Set on a generous plot in sought-after Layer Breton, this spacious three-bedroom detached bungalow offers single-storey living with far-reaching paddock and open-field views. The home combines contemporary fittings with traditional features — a double-sided log burner links the large lounge and open-plan dining/family room, creating a warm central hub for family life. French doors open from both the principal bedroom and the living area onto a private, established rear garden and generous patio.
The principal suite includes fitted wardrobes, an en suite shower room and a separate dressing room currently used as a study, useful for a home office or additional storage. The modern kitchen/breakfast room is well equipped with integrated appliances and a breakfast bar; an adjoining utility provides practical laundry space. Two versatile studio outbuildings (one with air conditioning) offer hobby, office or home-gym potential, adding real flexible accommodation to the plot.
Practical points to note: heating and fuel are via an oil tank (enclosed on site), which may be a consideration for running costs and services. Council tax is above average for the area. Access to loft storage is by pull-down ladder. The property is freehold, in a low-crime village with fast broadband and good local schools nearby, making it well-suited to families seeking countryside living within easy reach of Colchester.
Overall, Hillcrest presents a roomy, well-presented bungalow with strong outdoor space and useful ancillary buildings — ideal for buyers wanting one-level living, rural views and adaptable work-from-home options, while being mindful of oil heating and council tax implications.
