Description

This two-bedroom detached bungalow presents a unique opportunity for renovation or potential redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning permissions. Nestled in an idyllic setting with approximately 5 acres of land, this property is perfect for those looking to invest in a project that can be tailored to their vision. The current owner has enjoyed living here for sixteen years and is now ready to pass it on, creating possibilities for its next chapter. The bungalow features essential living spaces including an entrance porch, a functional kitchen, two bedrooms, and a sitting room that overlooks the expansive gardens. A bathroom completes the main level, while the first floor hosts an attic landing and a sizable loft room that could serve various purposes—a home office, studio, or additional bedroom space. Outdoor amenities are abundant. The property includes a garage and ample driveway parking, alongside mature gardens and fenced paddocks that provide further development possibilities. There are five stables and a double field shelter already in place, making this property suitable for equestrian enthusiasts or those seeking to maintain livestock. Additionally, an orchard filled with apple trees enhances the charm of the land. Located in Rhodes Minnis—an appealing village just moments from Lyminge—this property benefits from proximity to essential amenities such as a Post Office/convenience shop, medical facilities, and schools. The area also offers various clubs and social activities, contributing to a vibrant community atmosphere. Excellent transport links to Canterbury and Folkestone via good bus routes are available nearby, with mainline railway services providing quick access to London. While renovation will be required due to some issues associated with timber frame construction and asbestos in certain areas of the property—which may complicate mortgage options—the substantial land size presents significant investment potential. This is a rare opportunity where imagination and effort can transform this property into something truly special.
