3 Bedroom detached house ● Layer Road, COLCHESTER ● £800,000
A detached three bedroom property set in a peaceful and pastoral corner of Layer de la Haye occupying a plot of just over two acres. Close to village amenities, the property also enjoys easy access to the city centre and mainline station.
Roman River House is a detached three bedroom house set in approximately 2 acres of mature woodland and landscaped gardens. Set in the idyllic location in Layer de la Haye, the property also offers accommodation extending to 2692sqft including a barn style garage / outbuilding. The immediate vicinity has seen numerous properties, also set in large plots, that have been increased in size and value in recent years and this could be a potential candidate to extend subject to planning consent.
The property is approached via a sweeping driveway passing through undulating mature woodland. The house is nestled atop the gently rolling landscape with manicured lawns and flower gardens facing a south easterly direction.
Inside, the accommodation offers a spacious split level sitting room, separate dining room, kitchen / breakfast room with a utility, ground floor WC and a glazed garden room facing the leafy rear gardens. There are three double bedrooms on the first floor with a bathroom and separate WC.
Outside, there is an array of small out-buildings that are accessed via an enclosed courtyard that, in turn leads out to the extended land and barn style garage with a useful loft room above.
Uniquely bordered by its own woodland, the property enjoys the privacy of countryside living whilst in reality being very close to town and within easy reach of main roads and the train station.

Without a doubt there are two large driving forces for people moving to the area. The excellent range of private and state schools. The grammar schools annually top the league tables across the country. The range of private schools offer a more tailored education and are exceptionally well sought after. The second, being value for money, although, as the town grows, house prices within the area look to rise steadily within the coming years.
