Three double bedrooms with flexible upstairs accommodation
Set on a large plot in sought-after Layer‑de‑la‑Haye, this three-double-bedroom detached cottage combines characterful charm with modern conveniences. The house sits well back from the road behind a pretty front garden and opens into a generous open-plan living/dining room and a stylish fitted kitchen. The mature south‑east facing rear garden is private and well established, with a detached, fully insulated and powered office at the far end — ideal for home working or creative use.
Practical benefits include off‑street parking to the front and additional spaces to the rear accessed via a private drive, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing, freehold tenure, and fast broadband available. The property is presented with modern bathroom and kitchen fittings and offers flexible accommodation across two floors with three double bedrooms.
Notable considerations: the Energy Performance Certificate is D, and some character elements and fixtures reflect the home’s age and may require ongoing maintenance. There is a large cloakroom on the first floor that could be converted into additional shower/bathroom space if desired. The property is offered with a complete onward chain, which supports a quicker sale process.
This home will suit families seeking village living with easy access to Colchester, commuters wanting good road and rail links, or buyers wanting an established home with immediate useable home‑office space and garden room potential.
