2 bed detached bungalow for sale

The Crescent, Canterbury CT2

***Guide Price £400,000 - £425,000***

Occupying an impressive, level plot in one of Canterbury's most desirable residential locations, this detached two-bedroom bungalow presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home with exceptional potential and planning permission already in place.

Unlike many properties along The Crescent, which feature sloping gardens, this bungalow enjoys a generous flat rear garden, providing the perfect canvas for extension, landscaping or simply enjoying the wonderful outdoor space.

The current owners had intended to create their forever home and have already invested significant time and expense into preparing the property for development. The garden has been professionally cleared, and planning permission has been obtained for the demolition of the existing rear extension and the construction of a spacious new single-storey extension, creating the opportunity for a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and family room. Unfortunately, a change in personal circumstances means those plans can no longer be realised, presenting a fantastic opportunity for the next owner to benefit from the work already undertaken.

Internally, the bungalow offers well proportioned accommodation with two bedrooms, comfortable living space and excellent scope to modernise or extend to suit individual requirements.

To the front, there is a private driveway providing off-road parking for two vehicles, together with a detached garage offering additional storage or workshop space.

Whether you are looking to downsize without compromising on outdoor space, create your dream bungalow or secure a property with genuine future potential in a highly sought-after location, this is an opportunity not to be missed.

Planning Permission

The property benefits from planning permission (Reference: Ca/25/02351) for the demolition of the existing rear extension and the construction of a new single-storey rear extension, with approved plans available upon request.

The Crescent is one of Canterbury's most sought-after residential addresses, ideally located just over a mile from the historic city centre with its excellent selection of shops, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities. The property is also conveniently positioned for the University of Kent, Canterbury Christ Church University and Kent & Canterbury Hospital. Families are well served by a choice of highly regarded primary and secondary schools, while commuters will appreciate the easy access to Canterbury West station, offering High-Speed services to London St Pancras, together with excellent links to the A2.
