A wonderful three-bedroom detached bungalow occupying a generous plot with a glorious rear garden, ample off-road parking and two detached garages, enjoying a peaceful, semi-rural setting beside farmland, within easy reach of Canterbury. This fantastic property offers enormous potential for someone with the vision to create their forever home, with plenty of scope for modernisation and reconfiguration to suit their own needs and tastes. Tucked away at the end of a small track shared by just a handful of homes, just off New House Lane, the property enjoys a lovely sense of peace and seclusion.
Inside, the bungalow offers surprisingly spacious and versatile accommodation, with a layout that provides plenty of flexibility. To the front are two excellent double bedrooms, both featuring attractive bay windows that allow plenty of natural light to flood in. The accommodation continues into an inviting sitting room with a gas fireplace, from which double doors open into an impressive 21ft dining room. This wonderful space enjoys a dual aspect, with windows overlooking the garden and providing a lovely connection to the outdoors. With its generous proportions and beautiful outlook, it could equally lend itself to use as an additional sitting room, offering somewhere peaceful to relax and unwind.
There are two shower rooms, one of which has recently been renovated and features a generous walk-in shower, WC and wash basin, complemented by modern, fully tiled walls. The second shower room would benefit from modernisation but is an incredibly useful addition, particularly when accommodating family or guests. There is also a third bedroom, currently used as a home office, which would work equally well as a single bedroom or occasional guest room.
To the rear is a good-sized kitchen, offering plenty of worktop and storage space, with a large window framing a pleasant view of the garden. While perfectly functional as it stands, there is excellent scope for a new owner to modernise the room over time and create a kitchen to their own style and specification.
The property also benefits from a generous loft space, accessed via a pull-down ladder, which is fully boarded and has a window, providing plenty of additional storage. This is complemented by two detached garages, offering secure parking, exceptional storage or fantastic workshop space. One of the garages even benefits from an inspection pit, a particularly appealing feature for motoring enthusiasts who enjoy working on their own vehicles.
The garden is undoubtedly one of the property's standout features and will be particularly appealing to keen gardeners and those who value having plenty of outdoor space. Exceptionally generous in size, it stretches away from the house, with large expanses of lawn interspersed with mature trees, shrubs and established planting, creating a wonderfully green and peaceful setting. A patio immediately to the rear of the property provides a lovely spot for outdoor dining or simply sitting and enjoying the surroundings, while a pathway meanders through the garden towards the far end. There is also a substantial timber shed, providing yet more useful storage.
With its mature planting, established boundaries and pleasant outlook, the garden enjoys a wonderful sense of privacy and offers an abundance of space for a new owner to nurture and make their own. Whether you're a passionate gardener, enjoy entertaining outdoors or simply want somewhere peaceful to sit and enjoy nature, it's a fantastic space with so much to offer.
Location:
The area of New House Lane is friendly and welcoming, known for its strong sense of community and access to beautiful countryside walks through surrounding fields and orchards. The nearby community hall hosts a regular programme of events and classes, from coffee mornings to craft groups and summer parties, offering a wonderful way to get involved locally.
As well as its peaceful, semi-rural setting, the property is ideally positioned for convenient access into Canterbury city centre, which is just a short drive or cycle away - and even within walking distance for those who enjoy an active lifestyle. A range of local amenities, including Morrisons and Dunelm are also within easy reach.
For families, the location is particularly appealing, with a highly regarded nursery school located on the lane and excellent secondary schooling nearby, including both Langton grammar schools and St. Anselm's. Commuters are well catered for too, with quick access onto the A2 and high-speed rail services from Canterbury West to London St. Pancras.
