Set in the beautiful and sought-after village of Layer de la Haye, this stunning high-spec 4-bedroom detached home offers the perfect blend of modern convenience and village charm.
A true highlight is the luxury home office and lounge, converted from a double garage to create an exceptional workspace. Featuring a vaulted ceiling, electric blinds, aluminium bi-fold doors, multiple power outlets for flexible layouts, and superfast broadband, it’s ideal for remote working or an additional grown-up living space.
The home’s spacious and stylish interior includes an inviting open-plan living area, a high-end kitchen, and a well-equipped utility room with water softener. The entrance hall boasts ample smart storage and luxury vinyl wood flooring for easy maintenance for busy families. Security is also top priority with an alarm system and CCTV installed.
Upstairs, the generous master bedroom features built-in storage, easily accommodating a king-size bed, a wall of wardrobes, and en-suite. Two further double bedrooms and a good-sized single, accompanies a beautifully appointed family bathroom with further smart storage solutions.
The Perfect Semi-Rural Lifestyle
Located just 10 minutes from Colchester city centre and Stanway’s retail parks, the village offers excellent bus and road links. Layer de la Haye Primary School provides a well-regarded, one-form entry education with a strong community spirit and excellent secondary schools nearby too. The village enjoys two exceptional village pubs with beer gardens and quiz nights, a handy village shop, and easy access to Abberton Reservoir and stunning countryside walks- perfect for dog owners and outdoor enthusiasts.
Outdoor Space & Parking
The private rear garden is perfect for families, bordered by mature trees, a sandstone patio for entertaining, and side access for bikes and lawnmowers. The house benefits from a secluded setting, with a lovely green outlook to the front garden, and the recently upgraded driveway easily accommodates four cars which is also future proofed for an EV vehicle.
This exceptional home combines style, practicality, and the ultimate work-from-home setup in a vibrant village setting- viewing is a must!
A note from the owners, “We have absolutely loved living here, we moved from Chelmsford and wanted to have that village life for our family with a small local primary and all the nice things that come with it like countryside dog walks that culminate in the pub! Converting the garage into our office has been an absolute game-changer for us, we can carry out our work professionally, have meetings and deliver our services to a really high standard- we both work here, so we even created an additional office nook to take calls separately or for the kids with their homework so we’re not disturbed- it’s been the most incredible change to our home. Aside from the house, the community here in Layer is a real attraction, with an active interest in supporting the school, local sports teams and generally just keeping it a lovely place to live. We really will miss our friends we’ve made- we’ve had such happy times here.”
