**AN** **EXCEPTIONAL** **MID-CENTURY** **HOME** **IN** **THE** **HEART** **OF** **EAST** **BERGHOLT** Discreetly set back from the road in one of East Bergholt's most sought-after locations, this exceptional mid-century cottage combines timeless architecture with contemporary comfort. Beautifully presented and thoughtfully extended, the property offers spacious and flexible accommodation, complemented by a landscaped garden featuring a heated outdoor swimming pool and a superb entertaining area. A Private and Welcoming Approach... The home enjoys a wonderful sense of seclusion, approached via a long, gravel driveway providing ample off-road parking and access to both the covered entrance and integral garage. Beyond its discreet frontage lies a residence designed for relaxed family living and refined entertaining alike. Light, Space and Sophistication... Inside, a welcoming entrance hall flows effortlessly into the dual-aspect living room-a bright, elegant space where natural light streams through full-height windows and double doors overlooking the garden. An inset wood burner brings warmth and atmosphere during cooler months, creating an inviting focal point for family gatherings. The Heart of the Home... Positioned at the rear of the property, the open-plan kitchen and family room form the social heart of the home. The Shaker-style kitchen is finished in warm tones and complemented by quartz worktops with a bevelled drainer. This space connects seamlessly with the dining and casual seating areas, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Bi-fold doors open directly onto the garden, blending indoor and outdoor living and creating an uplifting sense of space and light throughout the seasons. A further sitting room offers a more intimate retreat, perfect for formal dining, reading, or quiet conversation. Completing the ground floor are a cloakroom and a well-equipped utility room, both designed for practicality and ease. Comfort and Elegance Upstairs... The first floor reveals five generously proportioned bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed to balance light, comfort, and functionality. Two bedrooms benefit from their own en-suite shower rooms, while the remaining rooms share a stylish family bathroom. The principal suite provides a true sanctuary. With its calming atmosphere, dressing area, and private en-suite shower room, it offers both luxury and seclusion. Sliding doors open to a Juliet balcony, framing delightful garden views and enhancing the room's sense of openness. A dedicated study provides a quiet space for remote working or study, while a large under-eaves storage cupboard adds practicality to the upper floor. An Idyllic Outdoor Retreat... The exterior of the property has been beautifully landscaped to create a space that is both tranquil and sociable. A combination of lawn and paved areas leads to an expansive patio-perfect for outdoor dining, summer parties, or simply relaxing in the sun. At the heart of the garden lies the heated swimming pool, complete with swim jets and surrounded by neatly landscaped borders. This feature creates a resort-like atmosphere, ideal for both family enjoyment and entertaining guests. The adjoining entertaining area-fitted with electrics and a TV point-extends the home's living space outdoors, offering a wonderful setting for gatherings or peaceful evenings beneath the Suffolk sky. A Rare Opportunity... This remarkable home offers the perfect balance of seclusion, style, and convenience. Combining mid-century charm with modern luxury, it provides an exceptional living environment within one of Suffolk's most desirable villages. Situated in the heart of East Bergholt, the property enjoys excellent local amenities, beautiful countryside walks, and easy access to nearby Dedham Vale and Constable Country. Its superb setting, combined with the quality and flexibility of the accommodation, makes this a truly special opportunity for those seeking a distinctive family home in an outstanding location.  **ENTRANCE** **HALL** **12' 8" x 5' 8" approx. \(3.86m x 1.73m\)**   **LIVING** **ROOM** **30' 6" x 14' 2" approx. \(9.3m x 4.32m\)**   **SITTING** **&** **DINING** **ROOM** **15' 3" x 10' 10" approx. \(4.65m x 3.3m\)**   **CLOAKROOM** **5' 8" x 2' 7" approx. \(1.73m x 0.79m\)**   **ENTRANCE** **LOBBY** **8' 3" x 7' 1" approx. \(2.51m x 2.16m\)**   **KITCHEN** **&** **BREAKFAST** **ROOM** **18' 7" x 14' 9" approx. \(5.66m x 4.5m\)** Open plan with family room.  **FAMILY** **ROOM** **21' 5" x 7' approx. \(6.53m x 2.13m\)** Open plan with kitchen & breakfast room.  **UTILITY** **ROOM** **14' 6" x 6' 2" approx. \(4.42m x 1.88m\)**   **INTEGRAL** **GARAGE/GYM** **18' 3" x 9' 1" approx. \(5.56m x 2.77m\)**   **LANDING**   **PRINCIPAL** **BEDROOM** **19' 2" x 13' 10" approx. \(5.84m x 4.22m\)** Juliet Balcony.  **PRINCIPAL** **ENSUITE** **8' 1" x 6' 6" approx. \(2.46m x 1.98m\)**   **DRESSING** **AREA**   **BEDROOM** **TWO** **15' 7" x 14' 6" approx. \(4.75m x 4.42m\)**   **BEDROOM** **TWO** **ENSUITE** **5' 11" x 3' 10" approx. \(1.8m x 1.17m\)**   **BEDROOM** **THREE** **12' 3" x 11' 9" approx. \(3.73m x 3.58m\)** Concealed access to loft room.  **LOFT** **ROOM** **16' x 6' 11" approx. \(4.88m x 2.11m\)**   **BEDROOM** **FOUR** **11' 11" x 11' approx. \(3.63m x 3.35m\)**   **BEDROOM** **FIVE** **11' 11" x 8' 6" approx. \(3.63m x 2.59m\)**   **FAMILY** **BATHROOM** **6' 4" x 5' 8" approx. \(1.93m x 1.73m\)**   **STUDY** **6' 8" x 5' approx. \(2.03m x 1.52m\)**   **OUTDOOR** **ENTERTAINMENT** Pool controls are located in the pool house at the end of the garden.
