A Four-Bedroom Detached Home in the Village of Layer-de-la-Haye

Set on a generous half-acre plot, this beautifully presented four-bedroom detached home is situated in a peaceful no-through road in the highly sought-after village of Layer-de-la-Haye. Offering a wealth of space, character, and exciting potential for further extension or reconfiguration, this property presents a rare opportunity to create a truly bespoke family home.

Stepping inside, you are welcomed into a spacious hallway, where an ornate solid oak staircase—installed during a loft conversion—serves as an impressive focal point. To the left, the lounge/dining room boasts a charming fireplace and a bright, airy atmosphere, with French doors leading into the conservatory, which enjoys panoramic views over the rear garden. This space seamlessly connects to the kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with a range of base and eye-level units incorporating an oven, hob, and sink.

The ground floor further comprises two well-proportioned bedrooms, both with garden views and benefiting from built-in wardrobes. A family bathroom with a separate bath and shower, a utility room, and a separate WC complete this level, along with internal access to the integral garage.

Ascending the staircase, the first floor offers two spacious double bedrooms, each with en-suite shower rooms, along with additional landing storage currently used as a wardrobe.

Externally, the property boasts ample off-road parking to the front, framed by mature trees and shrubs, creating a leafy and private setting. The expansive rear garden is a true highlight, featuring a large patio area, well-maintained lawns, a dedicated vegetable patch, and a glasshouse-ideal for keen gardeners or those looking to enjoy outdoor living.

Layer-de-la-Haye is a charming village just 4 miles south of Colchester, offering a wealth of amenities, including a junior and infant school, village shop, community hall, doctor’s surgery, tennis courts, and two well-regarded pubs with restaurants. The nearby Abberton Reservoir and Essex Wildlife Centre provide scenic walking trails and nature experiences, while excellent road links make access to Colchester’s city centre, Stanway’s Tollgate Retail Park, and the coastal beauty of Mersea Island both easy and convenient.
