Set well back from the road in sought-after East Bergholt, this substantial five-bedroom detached cottage combines mid-century charm with contemporary family living. At around 2,250 sq ft the house offers generous, flexible accommodation across two storeys: a 30' dual-aspect living room, a second reception room, a large open-plan kitchen/family room with bi-fold doors, utility and cloakroom, and a ground-floor study. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite and dressing area; two further bedrooms have en-suites, with a family bathroom completing the first floor.
Outside, a long private gravel driveway leads to an integral garage and ample parking. The large, landscaped garden is arranged for both relaxation and entertaining, centred on a heated outdoor swimming pool with swim jets, pool controls and an equipped entertaining area with electrics and TV point. The plot is substantial and private, offering space for children to play and for outdoor gatherings.
Practical considerations are clear and important for buyers: the house is of solid brick construction and dates from before 1900, with double glazing installed prior to 2002 and no assumed cavity insulation. These features mean potential improvement work for thermal efficiency. Council tax is above average and the pool and large plot will add ongoing maintenance and running costs.
This home will suit families seeking generous rooms, excellent local schools and a peaceful village setting, while buyers with an eye for upgrading energy performance will see clear scope to personalise and modernise. For those wanting out-of-town space, the property delivers privacy, entertaining facilities and immediate move-in presentation.
