5 bedroom detached house

An extremely rare opportunity has arisen to purchase this stunning five bedroom executive detached residence, set in a fabulous position in 'Le Bois' - Arguably one of the most exclusive addresses in the Colchester area and within the highly sought after village of Layer-de-la-Haye.

Upon entering this imposing home you are greeted by an impressive reception hall featuring a turning staircase, fitted storage cupboard and large under stairs cupboard. This leads to a bright, sizeable living room, a study/family room, a spacious dining room, a fabulous re-fitted kitchen/dining room and utility room and finally a cloakroom completes the ground floor.

On the first floor there are five bedrooms including a stunning master, which features dual aspect windows with views over the green, various fitted wardrobes/storage and a luxurious en-suite shower room. Furthermore there is an additional guest en-suite to bedroom two and a family bathroom - both of which have been re-fitted by the current owners in recent years.

Outside the property is set in a delightful position in this peaceful enclave, with direct views over the central green to the front and is approached by a generous resin driveway which leads to an integral double garage. The resin has also been cleverly continued with the path to the side of the property leading to the rear garden.

To the rear there is a stunning west facing garden, originally designed by Chelsea Flower Show medallist Andrea Parsons. This fabulous space is laid mostly to lawn, interspersed by numerous sweeping beds which are planted with an established range of shrubs and herbaceous plants. Across the rear of the property is a shingle and brick terrace accessed via the French doors from the kitchen and sitting room. The rear garden is completely enclosed by closed board fencing and a selection of mature evergreens.

As previously mentioned properties in this location seldom appear on the open market and we would therefore strongly advise early viewings to avoid much disappointment, no onward chain.
