'Horseshoe Cottage' is a deceptively spacious five bedroom detached chalet and occupies an enviable position to the South of Colchester, whilst being situated in a well-connected village which prides itself on a great sense of community. In easy access of Layer-De-La-Haye primary school, as well as a short drive back into the historic city centre, this home is ideal for the expanding modern day family. Layer-De-La-Haye also benefits from two reputable local village pubs, The Donkey & Buskins and Layer Fox, the perfect pit-stop after a scenic walk along the beautiful Abberton reservoir. It also benefits from a local Premier convenience store.

Internally, this excellent family home boasts an array of versatile accommodation and has been upgraded to the highest of standards by the current vendors, all whilst being presented to market in first class order. The ground floor accommodation comprises of; a welcoming entrance door with feature wall panelling and inset storage, sizeable reception room, focal kitchen-diner featuring a central island with downlighters, Rangemaster stove with contrasting splashback (subject to negotiation), tasteful cabinetry and space for appliances, large conservatory with panoramic garden views, three double bedrooms with the master bedroom benefiting from a tiled en-suite and finally, a ground floor shower. Residing on the first floor, a further double bedroom awaits with the added luxury of a generously sized en-suite bathroom with a central feature freestanding bathtub and a further double bedroom - ideal for guests. A wealth of eaves storage and inset storage is also featured.

Outside, this home commands an exceptional plot and measures 0.32 acres in its entirety. Boasting a wealth of mature green space, the garden is predominately laid to lawn and features an array of mature shrubs, hedges, trees and plants throughout. There are various areas laid to patio, presenting themselves as the perfect place for outdoor dining furniture and chairs. Further enhancements include; a large green house, storage shed/workshop, summer house, solar panels (which we understand are owned outright by the sellers and will remain for the benefit of its new occupiers) and a wealth of off road parking on a private driveway.

If the above wasn't enough in itself, the current owners have part converted the garage, which now features a reception area, kitchenette, shower room and bedroom space - this could serve as the perfect self contained annexe for any mature resident or teenager.
