Description

Presented here is a two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow that holds significant renovation or redevelopment potential, ideal for investors or buyers looking to create their dream home. The interior layout includes a sitting room that opens into a conservatory, providing a bright space for relaxation. The kitchen is functional yet ripe for modernization, while both bedrooms offer decent proportions, accommodating various configurations. The family bathroom is serviceable but could benefit from an update to meet contemporary standards. One of the standout features of this property is the generous rear garden, which not only enhances outdoor living but also presents opportunities for extension (subject to planning permission). At the front, a driveway facilitates off-road parking, adding convenience to everyday life. This bungalow is situated in the desirable Swalecliffe area of Whitstable, known for its growing appeal. Residents can enjoy easy access to a nearby parade of shops and a Sainsbury's supermarket, along with various dining options and local amenities such as Chestfield medical centre and Long Rock beach—all within walking distance. Transport links are another noteworthy advantage; the Triangle bus service connects Whitstable to Canterbury and Herne Bay, while Chestfield & Swalecliffe train station provides direct services to central London. With its combination of location benefits and ample potential for improvement, this property represents an exciting opportunity for those ready to invest in renovations or redevelopment.
