This charming period cottage, dating back to the mid-19th century, is situated in the peaceful village of Layer-de-la-Haye and boasts a range of original features, including arched front windows and a red brick fireplace. The property has been sympathetically modernized, with a modernized family bathroom, kitchen with integral appliances, and three double bedrooms on the first floor. The property also features a home office, previously a detached garage, with electricity and heating. The secluded rear garden is laid to lawn with a stone sun terrace, and there is off-road parking for one vehicle, as well as two further spaces to the rear. The village offers a range of amenities, including a primary school, public houses, and a village shop, and is just a short drive from Colchester town centre and its various shops, restaurants, and leisure facilities.
