About this property
Quiet Cul-De-Sac Location
Spacious Plot Set On Flat
Ideal Downsizing Opportunity
Large Garage & Driveway
Well Maintained Front & Rear Gardens
Modernisation Required
Offering approximately 1,733 sq. Ft. Of gross internal accommodation including the garage, the property is particularly well suited to downsizers, retirees or buyers simply looking for a spacious bungalow without the need for stairs. The property is set on the flat and has been well maintained by the current owners, although the internal accommodation is now a little dated and would benefit from some modernisation, giving the incoming purchaser an exciting opportunity to update and personalise the home to their own taste.
The accommodation is approached via an entrance hall, leading through to a generously proportioned sitting room measuring approximately 4.73m x 3.80m, providing a comfortable principal reception space. A separate dining room, measuring approximately 3.77m x 3.62m, gives further flexibility for formal dining or entertaining and leads through to the conservatory, which overlooks the garden.
The fitted kitchen measures approximately 4.40m x 3.57m, offering excellent potential for modernisation and reconfiguration. There are three bedrooms, including a particularly spacious principal bedroom measuring approximately 3.57m x 3.56m, together with two further bedrooms. A family bathroom and separate WC complete the main living accommodation.
Externally, the property occupies a particularly spacious plot, with generous areas of garden to both the front and rear. This will undoubtedly appeal to those with green fingers, with plenty of scope for gardening, planting and creating a garden to suit individual tastes. The amount of outside space also adds an attractive degree of privacy and versatility rarely found with bungalow properties.
Parking is another significant benefit. The property provides ample off-road parking via a tandem driveway, whilst the substantial front garden means there is potential to create additional parking if desired, by sacrificing part of the existing garden. There is also an attached double garage, providing excellent secure parking, storage or workshop space. The garage measures approximately 5.79m x 4.40m, with the property also benefiting from a sizeable adjoining workshop measuring approximately 6.09m x 3.61m – an especially useful feature for those with hobbies, projects or storage requirements.
New Barn is a popular and well-established village, appreciated for its combination of a peaceful, semi-rural setting and excellent connectivity. The area is particularly well placed for commuters, with easy access to the A2, M2, M25 and M20, whilst nearby Longfield provides a mainline railway station with services towards London Victoria or the Kent coast. Ebbsfleet International is also within easy reach, offering high-speed rail connections into London.
The neighbouring village of Longfield provides a comprehensive range of everyday amenities, including a Waitrose supermarket, Post Office, butcher, bakery, doctors' surgery, dental practice, pharmacy and a selection of cafés, restaurants and takeaway establishments. There is also a good choice of local schooling, with Longfield Academy and Leigh Academy among the secondary options, together with a number of well-regarded primary schools in the surrounding villages.
This is therefore an appealing opportunity for buyers seeking the peace and privacy of a detached bungalow in a desirable village location, whilst retaining convenient access to amenities, transport links and the wider Kent and London areas.
Importantly, the property is offered to the market with the benefit of no onward chain, providing a particularly convenient and potentially straightforward purchase. This is likely to be especially attractive to those downsizing, where avoiding a lengthy onward chain can make the moving process considerably easier.
An internal viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the generous proportions, substantial plot and excellent potential this bungalow has to offer.
