4 bed detached house for sale

Shire Lane, West Bergholt, Colchester CO6

Tucked away in a cul-de-sac in popular West Bergholt, this four-bedroom detached home gives you plenty to work with. The kitchen/diner is a brilliant everyday family space, there are two further reception rooms when everyone needs to spread out, and upstairs you'll find four good bedrooms and two bathrooms. Outside, there's driveway parking, useful storage and a private garden with a leafy outlook behind. A really well-rounded and beautifully presented family home, with Colchester, the station and A12 all within easy reach.

The Property

The hallway sets things up nicely, with useful storage, a downstairs WC and access into the main living spaces.

At the front, the sitting room is a generous but cosy space, with a bay window bringing in plenty of light and a fireplace creating a natural focal point.

The kitchen/diner is where this home really comes into its own. There's loads of cupboard and worktop space, integrated appliances and a central island with breakfast-bar seating, while still leaving plenty of room for a proper family dining table. Two windows look out over the garden, keeping the whole space feeling bright.

Alongside is a separate playroom/family room with French doors straight onto the patio. It's a great set-up for families, keeping toys and everyday clutter out of the main living room, but it's flexible enough to become a snug, home office or second sitting room as life changes.

Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms. The main bedroom has an impressive run of fitted wardrobes along with its own en-suite shower room, while two of the remaining bedrooms also benefit from built-in storage.

The family bathroom has had a stylish update too, with a bath and shower over, contemporary tiling and brass-toned fittings.

The Outside

The rear garden feels nicely tucked away, with a large paved patio giving you plenty of space for a table, barbecue and summer evenings outside. The rest is mainly lawn, leaving plenty of room for children to play.

What really adds to it is the established greenery beyond the rear boundary, creating a much more open and leafy backdrop than you might expect from a modern development.

At the front, there's driveway parking for two cars, EV charging point while the former garage now provides useful storage.

The Area

West Bergholt is one of those villages that gives you the best of both worlds – a proper village feel, without putting everyday life out of reach.

There are local shops, pubs, a doctors' surgery and pharmacy within the village, along with Heathlands primary school and close to popular secondary schools. Colchester is just a short drive away for everything else, while Colchester North Station and the A12 make this a practical spot for commuters too.
