage blends period charm with contemporary living across two floors. The heart of the house is a large open-plan kitchen/family room with bi-fold doors to a paved entertaining terrace and heated outdoor swimming pool, creating an easy flow for family life and summer gatherings. Five double bedrooms, including a principal suite with dressing area and en-suite, plus a separate study, give genuine flexibility for family living, home working or guest accommodation.
Practical strengths include a long private gravel driveway with generous parking, an integral garage, mains gas central heating and fast broadband in a very low-crime, affluent village location. The mature landscaped gardens and sizable plot provide privacy and scope for further landscaping or leisure uses. Local schools rated Good are nearby, strengthening this property’s appeal to families.
Known limitations are factual and straightforward: the house was constructed before 1900 with solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated), and the double glazing dates from before 2002 — both may affect thermal efficiency and future running costs. Council tax is above average for the area. While the pool and outdoor electrics are in place, routine maintenance of the pool and garden is required to keep these features in optimum condition.
Overall, this is a generous family residence in a sought-after Suffolk village, offering immediate move-in comfort with clear potential for energy improvements and personalised updates. It will suit buyers seeking space, privacy and an outdoor lifestyle, and those happy to invest selectively to enhance energy performance and reduce running costs.
