Outside, the property enjoys excellent kerb appeal, with private off-road parking to the front and double gates leading to a further shingled area, providing additional parking or scope for use as a secure courtyard or garden extension. The south-facing garden to the side is a true highlight—well-screened and unoverlooked, offering a peaceful retreat, ideal for outdoor dining, gardening, or simply unwinding. A wraparound terrace to the rear further enhances the sense of space and seclusion.
West Bergholt is a well-regarded village offering a wealth of amenities including a popular primary school, post office, doctors’ surgery, village stores, public houses, and a parish church, as well as beautiful open green spaces and woodlands.
