Description

This two-bedroom bungalow presents a compelling opportunity for renovation and investment in a sought-after area. While the property requires modernization, its fundamental layout and location offer significant potential for enhancement. Situated just a short stroll from Cranbrook High Street, this terraced home features an entrance porch that leads into a welcoming hallway, connecting to a kitchen, two generously sized double bedrooms, a shower room, and a living/dining area that opens onto a tiered rear garden. The kitchen, although in need of updating, includes floor and wall-mounted units alongside space for freestanding appliances. Additional storage solutions are available with built-in cupboards housing the hot water tank and utilities. There is loft access via a ladder, providing extra storage options. Both bedrooms provide comfortable living spaces; one boasts front-facing views while the other offers pleasant aspects of the rear garden. The shower room contains essential fixtures including a shower cubicle, low-level WC, and wash basin with storage underneath. The living/dining room is bright and airy thanks to windows that lead directly to the garden. A gas fireplace with back boiler adds warmth to this space during cooler months. Outside, the tiered rear garden features an initial patio area perfect for outdoor seating and steps leading up to an upper level that includes brick storage and a greenhouse. The garden benefits from access via a footpath allowing residents to reach their outdoor spaces conveniently. At the front of the property, there is well-maintained planting along with space for bins and direct access to off-road parking. Opposite the bungalow stands a single garage, adding further convenience. Located within walking distance of Cranbrook's historic market town amenities—including shops, restaurants, schools, healthcare facilities, and recreational areas—this property is also situated within the highly regarded Cranbrook School Catchment Area. With Staplehurst mainline station approximately 5½ miles away offering regular services to London in about an hour, coupled with excellent road links to major routes like the A21 and A229 for easy access to Gatwick and Heathrow airports as well as Ashford International Station—this location proves advantageous for both investors and future homeowners alike. In summary, this bungalow represents not only an ideal residential option but also an exciting chance for those looking to realize its full potential through thoughtful renovation in an increasingly desirable neighborhood.
