Description

This detached three-bedroom bungalow, constructed in the 1960s, is nestled within the charming village of Herne. It occupies a generous plot that features established landscaping with mature trees and vibrant flowerbeds, providing a tranquil setting for potential owners. The property has been held by the same family since its completion by the notable developers Johnson & Ratford, presenting a unique opportunity for new occupants to modernize and personalize the space to their liking. The heart of the home is a spacious entrance hall that leads to three comfortable bedrooms, all equipped with fitted wardrobes, alongside a shower room and a separate WC that could be reconfigured into one main family bathroom. The dual-aspect lounge at the rear boasts large French doors that open into an impressive 100 ft garden, creating an inviting interface between indoor and outdoor living. The retro-style kitchen provides ample storage and counter space, perfect for culinary enthusiasts or those looking to update with modern amenities. An additional feature of this property is the substantial attic space that could offer exciting prospects for conversion into extra living accommodation, subject to obtaining the necessary permissions. This potential adds significant investment value as it allows you to create additional rooms tailored to your needs. Set back from Canterbury Road and accessed via a private service road, this bungalow sits on approximately 0.19 acres of beautifully maintained grounds. The outdoor area includes well-kept lawns bordered by established shrubs, ensuring privacy with dense beech hedges around the perimeter. A patio extends along the back of the house toward a workshop and garage space—complete with an electric roller shutter door—offering convenient access while allowing for versatile use. At one end of the garden, there is also a secluded area dedicated to growing vegetables and fruit bushes, showcasing an opportunity for sustainable living or gardening hobbies. Located in Herne village, residents can enjoy local amenities including quaint pubs known for fine ales, a primary school, and various community facilities such as a post office/store and village hall adjacent to expansive playing fields. The nearby seaside town of Herne Bay—just under two miles away—offers diverse shopping options along with recreational activities like cinemas and sports clubs. Transport links are strong in this region; Herne Bay benefits from mainline rail services to London Victoria and St Pancras taking just over an hour. Additionally, major roads provide accessible commutes toward both coastal destinations and London’s motorway networks. Just seven miles away lies Canterbury—the historic cathedral city rich in culture—with its array of shops, independent eateries, theaters, educational institutions
