About this property

    Situated in the popular village of Layer-de-la-Haye, this extended three bedroom detached family home offers comfortable living space in a desirable semi rural setting just five miles south of Colchester. The village itself is thriving, benefitting from a well-regarded primary school and convenient local stores, while the nearby Abberton Reservoir provides beautiful surroundings and a splendid visitor centre managed by the Essex Wildlife Trust. The surrounding countryside is particularly attractive, making this an ideal location for those seeking village life with easy access to the city.

    The property welcomes you into a hallway leading into the lounge. The lounge offers a warm and inviting living space and features an electric fireplace. The dining room provides an excellent setting for family meals and entertaining, and in turn leads through to the conservatory. This additional space is versatile and could serve as a further reception area, garden room or a useful home office. The kitchen is well arranged and fitted with an integrated hob, along with space for further appliances. Ample storage is also provided by a good range of cupboards set within work surfaces that sweep around to form a practical breakfast bar. A cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

    Upstairs, the first floor offers two comfortable double bedrooms and a well-proportioned single bedroom. The main bedroom is positioned to the front and benefits from a walk in wardrobe. The remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.

    Externally, the property enjoys a driveway to the front providing off road parking for at least two vehicles, in addition to a garage with benefits from both power and lighting. To the rear, the enclosed garden offers a pleasant outdoor space featuring patio and seating area, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A shed will remain at the property.

    Overall, this home provides well balanced accommodation in a sought after village location and would make an excellent choice for families or those looking to enjoy the charm of countryside living while remaining close to Colchester.
