Summary - SUNSET COTTAGE GASTON STREET EAST BERGHOLT COLCHESTER CO7 6SS
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Renovated 1700s cottage with modern kitchen, garage and landscaped garden.
Newly renovated detached period cottage with abundant exposed beams
Sunset Cottage is a beautifully renovated detached period home that blends original 1700s character with contemporary fittings. The house offers three first-floor bedrooms, a generous living room with an open brick fireplace and exposed beams, and a luxurious fitted kitchen/dining room with quartz worktops and bi-fold doors to the garden. Recent works include new double-glazed windows with bespoke shutters, a refitted bathroom and cloakroom, and a Worcester gas boiler installed in August 2025.
Practical family-focused spaces include a utility room, cloakroom, off-street parking for several cars, a single garage and a separate garden room/home office. The rear garden is landscaped and equipped for outdoor living, with decking, an outdoor shower area and space for a hot tub. Broadband and mobile coverage are excellent and the village has strong local amenities, good schools and convenient A12 transport links.
Notable considerations: the property has just one family bathroom and one smaller bedroom, which may suit families with older children or requiring staggered bathroom use. Planning permission for converting the outbuilding into an annexe had previously been granted but has now lapsed. Ceiling heights vary, with lower ceilings in parts of the living room, reflecting the cottage’s historic construction.
Overall this is a character-rich, recently renovated family cottage for buyers who value village life, period features and move-in-ready accommodation, while being aware of the single-bathroom layout and the lapsed annexe permission.
