3 bed bungalow for sale

Oaks Dene, Walderslade Woods, Chatham ME5

Tucked away in the sought-after Walderslade Woods location, within a quiet cul-de-sac with no through traffic, this immaculately presented detached bungalow has been extensively refurbished in recent years to create a stylish, practical and wonderfully private home. Set back from the road, the property enjoys a generous driveway providing ample off-road parking, while the adjoining garage offers excellent additional storage, further parking or, subject to the necessary consents, potential for future conversion.

Step inside and the welcoming entrance hallway immediately gives the home a natural sense of separation, with the bedroom accommodation positioned away from the main living and entertaining space. This thoughtful layout works particularly well for anyone wanting single-storey living without compromising on space, privacy or flexibility.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the impressive open-plan kitchen, lounge and dining room. Measuring approximately 20'5" by 16'4" at its widest point, it is a bright, sociable space designed around everyday living. The contemporary kitchen has been finished to a high standard, with sleek cabinetry, generous work surfaces, integrated appliances and a substantial central island and breakfast bar, providing plenty of room for morning coffee, informal meals or entertaining friends while cooking. Underfloor heating adds an extra level of comfort, while the open arrangement allows the kitchen to flow naturally into the spacious lounge and dining areas.

A wide run of bi-fold doors stretches across the rear of the living space, filling the room with natural light and creating a superb connection with the garden. During the warmer months the doors can be opened right back, allowing the inside and outside spaces to work together beautifully, whether you are hosting family and friends or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon at home. The lounge itself has ample room for substantial seating and includes a contemporary fireplace, while fitted display recesses add character without interrupting the clean, modern finish.

The main bedroom forms part of the extended accommodation and is a particularly generous double, measuring approximately 15'9" by 13'1". There is excellent space for wardrobes and additional bedroom furniture, together with its own en-suite shower room, giving the principal bedroom a comfortable degree of independence. Two further double bedrooms provide excellent flexibility for family, visiting guests or those working from home, and the accommodation is completed by a separate modern shower room.

Outside, the rear garden is a real feature of the property. Wrapping around the bungalow, it feels private, established and pleasantly secluded, with mature planting, shrubs and trees creating a leafy backdrop throughout the year. There are several different seating and patio areas, allowing you to follow the sun, find a shaded corner or create separate spaces for dining and relaxing. A variety of fruit trees adds further character, while the mature planting gives the garden a sense of depth and privacy that is difficult to recreate in a newer home.

Further practical touches include solar panels to the roof, plantation-style shutters to a number of windows and the attached garage, which measures approximately 16'2" by 8'3". The accommodation extends to approximately 81.2 sq m, or 873.8 sq ft, according to the supplied floorplan, and every part of the layout has been used intelligently.

Walderslade Woods is well placed for everyday amenities, while convenient access to the A2 and M2 makes this an excellent base for anyone travelling across Medway, into Kent or further afield. Combining a quiet setting, generous driveway parking, versatile three-double-bedroom accommodation, a superb open-plan living space and a secluded wraparound garden, this is a bungalow that offers far more than first impressions suggest.

For buyers looking for a detached, single-storey home that has already been modernised and thoughtfully extended, this is one that deserves to be seen in person.
