Set within approximately 0.27 of an acre, this two bedroom detached bungalow offers an exciting opportunity for those looking to undertake a full renovation project or potentially redevelop the site, subject to the necessary planning consents.
The existing property, while in need of modernisation, provides a traditional layout with two bedrooms, a main living area, dining room, kitchen, conservatory and bathroom, together with generous external space that offers excellent potential for improvement or replacement with a new home of individual design.
The plot size and setting make this a particularly attractive prospect for buyers seeking a project in a peaceful rural location while remaining within easy reach of Colchester and local amenities.
Situated in the desirable village of Layer Breton, this property enjoys a tranquil countryside position surrounded by open farmland and picturesque scenery. The village lies just a short distance south-west of Colchester, offering convenient access to the town’s wide range of shopping, leisure, and schooling options.
Nearby, the villages of Layer-de-la-Haye and Birch provide everyday amenities including local shops, public houses, and primary schools, while Abberton Reservoir Nature Reserve is only a few minutes away - perfect for walking, birdwatching, and outdoor recreation.
For commuters, the A12 is within easy reach, providing excellent road connections towards Chelmsford, London, and the coast, while Colchester railway stations offer regular services to London Liverpool Street.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a property with genuine development or renovation potential in one of the area’s most sought-after rural villages.
