Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
A chain free detached bungalow in a sought-after village close to Colchester

1 The Retreat is a substantial detached bungalow located at the end of a small bespoke development of just five properties which is believed to have been built circa 1990’s, in the sought after village of West Bergholt.

Although evidently well-maintained over the years, the property does require a degree of updating. This attractive property is approached by a path into its welcoming reception hall which leads to the versatile accommodation. The triple aspect sitting room of generous proportion benefits from a gas coal effect fire and French doors which lead to the rear garden. The dining room adjacent offers an attractive bay window offering pleasant views of the garden. Beyond this are four bedrooms, a wet room and family bathroom, kitchen/ breakfast room and utility.

Outside, offers a landscaped frontage with attractive raised beds, and a drive offering parking for several vehicles, with a detached double garage and a side access leads to the fully enclosed and private rear garden.

Location
West Bergholt is a pretty village located a short drive from Colchester town centre. The village offers two shops, including a Co-op, a doctor’s surgery, pharmacy, post office, primary school and two public houses (one within walking distance of the property). The village offers excellent transport links, with easy access to the A12 and Colchester North Station just 2.5 miles away, providing direct services to London Liverpool Street in 45 minutes.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on November 8, 2024

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on November 8, 2024

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
