Situated in the highly desirable village of Layer-de-la-Haye, this fully renovated and spacious four-bedroom, two-bathroom detached family home presents a rare opportunity to secure a modern, stylish, and highly functional property. Combining thoughtful design, contemporary upgrades, and a versatile layout, this home offers comfortable living within easy reach of high-performing schools, local amenities, and convenient transport links.

Upon entering, you are welcomed into a light and airy entrance hall, complete with built-in understairs storage for practicality. The home’s layout has been carefully reimagined to maximize space and functionality, including a stunning conversion of the former double garage. This transformed area features a vaulted ceiling, aluminum bi-fold doors, and sleek electric roller blinds, creating an additional living space seamlessly connected to the main house. With the inclusion of a bespoke study nook and extra storage, this area is perfect for working from home or as a versatile family room.

The renovated kitchen is a true centerpiece, thoughtfully designed to combine style and practicality. It offers ample worktop and cupboard space, complemented by a large Stoves range cooker with an extractor fan, a built-in Neff dishwasher, and a plumbed American fridge/freezer with ice and filtered water functionality. Adjacent to the kitchen, the utility room enhances convenience with provisions for a stacked washing machine and tumble dryer (ducted externally), a water softener, and a side door for garden access. The utility room also houses the boiler, which was recently upgraded in 2023 to a high-efficiency Vaillant model.

From the kitchen, the flow continues into the dining room, which is perfect for family meals and entertaining, with doors that open onto the rear garden, inviting in natural light. The lounge has been tastefully redecorated to create a cozy yet contemporary space and features ultrafast County Broadband fibre for modern connectivity needs. Throughout the utility, kitchen, dining area, and lounge, luxury vinyl floor tiles and designer vertical radiators add a cohesive and sophisticated touch.

Completing the ground floor is a beautifully updated WC, thoughtfully enhanced with a side window to introduce natural light.

Upstairs, the spacious landing provides access to a loft via a pull-down ladder. The loft has been boarded and equipped with LED lighting, offering practical storage solutions.

The principal bedroom is a private retreat, featuring a dedicated walkway with space for wardrobes, a dressing table, and additional furniture. Its en-suite bathroom boasts a modern design with a shower, WC, and wash basin.

Two additional double bedrooms offer generous proportions, while a fourth single bedroom is perfect for use as a child’s room, nursery, or home office. The family bathroom has been fully modernized, featuring a bath with an overhead shower, a WC, a wash basin, and built-in storage, ensuring both style and functionality.

The exterior of the property is equally impressive. At the front, a newly installed driveway (completed in 2024) provides ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles. To the rear, the large, enclosed garden offers a tranquil space for outdoor living, featuring a mix of patio and lawn areas. Side access ensures practicality for garden maintenance and additional convenience.
