Description
Discreetly located in the centre of Layham, Horseshoe Cottage comprises a detached four-bedroom period cottage which has much appeal.
The original part probably dates from the early 1800’s which forms the main reception areas, where a central fireplace housing a wood burner divides the living and sitting rooms.
A much later, single storey addition is to the rear which has significantly extended the previous kitchen into a contemporary and stylish, open-plan kitchen / dining room.
The kitchen is comprehensively fitted with ‘Schuller’ units, quartz work surfaces, ‘Neff appliances and limestone floor tiles with underfloor heating.
The rear dining area offers an abundance of natural light via large Velux windows, full-width tri-folding doors with glazed panel over.
The first floor provides four bedrooms, which similarly to the entire ground floor offers much natural light via numerous bespoke double-glazed windows.
Much emphasis is to the rear aspect, giving delightful views over adjacent gardens and particularly the Brett Valley beyond. All bedrooms are served by a stylishly fitted family.
Outside
The property offers ample off-road parking via shingle front driveway. Adjacent is a detached garage which also incorporates a useful annex / home office, with wood burner and a mezzanine floor over offering extensive storage.
The front garden is generally laid to lawn, where access to one side leads through to the rear garden (south-west) which consists of a sheltered seating area, patio and lawn defined by shrub borders.
The garden offers a good deal of privacy which backs onto neighbouring gardens and the Brett Valley towards Lower Layham.
Set in the village centre, Upper Layham is a small, quaint village located some 1.8 miles from the popular market town of Hadleigh and only 3.5 miles west from the A12. Hadleigh offers a wide range of local amenities including restaurants, pubs, sports facilities, and a wide selection of shops.
