Summary - 49, Old Forge Road, Layer-de-la-Haye CO2 0JT
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Generous plot with garage and easy access to Colchester.
Three bedrooms with family bathroom and ground-floor cloakroom
This extended three-bedroom detached house sits on a generous plot in sought-after Layer‑de‑la‑Haye, five miles south of Colchester. The layout suits family life: separate lounge/dining, a kitchen/breakfast room with useful storage, and a conservatory currently used as a study. An enclosed rear garden, driveway and single garage provide practical outdoor and parking space.
Built in the late 1960s/early 1970s, the property is comfortable but shows its age in places. Double glazing was fitted before 2002 and the EPC is D, so buyers should expect modernisation opportunities—particularly to heating, insulation and cosmetic finishes—to improve energy performance and long‑term running costs.
The location is a strong selling point: very low local crime, fast broadband, good local primary schools and easy access to countryside amenities around Abberton Reservoir and Mersea Island. Tenure is freehold and there is mains gas central heating. Note that details about mobile coverage are inconsistent in the paperwork; prospective purchasers should verify signal and any other service queries.
Overall this is a well‑proportioned family home with garden and garage, offering immediate occupation for a buyer happy to refresh and invest to increase comfort and energy efficiency.
