Whitesfield, East Bergholt, Colchester, Suffolk CO7

Tucked away on the sought-after private road of Whitesfield in East Bergholt, this beautifully converted, five-bedroom house offers a rare blend of space, style, and privacy. Finished to a high standard throughout, the property combines modern comfort with a quiet village setting—ideal for those looking to enjoy relaxed living in a prime location.

The ground floor centres around an outstanding kitchen and family room, designed for both everyday living and entertaining. This beautifully appointed space is finished with high-spec features including a Quooker Cube, insinkerator waste disposal, refrigerated drawers within the island, underfloor heating and air conditioning for added comfort. The open layout flows easily between zones while full-height glazing brings in natural light and garden access. Also on this level is a well-considered guest suite, offering a private bedroom with air conditioning, an ensuite, and a separate dressing area. A dedicated utility room provides practical storage and workspace, while the sitting room offers a more private retreat. Two further bedrooms and a sleek family bathroom complete the floor, all arranged to balance flexibility and function.
The first floor has been thoughtfully converted from the loft and further extended, creating a bright and spacious principal bedroom with clean lines and a calm, airy feel which is complemented further by a built-in air-conditioning unit, ensuring a comfortable, ambient, year-round temperature. The generous dressing area is designed with functionality and flow in mind, while the ensuite bathroom - with separate WC - offers a sleek, modern finish with both a walk-in shower and separate bath. A further double bedroom is positioned on this floor, along with a discreet plant room and useful eaves storage, all carefully arranged to maximise space and practicality.
The property sits centrally within its plot with well-kept front and rear gardens, and a gravel driveway providing plenty of space for parking, with a second separate driveway to the side. To the rear, a wide patio spans the width of the house, ideal for relaxed outdoor dining and entertaining. The west-facing garden is mainly laid to lawn, enclosed by mature hedging for privacy and ease of maintenance. A fully insulated garden office is discreetly positioned at the back—perfect for home working or focused creative use, away from the main house.
