Description

This detached three-bedroom bungalow is centrally located in the charming village of St. Nicholas-at-Wade, offering a unique opportunity for renovation and investment potential. Positioned next to the village shop and Post Office, and within a short walking distance to the historic church and two local pubs, this property benefits from a vibrant community atmosphere. The well-regarded primary school is also just a 10-minute stroll away, making it ideal for families. Having served as a beloved family home for many years, the bungalow requires modernisation, presenting a blank canvas for prospective buyers. With its spacious layout, there are various paths forward—whether that involves updating the existing structure or exploring more ambitious redevelopment options (subject to planning permission due to its location in a conservation area). The property sits on a generous plot with a large attic space that could accommodate further creative possibilities. Upon entering the property, you'll find yourself in a generously sized south-facing lounge with expansive windows overlooking the front garden which features predominantly lawn. The kitchen offers ample space for dining arrangements such as a central table or island. The layout includes three double bedrooms alongside a bathroom and separate toilet, providing functional spaces for everyday living. Outside, the advantages continue; the driveway can accommodate multiple vehicles and leads to a double garage, while the rear garden invites consideration for landscaping improvements with its established areas of lawn and mature planting. St. Nicholas-at-Wade combines community charm with accessibility; it boasts not only local amenities but also good transport links. Birchington nearby offers additional shops, cafés, and essential services including pharmacies and supermarkets, along with direct train connections to London from Birchington-on-Sea railway station. For those who enjoy outdoor pursuits, the surrounding countryside features scenic walks leading to secluded beaches between Birchington and Reculver. The proximity of larger coastal towns like Herne Bay, Margate, and Ramsgate adds to local leisure opportunities while Canterbury's historic city center is conveniently close by. With excellent road access via the A28 leading toward major routes like the M2 heading toward London and Dover, this property provides an appealing option whether you're considering downsizing or seeking an investment opportunity in an increasingly popular locale. Viewings are encouraged to explore its potential firsthand.
