4 bed detached bungalow for sale

Crossways, Ripple, Deal CT14

If you are considering a move to the coast or countryside, this beautifully positioned detached bungalow set within approximately 1.6 acres (not verified) offers a rare opportunity to enjoy space, privacy and far-reaching rural views. Built in 2005, the property sits in a spectacular position surrounded by rolling farmland, with panoramic countryside views to the rear and the nearest neighbouring property approximately 500 metres away, creating a wonderful sense of seclusion.

The accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to make the most of the breathtaking outlook, with large rear-facing windows and sliding doors framing the surrounding landscape, particularly from the open-plan living and dining room, which flows naturally from the sociable kitchen–breakfast room. In addition, there is a separate sitting room, providing a more intimate space to relax.

The property offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, two of which benefit from en-suite bathrooms, alongside a generous family bathroom and cloakroom, while the home further benefits from underfloor heating and air conditioning for year-round comfort.

Outside, the gardens and adjoining paddock enjoy uninterrupted views across neighbouring farmland and provide the perfect setting to enjoy spectacular sunsets. The property is further enhanced by a detached double garage, a separate office/gym, and an extensive gated driveway providing ample parking. There is also exciting potential, subject to the necessary planning permissions, to create an annexe or even a Paragraph 84e ‘Grand Designs’ style home within the land to the side.

This home is set in a truly breathtaking location surrounded by picturesque rolling farmland with far-reaching views, offering a peaceful countryside setting while remaining wonderfully connected.

"We bought this property the day we viewed it. The views are incredible, the peace and tranquillity are second to none, yet the beach, shops, pubs, restaurants, beautiful walks and the station to London are all just five minutes away. It was also a stunning blank canvas.

Over the past four years we’ve transformed it into what we believed would be our forever home. No expense has been spared to create a calm, contemporary space with beautiful finishes and high-quality fittings throughout. It’s economical to run, easy to maintain, offers plenty of secure parking and is simple to lock up and leave, while the social spaces have hosted many memorable family moments and parties. Some of our favourite evenings have been spent watching the sunset with a bottle of wine, listening to the wildlife and enjoying the peace of nature.

With heavy hearts we’re now selling to move to the West Country to be closer to our daughter, paying nearly double the asking price for a home that only just comes close to Crossways. Life moves on."
