Colchester Road, West Bergholt, Essex

SITUATION West Bergholt is a highly-regarded village on the north-western fringe of the City of Colchester, well known for its numerous playing fields and green open spaces surrounded by woodland. There is a popular primary school, post office, doctors' surgery, convenience stores, public houses and parish church. Colchester is about 3 miles distant and offers a comprehensive range of amenities, link road to the A12 and mainline commuter link to London Liverpool Street station.

DESCRIPTION The property is approached via a UPVC grained-effect clad security door, opening to a welcoming sitting room with a UPVC-framed sash bay window with double glazing to the front elevation, a Victorian fireplace with tiled hearth, wooden surround and mantel, a range of open-fronted fitted base units, and stripped oak flooring.

A paddle door leads through to a playroom/snug, featuring a further fireplace with tiled hearth and wooden surround, a staircase to the first floor with useful under-stair storage recess, and stripped pine flooring. This room links directly to the impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, forming part of a two-storey extension by the current owners.

This space is finished with limestone-tiled flooring throughout and fitted with an extensive range of soft-close, grained-effect Shaker-style base units with patterned granite worksurfaces and upstands. A double ceramic sink with mixer tap is set beneath granite surfaces, while notable appliances include:

- Four-door Rangemaster oven with induction hob and plate-warmer
- Rangemaster extraction hood
- Full-height pull-out larder store
- A range of creative storage solutions

The room is further enhanced by a central granite-topped island, traditionally styled column radiators, LED spotlights, and excellent natural light from two Velux windows. A utility store provides space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, complemented by further integrated storage and LED lighting.

At the rear, a triple range of aluminium-framed bi-folding doors open directly onto the terrace and gardens, creating a seamless flow between inside and outside living.

Also set off the kitchen is a ground floor bathroom, appointed with half-height tiling, a ceramic sink unit within a fitted base, traditionally styled sanitary ware, single sink unit and bath with stainless steel shower attachment, and LED spotlights. A stained-glass panelled UPVC-clad security door provides access to the side.


FIRST FLOOR The first floor accommodation is arranged via a linear landing with access hatch to the loft. There are three bedrooms, with the principal bedroom retaining an original Victorian fireplace and finished with plantation shutters to the windows. A family bathroom is set off the landing between bedrooms two and three.

OUTSIDE To the front, the property benefits from off-street parking for two vehicles with side access leading to the rear. The gardens, extending to approximately 175ft, are a particular feature, laid out with areas of mature planting, a decked terrace, and further versatile outbuildings including a range of timber-framed external stores.
