East Bergholt is a highly desirable village in Suffolk, known for its picturesque setting and proximity to the River Stour. The property’s location benefits from its relative closeness to local amenities and good schools, such as East Bergholt High School and East Bergholt Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School, both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. The nearby Dedham Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School boasts an ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted rating. Commuting is facilitated by the relatively short distance to Manningtree train station (Greater Anglia). However, the limited plot size may be a drawback for some buyers seeking a larger garden.

The bungalow appears to be in excellent condition, with modern fixtures and fittings throughout. The images show a contemporary design and high-quality finishes, suggesting minimal need for repairs or renovations. The property benefits from a large decked area, providing outdoor space for relaxation and entertaining.

While the plot size is listed as 0.00 SQFT, the images clearly show a substantial area of land surrounding the property. This land, while not technically part of the plot, provides a degree of privacy and enhances the overall appeal of the property. The size of this additional land should be considered when assessing the overall value.

Considering the average price per square foot in the area (£182), the list price of £299,950 for an 850 SQFT property seems reasonable, particularly given the modern condition, desirable location, and the additional land surrounding the property. However, a direct comparison with nearby properties is difficult due to the lack of square footage data for most of the comparable listings. The higher-priced nearby properties may reflect larger sizes or superior features, but without detailed information, a precise price comparison is not possible. The average house price in the area is significantly lower (£211,429) and the average house size is significantly larger (1160 sqft), suggesting that this property may represent good value for money, especially for buyers seeking a modern, low-maintenance home in a convenient location.

Therefore, we give this property 8 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
