PROPERTY
Set within upon an enviable plot of c 0.9 acres (sts), Maroondah is a well-proportioned detached four-bedroom bungalow, located in the village of Layer Breton to the south of Colchester.
The property is approached via a sweeping gravelled driveway providing ample off-road parking for several vehicles in addition to the detached double garage.
A storm porch welcomes you to the home and the entrance hallway allows access to the dual aspect sitting room with oriel bay window to the front and open fireplace.

The spacious kitchen / breakfast room enjoys uninterrupted views of the garden via patio doors, and contains the following integrated appliances, four ring halogen hob and extractor hood, double oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, and freezer. There is also space and plumbing for a free-standing washing machine. Ample storage is provided by a good array of cupboards and drawers.
All four bedrooms are doubles, bedrooms one and two both come with fitted wardrobes, the former with the additional benefit of a vanity dressing table. Bedroom three is presently used as a study (with fitted book cases) and bedroom four is presently used as a craft room.
The family bathroom is comprised of a bath, with power shower and shower screen, toilet, heated towel rail and handbasin set within a vanity unit. A separate cloakroom completes the internal accommodation and is comprised of a toilet and handbasin.
OUTSIDE

In total the plot is circa 0.9 acres (sts).
SITUATION
Layer Breton is about five miles south of Colchester, and the village plays host to a popular public house, the nearby primary school in Birch was rated as good in the latest Ofsted report.
Local attractions include the Abberton Reservoir and Nature Reserve which provides a lovely area for walking and relaxation, and the historic Layer Marney Tower.
The City of Colchester benefits from a wide range of shopping, leisure, and recreational amenities as well as first rate secondary schooling options.
There is a mainline rail service to London Liverpool Street from Colchester North and Marks Tey, with a journey time of about 50 minutes from the latter.
