Malting Green Road, Layer-de-la-Haye, CO2 0JJ

Boydens are pleased to bring to the market this well-presented three/four bedroom detached bungalow, situated in the ever-popular village of Layer de la Haye, to the west of Colchester city centre.

The property has undergone a schedule of refurbishment over recent years, including replacement windows, boiler, kitchen, bathroom, flooring and redecoration throughout, creating a comfortable and practical home ready for immediate occupation.

The accommodation is well arranged, with the main living space positioned to the rear of the property, enjoying direct access onto the generous garden.

The lounge is a spacious and welcoming room, centred around an electric fireplace, with ample space for both seating and a dining area.

French doors open onto the rear patio, making this an ideal room for everyday living and entertaining.

There is also an existing chimney stack behind the current fireplace, offering potential for a gas or open fire to be reinstated, subject to the necessary works.

The kitchen is well laid out and fitted with a range of cupboards, integrated appliances and useful pantry storage.

To the front of the property are four good-sized rooms, three of which are comfortable double bedrooms.

The fourth bedroom is currently used as a study and benefits from an electric fire, but could equally serve as a separate dining room, snug or occasional bedroom, depending on the buyer’s requirements.

The bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, comprising a bath with shower over and pedestal-style wash hand basin, while there is also a separate WC with hand basin.

Externally, the bungalow sits on a good-sized yet manageable plot.

There is off-road parking to the front and side, with the driveway leading to a detached single garage complete with power, lighting, side access door and electric roller shutter door.

The rear garden is generous in size and provides an excellent space for outdoor dining, gardening and family use.

Layer de la Haye remains one of the area’s most sought-after villages, offering a strong community feel and a range of local amenities.

These include a shop and Post Office, The Layer Fox public house within easy walking distance, The Donkey & Buskins public house, Layer de la Haye Primary School, village hall and nearby bus stops.

The village is also well placed for Abberton Reservoir and the Essex Wildlife Trust visitor centre, offering excellent opportunities for countryside walks and outdoor recreation.
