Description

This bungalow, once part of the Ashdown House School, is tucked away in a serene location offering significant redevelopment potential. The property occupies approximately 1¼ acres, including a substantial garden and paddock area. With a layout that can be reimagined to include an open plan kitchen/sitting/dining space, 2 to 3 bedrooms, and potentially even additional living areas, there is ample opportunity for renovation. The existing structure is in need of attention, making it an ideal blank canvas for those looking to refurbish, extend upwards into the roof space, or even consider rebuilding (subject to planning approvals). The setting boasts stunning views over the Medway Valley and easy access to the Forest Way and Ashdown Forest. Additionally, the bungalow features electric heating, mains electricity and water supply, and shared private drainage services. This property does carry a service charge for maintenance of common areas. A perfect investment for buyers eager to transform a unique property.
